When is the last times you gave and received hugs?

I hugged a VERY kind lady who has decided to share whatever she will not use from her food pantry orders, and give it to ME, so that I can share it with my neighbors. That was two weeks ago. Several months ago, my son drove me to the hospital for a day procedure, and when he drops me back at home he ALWAYS hugs me...and I am always like..."OUCH!!!!" 🤣🤣🤣 He's a BIG guy!

Sept? The first/last time I saw my old friend in years...despite my sensory issues, surprisingly I was able to handle being hugged. And he's the one who usually makes a comment about the awkward hugs

I don't normally want people touching me much but the last couple years I've been trying to let myself be more open to it. It was a hug from my brother but I can't recall when

Yesterday at church I was hugging just about everyone who doesn't freak out by that. It's the Pentecostal way. Watch all the introverts scatter. Got to respect personal space of course 😂

Church. Some people don't get out much and church is a safe place. No judgment. No criticism.

I don't ask. Too afraid to offend, just by the asking. It's gotten that bad.

Please notice even most on this post are saying relatives. Which I have none.
