Hi Antonio,

I too am a hugger and I’m always sweetly surprised when people welcome my outstretched arms with a sincere embrace of their own.

I think there are a lot more people out there who NEED a hug than they are willing to admit. I’ve found that there are times when someone lets me hug them that they hold on for longer than expected. They needed that hug a lot more than they even realized. Some are actually willing to admit it and respond with…”wow…that felt good.” Or…”I really needed a hug today.”

Interestingly enough, my best friend of nearly 35 years is not a hugger. She fancies herself one but she’s always very uncomfortable when I squeeze the stuffins’ out of her. I keep doing it though…I’ll never stop. I just consider her a “hugger in training” and I know that one day…those hugs are going to feel as good and right to her as they do to me.
Thanks so much for writing on the subject and please stop by to view some of my blogs at

Luv n’ hugs,

Denise

Hugs are great and should be encouraged more, as the energy flows from one to another, love and peace prevails.

Hi Antonio.

Interesting blog. I tend to let people be who they are and deal with them in their comfort zone. I am a hugger, but if I feel that it makes a person uncomfortable, I will shake their hand instead. It’s just easier for people to receive you when they are comfortable with you. That’s my opinion, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with hugging at all. 🙂

I feel the same way, I am both… If I can tell that the person isnt up tight then I’ll give them a hug. But I kinda care what they are feeling so I don’t try to “step on their toes” if ya know what I mean… But I am told that I am weird anyway so I don’t care….I like who I am.

I am both. I usually try to get a feel for people to see if they are open to a hug. I don’t like to invade their space.

I’m more of a shaker than a hugger but I agree with the upthread that I don’t feel uncomfortable in giving hugs myself. Hugs are more “sincere” and personal. Shaking one’s hands is more professional but distant. Which one is more appropriate? it depends when and who.
