Do you hug your friends? If so how often? If not why?

I dislike hugs, even more so post-ish pandemic. I like my personal space and I may really like my friends, but I'd prefer just to say hi and not hug them. Some of them get this, others persist in wanting to hug me which I find uncomfortable. It's not for lack of love either, my parents were big on hugs growing up, but it's just not me.

[NathanDavis]

some of them, yes... because they're big time huggers so those are genuine

how often? well, every time I see them... lol, and a couple of them girls are very cuddly so there's that

besides that... there are some times in which I just can tell they need a hug so I just do that without asking or telling, sometimes they just need that, other times they want to talk about it as well, so we do...

I don't hug male friends. It seems gay to me and I don't like it. I only hug female friends if they have initiated a hug with me first before and I normally do a side hug for most of them. If I was in a relationship it would be limited to side hugs only.

Me and my friends hug almost every day and I remember in February of last year when my school was doing this thing where go in person half the day and the rest of the day is online me and my current best friend hugged for like almost a full minute because we hadn't seen each other for almost a whole year

[N192K001]

No, not really.

Whether here in the U. S. or back in the Philippines, men hugging fellow-men is not too common. And looking back, hugs with my female-friends were rare. And these days, I keep distance (physical & otherwise) from all non-family, so "no" seems the best response here.

I hug both my women and close guy friends. Not on every meeting, but certainly when we haven't seen each other for "a while". There's nothing sexual about it. Just an expression of the warmth I feel for them.

I did in my teens as a young student in uni but stopped when I got older cause when your older, people don’t instantly trust you or feel nurturing feelings towards you, so they might not welcome hugs from you.

I hug most of my friends. I hug them almost each time I see them. But, I do not hug my friends who do not like hugs because I need to respect their preferences.

[Sour-rose]

All of my friends are dead. :) (not actually but might as well be since I never hear from them)

But I have recieved a hug from one of Mt work friends before she bounced. Felt good.

[melanieeeB]

Yeaah of course! Everytime we see each other to greet one another and also to say goodbye or sometimes just like that in-between, depending on the situation etc

[FinalFantasyBro]

I unfortunately don't really have any friends I definitely been trying to talk to more people though

[Msputiton]

Hopefully that changes

[FinalFantasyBro]

Thanks I definitely want to break that problem

[Jaximus-Lion]

Of course i do. First when i see them, when ever i feel for or they need/want it 😁 and when we say goodbye. Hugs are good for our mentality 🤗🫂

[DonkeyDan]

I always hug my friends regularly, both male and female.

[20yearsolder]

I do with my close friends, I do it every time I see them

[Zondahyura22]

I didn't see one of my best friend for about 3 years i don't hug my friends usually but when i saw him we hugged each so when he left again to another country

[RebeccaBI2000]

I used to hug my friends all the time when I was younger. It seemed like when I got older and an adult, it was just not accepted really.

[anton_dee]

I'm a guy, so guy hugging is like very rare. Ynless he go8n for a life threatening surgery or something...

If it's a girl, I be hugging even if she flicks her hair a bit 😁😁😁

[talka20]

Yes here its common to hug same gender friends n shake hands

[exitseven]

I do sometimes. I have a friend that I do not see very often. We usully hug.

[Passion_Devil]

If I haven't seen them in a while or they open their arms to welcome one, I'll jump right in!

[bowenw]

Some of them. Some aren't into hugging or close enough friends for hugging.

[dolemite89]
