Why can a hug by the right person even make your worst day better?

I’m not someone who likes a lot of touch and hugging. But for the few that I allow to hug me it’s like a safe place I get to just let it all go. Like I can be carrying all the stress from day to day living and then when I hug that person it’s like I can breathe again and the stress doesn’t seem so bad.

Hi🍀🦇
When we hug, the body releases oxytocin, a hormone that makes us feel happiness, peace and love. Hugging has a positive effect.
A hug is asafe place under protection of one's love.
I never hugged anyone , it might feel weird to me lol
Because small acts like a hug can go a long way
If it ain’t sex it’s expending emotional energy I don’t have. Pass.
i wouldn't know i haven't been hugged in years and i haven't been kissed since 2005
Brings out positive emotions
it is nice to know somebody gives a shit.
Because you are the problem
I see you don’t hug much
It makes happy chemicals in your brain.
Because of oxytocin release during hugs
