Girls, is anyone else going through hug withdrawal from the pandemic?

[Puppystarfish23]

Yes. My boyfriends uncle is down syndrome and he loves to hug people. He's the sweetest, funniest man i know. I can only say hello through the window to him now and i know he's finding it hard not being able to have a social life and see his friends at his day centre and its hard for him to understand. I feel really bad for him and i just wanna give him a hug and tell him everything will be okay but i know i can't because he's at risk.

[Smoke-n-Growls]

Hell yes.

I got hugs up until recently from my friend and his kids, but since our numbers are spiking, we've decided to isolate since I'm not part of his usual cohort and the kids' safety is paramount. (And mine, too, but thinking of the kids makes it easier)

I'm definitely missing hugging my friends and my dad. Fortunately I have a cat and he kinda helps with that.

No I’ve still gotten hugs but only from people close to me. I wouldn’t a stranger hugging me, pandemic or not. I get and give them to a woman I work with that I’m very close to. She’s like my second mom and I’m like her adopted daughter so it’s cool. That’s who I want hugs from anyways.

No I don't shake hands with anyone now. Forget about hugs!

Luckily I still live with my parents and my little brother. I can hug them all day long.

Yes and on my dating life. Plus back on lockdown here.
