Isn’t it crazy how hugs make you feel better?

[wittymilf]

I mean they change nothing in actuality.. but you feel alleviated of your anguish in the moment. The world needs more hugs

[Anpu23]

I go through phases where I can't stand being touched. Not by anyone. And in those times people who want to hug me are jist invading my space, it stresses me completely out and no I don't feel better, I feel worse, get shakey and want to just run as far away as possible.

[SirRexington]

Not really. Its scientifically proven that it benefits is emotionally and even physically by decreasing our heart rate, helping build the immune system and increases dopamine.

It should be stated that this is largely with people we trust and not random individuals.

[ZackBan]

I don't know about that. Very few hugs have ever made me feel better and they are usually hugs I had during intense emotional moments and not just random ones.

[theCobbler]

Indeed! Better sleep, better mental clarity, better mood better appetite ...
I'll take a Whopper of Hugs , and a side of lifetime Snuggling ... Please!

[ImagineSketchy]

It makes sense; we are social animals and feeling that amount of intimacy is very welcoming and even calming is expected. They help your mind release endorphins so that you can feel better.

[goodlongman]

Yes they do... a baby who is not picked up and held will soon die

[Creepazoid]

Lol depends on the person. But whether I like it or not I always appreciate it if its sincere

[M1k3y]

It's like wringing out a wet cloth of emotions

[wittymilf]

Nice imagery

[notshyguy1985]

yeah hugs... though sometimes I think I hold on too long

[WhereAmI]

Wouldn't know. I grew up in a non-touchy freely family. It's kind of alien to me. 🙄

[chriscdi]

because hugs makes you feel supported and secure, it makes sense why they exist

[Daniela1982]

I'd rather have a pay raise than 100 hugs.

[Jerre]

Yes the world does need more hugs. But I usually get a boner when hugging a girl tight.

[NightOwl8801]

Oh absolutely, it helps calm one down and bring their spirits up

[Razal]

The feeling that someone is there to listen, and give you comfort, and shoulders to cry on, makes one feel better

[TahoeHiker]

I think its pretty cool.

[scooogy]

It's like an all body massage

[Dr_Latex_McPeggin]

Hugs are the universes Spiritual Bandaid...

[LiamSawyer]

Please come and hug me!

[Anonymous]

There is something soothing about being cuddled.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes i agree ((( hugs ))) makes one feel better :)

[Adrian2306]

oh trust me... hug can change everything...
