While it's not that deep, has someone ever tired to go in for a hug and you shook their hand or gave them a fist bump instead?

[Extraterrestrial1999]

Yeah, felt awkward hugging that person

Yeah, just didn't feel giving a hug in that moment

Nah, don't want to seem standoffish or like a jerk unless there's a serious dislike for the person

Nah, it was the other way around

as a mildly germophobic and formerly very shy kid as well...

my body did this automatically, lol

I actually had to learn to control my reactions just so people don't feel awkward or offended by it

nowadays I don't prefer it... but I also don't mind it, lol

No I've always accepted a hug from someone.

But a female friend I had not seen for a while, when we met, we give each other a hug, but she said I give her a cuddle, but hug or cuddle I was happy, but does anyone understand a female!

I usually don't reject a hug... but you might get demoted to a side hug... if I won't do either, you are so low on the totem pole you're not getting a fist bump either...

Yes, sometimes I don't want to hug people. Especially not people I barely know.

Nah. I hug most people.
