Aiight. No hugs.
That's usually more comfortable for me anyway. These humans and their "intimacy".

I'll just respect everyone's personal space to such a degree I don't even contribute to the conversation. :V

I'm pretty reserved about hugs IRL but they're really nice on occasion.  And I'm actually surprisingly okay with hugs from strangers (mainly remembering Free Hug Day).

I'm a lot less self-conscious around strangers than people I actually know...

Aw, thanks.

Free Hug Day?

somebody understands. i love you too, deschan

But who doesn't want an underground lair?  Is this not universal?

Given how often parents seem to stop their kids from digging holes in the yard, it's apparently not. They kept taking the shovel away from me ;_;

Free Hug Day?

Sure, let's do it

But yeah, it was this international thing (on Jan 21 apparently) that was celebrated at my college, and maybe a little in high school.  Basically volunteers would hang out in the commons with signs offering free hugs to passerby.  It was pretty sweet, also rad.  Very casual and friendly (:

This is probably why semi-serious discussions of Bay12ers getting together to dig a mountainhome come up every so often.

Honestly I think the only reason I don't like getting hugged is because society's expectation is for me to be awkward when people I don't feel close to hug me.

Or maybe it's because I like romantic cuddling, which makes platonic cuddles awkward unless we're close enough for it to not be awkward.

I understand what you mean, but hugging is not cuddling. Cuddling is SUPPOSED to be romantic and is like an extended hug towards two people in order to get the feel of intimacy between the two. Cuddling, to me, is what COUPLES should be doing. I had an instance of that happening at the college where a taken man was cuddling with a girl who wasn't, and apparently, the guy's GF and myself were the only ones who saw a problem with that.

Later on, he cheats on her, and even though it isn't with the same girl, he CONTINUES to cheat on her.

Cuddling seems to be a form of "I like you a lot" or "I love you" depending on how close you are or if you believe in love or not (if you don't, why the hell are you in a relationship?).

But full sincerity, I see nothing wrong with hugging close friends. The only thing is though, a lot of people have no problem with it except my ex (even when we were together), but I understand because she's an abuse victim, but to a lot of people, its weird how quickly I am to hug them. I do it because I feel bad for the person and I know hugs make people feel better no matter WHO you are. And the sad thing is, a lot of people I meet I want to hug, only because I know their lives are shit. Hell, my ex is one of those people, and it sucks sometimes because she won't accept hugs when she starts getting really sad.
