RE: What are the benefits of hugging?

in #steemstem6 years ago

It seems that once again I have made some less than healthy choices in my life. I'm not very good at hugging people until I know them well. I have managed to block my flinch reaction when somebody I just met gives me a hug, but I don't get comfortable in hugging until I KNOW you.

It isn't necessarily lack of contact, but lack of close contact for me, and it has absolutely nothing to do with illness transfer. It's all about my personal space.

Thanks Petra. I'm going to a place where I'll get and give some hugs today. Tomorrow's 4 might be problematic :) Unless doggy hugs count...

Doggy hugs count!!! All animal hugs count!
I get what you mean with personal space, I am like that too. I really like hugging but once I get to know a person and have absolutely no problem with saying no when when someone I do not like wants to touch me :D
