Unless it's my sister, my mom, or my grandma, I don't like hugging people..
It's not that I don't like hugs, because I do. I really like hugs. If you like me in any way (the friendly kind of like or the romantic kind of like) I need you to touch me. Like, its hard for me to believe that someone likes me if they don't touch me and say it. Weird, I know.
What makes hugging people uncomfortable is the fact that I simply feel so award doing it. I get kinda stressed about how to hug that person.
"Are we too close?"
"Should I put my arms over the shoulders or under? Or around the waist? Or mid-back?"
"Where should I put my head? Left or right?"
"Should I face the neck or the other way?" Or should my chin be on their shoulder?"
"Am I supposed to completely engulf the person in my arms or just do it halfway?"
"Is it okay to press our chests together?"
"Our crotches are touching. Is that okay?"
"What if I'm making the person uncomfortable?"
"Have we been hugging too long?"
"Should I let go now?"
"Am I breathing too hard?"
That kind of stuff basically ruins hugs for me. I care too much about the other person. Kinda sucks.
Plus, when I hug, I prefer to hug. I really hate that half-assed hug where your bodies lean over 2 feet of air while barely touching shoulders. The fuck is that? BUT THAT'S THE HUG ALMOST EVERYBODY EVER DOES. So hugs simply aren't enjoyable for me.
