Anyone else dislike hugs?

Yeah, same. I'm okay with it from a SO, but I don't like touching my friends at all.

 

General contact and even people feting too close (like in a crowded area) can make me uncomfortable. I awkwardly put up with things like hugs, but don't initiate them or enjoy them.

 

I love hugs! I give all my loved ones multiple hugs a day.

 

I have always had an issue with uninvited physical touching. In fact, when I got together with Gideon, it took me a while (a few months? possibly longer) to respond to it instead of either avoiding and/or ignoring it. Hugs are included in this.

This includes physical contact from my parents.

The only exception to this is my twin sister, perhaps because we shared so much of the same space growing up and are so close. In Gideon's case, he has helped me become more accustomed to touches from him, but it does not seem to have changed my feelings about it from others.

 

Other than a quick peckish kiss I do not enjoy public displays of affection and I don't mean just between gay people I mean by anyone.
It's creepy and screams ATTENTION WHORE

 

I think someone just called me a whore

*Chuckles*

I tend to make people feel "safe" without even trying to, so I probably get casual touches more than most. I also get more life stories than most offered up with very little, if any encouragement.

And I'm a greedy SOB, so grabbing for Twist is just a natural reaction for me. Getting me to stop? Yeah not going to happen, so luckily he doesn't seem to mind it much.

 

Not whore, man. Attention whore. Which.... to be fair, you are. Not in that you want attention from everyone else, but you definitely demand it from me. AND.... well, you also have to admit you also like to show off that you have something you consider to be precious and special.

Note that I am not complaining. *Smirk*

 

Why do I need anyone else's attention when I have yours? *Grins*

And I can't really argue any of your points here. I love showing you off...I'm damn proud of what's mine

 

I love hugs, as long as they're from loved ones, a significant other, and good friends. There are certain times when I need my space and when I don't want to be touched at all, and certain types of physical interactions make me feel really uncomfortable. However, I generally like hugs from loved ones, especially if they're squeezes haha..I like the feeling of pressure. Sometimes I just need a good hug to feel better.

 

I like the idea of hugs, but I'm usually uncomfortable when someone actually tries to hug me. I guess it makes me feel awkward, and also I'm generally uncomfortable with people touching me.

 

I can relate, though I rarely get people trying to hug me, since I come off as someone that gets into fights easily. Which I do, with my siblings, all of the time still.

 

My response was worth reading the conversation between you two about it!

 

I can't stand being touched in any way, and taking the abuse from my family into the equation, I won't let anyone that close to me except my wife.

Also if it breathes I refuse to even consider trusting it. I've been duped and betrayed by everyone I have ever met so far, so I'm not stupid enough to trust.

 

I mean alot of people have shafted me over in the past causing me to be less open and trusting but after 1 in a half years of not getting a genuine hug from anyone i could really use one right now. Some times it feels good to be touched but you see its who you let touch you that matters.

 

I’m glad it’s not just me that feels weird when people hug you! I always thought it was a trust thing and not wanting to let anyone in added to the fact that my parents never showing any kind of affection towards us growing up as that was how they were brought up. I am getting better though.

 

Yes, hate it from everybody. Scared even just thinking about it. Even though I would love to hug my best friend, who I would love to date - I just can't.

 

Hugs, like everything else for me, are just an interesting topic! I like my own space from time to time and don't tend to like people giving me hugs except for my SO.

I've always been a bit shy so sometimes I worry about hugs even when they are expected. My main worry is how it will come across and if it's awkward because I'm not used to giving them anyway.

But generally I like hugs. I always find that it's a nice way to break the ice and reconnect with friends and I like hugs from family.

 

I feel awkward when it's people I don't know very well or when we haven't spoken to each other in a long time…otherwise I'm okay with it.

 

I like man hugs. I don't like hugging women because I don't like it when their boobs press against me.
