Are you a hugger?

Here on pet talk we are often giving virtual hugs. It is nice. But in real life, are you a hugger?

i love hugs!

I love hugs too! :D

I have always WANTED to be one of those people who hug everyone in sight. But I can't bring myself to do it. :( And if someone hugs me, I feel very self-consious about it, sort of strange.
I LOVE to hug my husband, but beyond that, I never initiate a hug. (even though deep down, I want to)
Makes me sad that I can't love more, but I want simply not brought up in a touchy-feely type of family, I guess.

Exactly, except....I don't have a husband. Sometimes my friends, always my family but other then that, I just can't!

Yep, I love hugs! :)

Interesting thought Jen! (((HUGS))) :D

I was also brought up NOT to hug - very strict and distant family. My husband comes from a hugging family. Over the years I have become a better hugger - starting of course with my husband and then I hugged my kids all the time. Now I will also hug my female friends. I am not naturally *huggy* though and sometime wish I were more open about it.

I usually kiss/or hug my family members and
sometimes hug friends.

I am huggy. My SIL is the best hugger though. She hugs everyone each time she sees us, and then when we leave! It is great.

GUILTY! I am a hugger!!

I was brought up like Sirrahbed and only hug very few people, but
I love to hug all animals. My cats get quite annoyed with me sometimes.
:D

As anyone who has ever met me can attest, I am a hugger. And when you've been hugged by a Peterson - my maiden name - dagnabbit, you know you've been hugged! ;) I try to restrain myself if I can tell someone is going to be uncomfortable, but yup - I'm a hugger!

Beware!

I don't hug much...but I wish I could! Only CLOSE friends and family really...and people that force me to hug them!! lol!:rolleyes:

I meant to vote everyone, but, i clicked on only people of the same sex. Drat. ;) But, yeah, I will hug anyone that will hug me back! :)
