Do you like hugs? (self.Blind)

Yeah, I like hugs, but to honest, I'm not a huge fan of hugging overweight people: it just kind of grosses me out.

Can you tell before it's too late?

I'm pretty sure everyone feels that way.

Then you would be wrong.
Verinio [OP] 0 points 6y ago
ofc someone had to reply ...

it's a comment thread on Reddit, you expect people to not say anything?

Personally, I like hugs. However, I wouldn't want a hug from a random stranger while I am working or going about my businesses.

No. They always feel, to me, like they come out of nowhere. I'll accept them from close friends, and I enjoy cuddling with a romantic partner. But I'm not a big fan of hugging people in greeting, or to say goodbye. Especially because my immune system isn't what I'd like it to be; if you've had the cold or flu, I will catch it. When flu and cold season starts, I'm always the first one sick. Then I get someone else around me sick...and manage to catch the same flu back from them! So if you're sniffling, or I'm sniffling, stay the heck away from me.

> No. They always feel, to me, like they come out of nowhere.

What do you think about hug foreplay? Do they verbally announce that they are going for a hug? Do they touch your hand and slowly move it up your arm, to your shoulders and then behind your back?

im not a hugger nor do i like hugs it always makes me feel like im going to loose my balence and fall
Verinio [OP] 2 points 6y ago
But you have someone to hold onto? Make you maybe feel safe in his or her arms?
ravenshadow2013 1 points 6y ago

This thread is fucking inane. Congratulations.
Verinio [OP] 1 points 6y ago
Hugs are great though!

I love hugs, but usually I am the one throwing up in my arms and telling the person to come here and give me some sugar. Of course there is the occasional surprise hug... but they are fun, kind of like jump scares for the blind!
Verinio [OP] 1 points 6y ago
hahaha, I like you
touch3of3faith 1 points 6y ago
Why thank you
GoneVision 1 points 6y ago
Hugs are awesome. Like others on here, though, I do like to know when someone is going for the big hug.
Unuhi 1 points 6y ago
I like hugs, but only if it's friends or family. I also need to know if they want to hug, so tell me before you hug me or I'll be really uncomfortable. No surprises please.
Verinio [OP] 1 points 6y ago
I imagine so.

Btw was anyone stupid enough to bump into your face?
Unuhi 1 points 6y ago
They forget the little details like that they should tell first. If I'm leaving i can sort of expect some might hug so it can be a bit like the automatic offer your hand for shaking thing. When meeting new people I hope they don't try to hug without permission (as I don't necessarily advertise my limitations)

Who wants to know?
Verinio [OP] 1 points 6y ago
me and 10 other people
Fange_Strellow 1 points 6y ago
So we're talking a group hug situation here, huh?
Verinio [OP] 1 points 6y ago
I'd totally be into that.
TurtleKnife 1 points 6y ago
