I am so stuck!!! I honestly don't know what is the right way to hug. Do you do a side hug, or like a big intimidating bear hug or what?
Or should you not hug people at all?
(I am talking about just my friends, not boys)

There is NOTHING like a good warm hug!!!
Some women don't want others to "feel" their breast against their chest for whatever reasons. Whether it be a side hug or full hug, you breasts ARE going to be felt.
Its up to you. If you want to transfer warmth and fondness, then give a nice full hug. You don't have to hang on and on. A nice hug and then back off.
If you want to remain "distant" a side hug will do. The only thing about a side hug is that if the other person is expecting a full hug, they may reach across to the shoulder furtherest away to give you a full hug and find themselves with a hand full of breast rather than shoulder. What then? A side hug must be understood from the start.
Some women will just hold shoulders and fake a kiss on the cheek while saying..........uummmmmwa. Whatever that means. :-)
Its no big deal, really. Hugs are great and I am VERY sensitive to a cold side hug which tells me how much the person actually likes and cares for me.....I think.
Good luck. Pops

I think a side hug is the best option here if you're looking to avoid awkwardness. The only time I would NOT do a side hug is if the other person initiates a full hug by bringing over the other arm, then, and only then, would I go into a full hug.

Depends on who it is, Male you dont know very well side hug, Female you dont know very well pat on the shoulder, male you know very well light frontal hug not to close to the 2 girls. female you know very well frontal hug but keep the space between you ( so you dont get the knife in your back ).

I like the answer above giving different options for different situations. But here's the biggest tip: take cues from the other person.

If male/female huug, then bring your chests together and hold for the count of two. Kiss on cheek is optional.
Same sex...hold arms only, anything else seems gay

Frontal hug so you feel all the love.

I don't think there is a right or wrong way. If you are uncomfortable, you can always talk to each friend and ask her what she would prefer.
