everyone ask for a hug. Really, Do you mean it?

Question

Why are people women/men..women/women..men/men..so afraid to hug each other? (I don't mean grope) Isn't that a natural way to show joy,comfort and love for each other? Why are we so self conscious?

That is supposed to say mem/men not men/me. Stupid editors!!

Answer 1

to be honest, more adult are afraid to hug each other than teens. I hug my friends at school all the time and we never think any thing of it. but when ever adults hug, people automatically say "Oh there's a gay person" or "awwuuuhh, how sweet, their dating" That's probaby why everyone's so self conscious all the time.

Answer 2

I don't know why people are so slow to give you a big ol' bear hug! Personally, I always really appreciate the gesture. It's one of the most comforting things when you're sad, and a great way to congragulate someone who just accomplished something. It's a multitasking gesture, yet it is used much less than it should be. Maybe it's just too personal for some people.

Answer 3

I'll hug women if they ask first, some women are insecure, have boyfriends or husbands who'd kill any guy who touches their woman-I was punched out for just "looking" at a woman in a club!

Answer 4

Eugene O'Neill once said: "Why am I afraid to dance, I who love music and rhythm and grace and song? .... Why was I born without a skin, Oh God? That I must wear armor in order to touch and to be touched."

I think this says it all.
