Re: Let's talk about hugs

Fantastic topic @Phoenix_Rising. I'm definitely on the virtual hug side. To me it shows that people here are sending genuine care and love. So it feels nice when I receive one.
In the real world - I struggle with hugs - especially with family members. We were never a 'huggy' type family.
With my best friend and little niece - it's always big long hugs.
I crave hugs and the intimacy from hugs (non sexual). I feel validated as a human being when I'm hugged. I feel heard. I feel support. I feel loved.
For me it's definitely easier on the Forum to receive hugs than in the real world.
