    How many hugs is enough hugs?

    Another question, what was the appropriate amount of hugs that you obviously recieved?

    One of my secondary school teachers once remarked that you need at least 3 hugs a day. She also qualified that by saying you get to decide what counts as a hug, because some people are more comfortable with handshake (or analogous) than a hug.

    Having a 5 year old, 3 hugs a day is insane. I get more than 3 hugs in the first minute of my kid waking up. I'm already scared knowing their cuddliness won't last forever. The first time I've spent one day/night away and I got so touch deprived by 5 pm I almost started cuddling my friend.

    I like hugs but wont go in for one. People scare me, or really, they make me anxious.

    Yeah, that's one of the reasons the "Free Hugs" persons at PLUR-positive festivals and events exist. They want to give hugs to the people that want them but are scared to initiate. The sign is supposed to puncture the anxiety cloud, but it doesn't always work.

    I hope you get all the hugs you want, even if you never find the "courage" to go in for one.
