[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 243279"] This is SO me. I am not a huggy person. With the exception of my kids or the hug I would LIKE to get from husband. But as far as friends, other family or aquaintances - stay away. I have a friend who is a huggy person. My best friend. She would end up cornering me and laugh at me. I am just not a hugger. I also notice myself, at work or other places, when a boss or co-worker or anyone actually, gets to close to me I take a step back. I need my space, my comfort zone. I was blown away when difficult child was in middle school. I would go into school at passing time and everyone runs up and hugs everyone. difficult child was on the recieving end of many hugs. I asked him if that bothers him, he said no. He thinks I am goofy that I don't hug. My parents, family, growing up never hugged. Never ever said "I love you". I heard my mother once say they don't need to say it, it is just "understood". I have no complaints of my childhood, better than most people I know. Just was not an openly affectionate family. I always wondered if that was why I cannot hug people. I may not hug you, but I do care deeply about friends. As far as boss's and aquaintances...give me my space. Don't get too close when speaking to me. I am visibly uncomfortable. I am glad you posted this. I thought I was just the weird one. [/QUOTE]
