Hug or not to hug

I’m so happy that I don’t have to hug or do that kissy, kissy thing anymore. I always hated it but people hug you even when you don’t reciprocate and short of shoving them away it’s hard to know what to do about it.

I stopped going to church when they introduced that awful “exchange a sign of peace”. I might venture in again if I don’t have to grapple with people.

I agree 100%

I havnt missed the hugging habit, have never been comfortable with hugging those whom I hardly know, but if my dh hugs one partner first I can’t avoid the inevitable hug with the husband. Would really rather not.
On the other hand good friends and family is quite another matter. I love a good hug, just not with all and sundry and hope things change post Covid.

Dont do anything you arent comfortable with.
