Yes, as long as they're from my girlfriend, a close friend, or a family member. Otherwise, it's a bit weird.
I love hugs. I've never really been bothered by a hug.
Has that ever happened?I wouldn't want some random stranger coming up and hugging me
I only like them from people I know. Strangers beware.
I get weirded out people you don't know are all trying to hug me. I'm not trying to be rude, first contact can be a hello or a handshake. Both will suffice.This is the same here. I like getting hugs from people that I am very close to instead of any other person around me.
Agreed. The only time I'd hug a stranger is if they were in distress and were okay with me giving them a hug.I get weirded out people you don't know are all trying to hug me. I'm not trying to be rude, first contact can be a hello or a handshake. Both will suffice.

Even when random old ladies try to hug me at work for helping them![]()

Take a step back, hold out my hand for a shake. It's uncomfortable.What do you do to strangers who want to hug you?
Lol, yeah old ladies love to hug! Even during the pandemic. They'll risk their lives to give you a hug.
Sometimes I get weirded out just doing a handshake. I don't want to touch their hands![]()

Then a hello will be just fine for me after reading this.I rarely do handshakes anymore. It's a great way to spread diseases and a lot of people don't wash their hands. The last person who shook my hand left a wart on it that I had to cut and burn off.
