I've never been the type of person to hug every individual. Most of the comfort I recieve is through eye contact or word usage, yet I know what's missing...I need to be comforted physically. How can I go about hugging the ones I care about without doubting myself?
Also, what makes for a good hug?
orphans answered Tuesday January 8 2008, 4:57 pm: Hugs are amazing, all hugs are good :-) but if you want a really good hug, usually wait for the right moment with your friends, when you just feel like so happy and lovin life lol! Just give your friends a hug...also, if you really need a hug, go up to one of your friends, and start a i guess you can say "mini" conversation...right like after a while when you or he/she ends their sentence, just say: "i need a hug" (when i type it out for you it sounds cheesy, but you have to say it the right way) Or I guess you could have one of those I-am-so-glad-you-are-here-to-support-me-and-im-glad-your-my-friend kind of moment, and just give them a hug. I really hoped i helped...every deserves a hug! GoOd LuCk!!! [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
orphans answered Tuesday January 8 2008, 4:54 pm: There really is not a right way to hug someone, you just wrap your arms around their neck, or waist (which ever is more comfortable for you) and it's pretty much just natural after that, some people like squeezes, strong embraces, or soft holds, but you'll figure that out as you go aong, no one will judge you on how good your hug is, trust me :] And for the doubting yourself, just don't think about it because most likely the other person you are interacting with won't be thinking about it either. Just be happy and be yourself :]

I don't know what you doubt about yourself, but if it's just about touching somebody else, don't think about it. All it takes is a quick hug if it's for saying hi, but if it is to sombody you love, then it needs to be a few seconds longer (same for comforting somebody).

There's no real definition of hugging that applies to each and every hug. It differs from person to person. Say you are hugging someone of the opposite sex that you are attracted too, you would hug them close and tenderly. If you were hugging someone that is just a close friend, it wouldn't be as close but it would still be heart-felt.
You should never doubt yourself. You are learning your individual tastes and sometimes you find out things about yourself that you never knew before. When you do something, and if it feels right, and is at the right time, there is no reason to doubt.
