Where I live if someone gives you a hug it's from the heart.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Now, perfectly ordinary people will give each other hugs. I mean, it used to be that a hug was reserved for if you came back from Australia - you know, back in the '40s and '50s.
I'll put it out there: I love getting hugs.
I have no problem if someone wants to hug me - if I know him!
As I get older, people do come up to me just to give me a hug.
If I meet pals, we do hug each other, and it's very nice, you know... it's something that's come on me late and became second nature, and it's first nature now!
A hug is like a boomerang - you get it back right away.
I love hugging people. I still hug everybody in my meet-and-greet lines.
Hugs make you feel psychologically more secure and together.
I'm more the sort of person who doesn't like hugging strangers because we don't know each other, so we shouldn't.
You know, food is such - it's a hug for people.
