    When was the last time you had a hug? Other than my children, it's been just shy of a year. I know this post is pointless, I've just been doing some thinking lately. I have my children every other week, on the weeks they are away, I don't talk to anyone. I feel lonely, but I'm not good at meeting people or making friends.

    Join some groups in your area, based on your interests. There are people who love to hug and in many of these groups you'll get a big hug "Hello" and a big hug "Goodbye" from everybody in the group.

    Too much hugging can be a problem too. Especially if it's insincere and done only for show or because everyone else is doing it in a particular group or at an event. I've experienced scenes like that. Can leave you feeling drained.

    I already know many good people. I was just making a general point that too much hugging can be inappropriate, for want of a better word.

    I'm not much of a hugging person. I used to have a friend who always hugged me but now she's off to university. I still miss her every day. Now, the only hugs I get besides that are from my mom and she does it quite often.

    not counting my partner? probably about a month. I have a hugging acquaintance, we don't know or like each other very much, but we always meet in the company of mutual friends and are forced to share awkward hugs on departing.

    Singlefather, don't discount those hugs from children. Those hugs are honest.

    Had several hugs today. A friend was taking care of me after I was coming out of anesthesia for an endoscopy. He says I was crying and kept telling him that I hate hospitals (but then they gave me an apple nutri-grain bar and cranberry juice and I was evidently REALLY happy about that).

    The last time I went in for a major test I was alone and could have used a hug. I'm glad I got one today.

    yes that's really the wonderful thing. whatever else, all the drama and nonsense to the contrary, the openness makes it worth while.

    I had one a few weeks ago from someone I've loved for almost 10 years. I didn't realize it at the time but it may have been the last one. My choice but I'm glad I didn't figure it out before that hug.
