So I was thinking the other day
(or today after such related event transpired...more on that later)
about why we hug each other.
I mean, I understand the basics. My mom taught me those.
You love someone, you hug them.
You say sorry, you hug them.
You see someone you know is sad, you hug them.
Easy.
But I never learned the "I see you on campus now, I never see you otherwise, so I should hug you" rule.
I'll be honest. I've even been guilty myself of this one.
But why? I don't know.
I mean, I'm not touchy feel-y. And, I know that. Jeez, my poor husband knows that.
But I do enjoy a snuggle or two. Or a good hug that is needed from someone I know.
But today, when that random reached in for the hug as they said the cheery "heeeeeey!" I knew I was not a fan.
And then, it was the double hug with the "see ya later hug" at the end.
No bueno.
I don't really think I'm rude. I just think I'm normal.
When did it become normal to hug anyone and everyone when you see them?
Not my cup of tea.
No to "heeeey hugs"
No to "see ya later hugs"
No to "I knew you in high school and randomly just ran into you hugs"
No thanks.
(and to all those I do love, I will still hug you. Yes I will)
This made me laugh so hard. Someone {that I wasn't even really friends with in high school but went to high school with} came up to me and gave me hug and acted like my BFF and it was so weird... It is very uncomfortable and I am not touchy feely either lol.
ReplyDeletei never understood the huggy thing. i always thought i was a non-huggy person, but i guess i'm just normal!
ReplyDeleteyou know, i'm with you. i havent seen you in ages, but i still dont think we'd need to hug. :) not that i dont like you, kaylee, i really do, but i guess i'm not much of a hugger either.
