Never understood the problem people have with hugs…

Everyone has a different level of physical touch they desire and a level that they are comfortable with.

I honestly lament that the hugging culture in my wider social circle has probably permanently gone away (if that social circle ever really recovers, considering it was built around small venue music and art).

The permanent loss of warmth in my life is very noticeable.

That is a pretty rude comment. What is this person foisting on other people?

Hugs are great! But, where dudes can be creepy with a handshake, a hug is much more vulnerable. Hugs are for trusted friends.
