I wanted to ask other people here in mylot about this. I think I love to get and give hugs. Another mylotter had started a discussion about kisses so it made me think of hugs. I like hugs almost better than a kiss. So how many hugs do you get or give in a day? For me I say I try to do at least one hug a day and I think I am going to start giving more hugs because they feel good. :) Let me know mylot peeps?

Usually, i give about two hugs a day, depending on how many people there are. When my neice arrives, that is a hug. A hug for my sister.

Of course, yes, when we go to visit, there are hugs. Also, when friends arrive, there are hugs. Lots of hugs.

Do you hug your friends too? You know I think if more people gave out hugs I really believe the world would be a better place as a whole. I am gonna start giving more hugs everyday and see how many I can give in one day. Thanks for taking the time to respond and happy mylotting to you.

I never experienced having a hugs for everyday of my life. I only experience hugs from my friend when we have a date. Hugs when we met and hugs when we leave each other. I only received hugs from my mother when I already given out our budget in the house from my salary. A hugs from my siblings if they want to something for me to buy for them and even from my father. I don't received a hugs everyday, but that don't mean I am sad. For it is fine, if they did not want to hug me, then I'll be the one to hug them when I go home later hahaahahahaha. In our family, we are not expressive in action like, kissing and hugging, sometimes we do not say it in words, but I know we are always there for each other and we love one another.

I probably get about between 4 and 6 aday all from my precious three year old granddaughter. Thoses are the best hugs ever, because they are coming from innocence and unconditional love.

That is so true....the unconditional love that children give is so precious. My 7 year old daughter even hugs me when she is angry with me and she tells me that she loves me even though I am being a mean mommy.

I get countless of hugs in a day, mostly from my hubby. I am far from my family and close friends. I just moved to the US, so I'm still gaining new friends to add into my circle. I miss the big hugs from real friends and family members. I miss my old lifestyle, which was usually being on-the-go. Now, it's the other way, laidback.

None! This is a real shame, I've not experienced a hug in years! Well, I do live alone anyhow and I lost my family many years back. I live the single life and I wouldn't change this for the world but there are obvious consequences of choosing this way of life i.e. no hugs!! I have a huge teddy bear that was giving to me as a child but hey, I've ventured into adulthood now! I'm not going to admit whether I grab that teddy bear from time to time and give it a hug!!!! So, no hugs but a whole lot of contacts on My Lot!! Andrew

I like hugs, too and yes they do feel good, especially from a big strong man, but then that's a different topic! I get most of my hugs from my daughter and other children and each one is very special. I do get at least one or two hugs a day but I do think it would be nice to give more hugs because people do need that comfort.

Today I have none hug, I live with my workmates, not with my family. But I really like hugs. Also the same with my wife, she likes the feeling in my arms, she said it let her feel comfortable and safty. For me, I feel I am more strength than before, and feel more responsibilities on my shoulder. I like this feeling. happy mylot!

I agree hugs can be very amazing. However, it all depends on who you are giving the hug too. If they are full of negative energy, the hug can actually turn out to be a bad experience. If they are full of good energy and are fun people, the hug can be one of the best parts of the day! Typically I would say that I give 1 to 2 hugs a day, but that number fluctuates greatly. Keep the hugs coming!

I'm blessed.. I get them a good 10-20 times a day, from my daughter and from my friends. I LOVE it! Free Hugs Day has to be one of my favorite things in the world :)
