Does hugging ever make you feel uncomfortable?

I only like my family and close friends hugging me. I don't like the patting on the back though, and I don't do that. I hate when I meet people for the first time and they hug me. When I was kid I wished my dad would have hugged me leaving me at school and instead of giving me kiss. So embarrassing it was in middle school.

Hello Mark98, The only way for me to make hugging not good is if I do not know the person or the person hugs way too long or touches me in the wrong way or wrong area. I do not pat people back that is usually a guy thing that they do. Ladies hug when they hug and I am hugger and enjoy hugs from my freinds and tells me they care. Thanks and have a great night Sincerley Unqiue16

I love hugs, and I love hugging my family as well as my close friends. lol...yeah, it might be a little weird to have someone pat your back while you were hugging them, but if that makes you comfortable go ahead and do it...unless the person your hugging doesn't want you to do that. No...hugging does not make me uncomfortable..they are the best!!

I won't find it awkward if i hug my closest buddies, especially when I miss them so much. It's my gesture of how much I missed them and they would do the same too. But there are times when I find it awkward when some acquaintances are the first ones to hug me. LOL. I just stand still.hehe.

I'm an introvert, so yes, hugging makes me feel quite uncomfortable, except for the very close family members, I generally try to avoid it. My friends know about this, and they usually joke when we meet and everybody's hugging, but not me. Co-workers and distant friends may try to hug me every now and then; I don't push back, but still, makes me feel odd.
