A hug is a source of comfort and makes one feel loved. Sometimes it helps to know someone cares enough to embrace you. It always makes me feel better After my bad car accident, when a friend would give me a hug, it made all the difference in the world, I felt cared for and really loved!

yeah, hugging can really be amazing. I read an article about this in some parenting magazine and studies have shown that it can actually relieve pain of those who are sick. Imagine that?!! That's why i decided to post this question to ask people what their insights are. Thanks for your response! :)

hugging makes the people feel secure. Its an act where you can feel warmly love and secure at all times.

Yeah that is how we are made up like. The warmth of body has healing ability, it has been proved scientifically, the children that grow with their mother's warmth have better health compared the their counterparts. The hormone stimulation that happens during hugging might be very helpful I think.

When somebody hugs me, i feel secure and comforted. It somehow relaxes my tired mind. But of course, i like people that i love to hug me, not just strangers! :)
