Oh god, this thread is right down s_k's alley.
Only person I hug is my brother. I only see him once every month or two and I always give him a bro hug when I leave. I don't hug my friends, I'm fine with one of those handshakes where you grab hands and kinda bump shoulders, you know what I mean. I don't think hugging has anything to do with emotional health, I don't really find it heartwarming or anything. Some people are more touchy-feely than others and I am totally fine with not being one of those people. Seems like most people I've been around are the same way. I don't really think there's a negative attitude towards people who hug, I couldn't care less what someone else does, but for me it's just a little too close.
