    My family is more into hand-shakes than hugs (except for my ISFp brother.) When my ENFp friend requests a hug, I usually give a half-hug. They're my specialty. I like to hug little kids because they're adorable and because it doesn't make them uncomfortable; they're used to it. Lately I've wanted to hug my INTp friend, but I stick to the handshake so I don't accidently give him or .

    Hugs... hmm. If it's someone I care about and the time is right, I enjoy a good hug.

    Today I hugged someone "goodbye" whom I'm not going to see again for a long time, and it was a very nice hug, if bittersweet....

    I really don't enjoy hugs of any sort. Not even those from significant others. Creepy.

    i looooooooooooooooooove hugs. how can people not?!
    well, okay, if it's like an extended family member/friend of the family and i'm expected to give the person a hug- especially during a greeting- then it's sort of forced and quick and awkward. But, like, with my friends I really like hugs. i'll just hug people randomly during a conversation if i'm feeling particularly close to the person. i also really like cuddling and sitting on people.

    I let other people hug me, but otherwise no. I don't like touching.

    This is how I am as well... you'll probably not ever see me with my arms outstretched, moving in for a hug [ha!] but if someone wants to hug me, I don't turn them down. Well, assuming they are someone I know/am not weary of touching in the first place.

    Sometimes my mind goes blank when I hug someone I don't know well, and I find myself later wondering if I seemed awkward or whatever because my mind was fuzzy. But if it's someone I really care about, a hug can mean a lot.

    but is it a dead fish hug? lol. Just kidding.. i know my SLI friend loves me, and her hugs, while she will initiate it (how cute) are sort of very weak pressure wise. I'm sure a romantic embrace is different. When I started the thread i was interested in the quality of the hug.

    No, dead fish hugs are creepy. I used to give them until once when I was 13 or so, someone pointed it out - it was a humiliating moment that caused me to improve my hugs forever [although I still cringe inwardly just thinking of it. PoLR hit?!]

    I would like to think I give good hugs, but that's for others to judge... I hope I do

    yeah i was totally kidding.. and yeah could have been a nasty polr hit. Fi carress, or Fi holding is experienced through my senses, maybe not the same way the other person experiences it. Sort of like sniffing zest from a fruit rind, or a subtle floral smell.

    i dont generally hug people as a greeting, unless i havn't seen them in a LOOOONG time. and even then, i let them start the hug. i dont see the point in hugging them sometimes, but i dont mind doing it anyway.

    i like hugs from significant others though....just really really long ones called cuddles are better. hugs are generally too short and that annoys me. by definition i guess they are short.

    i prefer to hold on for a while....


    hugging pets and babies, thats a different story. if its cute you pretty much want to hug it.

    lol, this is so me. Dead fish hugger, that is. I can't get over the awkwardness of it. I usually attempt to escape with a pat on the back. Is it odd I've never hugged my parents? Maybe that's where this aversion comes from..

    Yeah, I'm more a hug receiver than a hug giver, and then only with close friends/family. The worst is when someone that doesn't know me well tries to give me a hug while I'm offering a handshake then I pull it back and give them what I like to call a WTFhug, which is never satisfying.

    Is this the same INTp you talked about somewhere else? The guy who you maybe wanted to be more than a friend? Also I remember you saying something that he wants to be kicked (wtf ), rather than touched. Are these your own interpretations originating from socionics, or has he told you so (that he wants to be kicked etc.)?

    Despite everything, my suggestion is just do it, if you want to hug him, and see what happens.

    Just find a moment where you are private to test this, and don't do it in public, especially not in front of his family or friends. He won't hate you for it, worst that can happen is that he will cringe or try to dodge it. Just don't take personally it, if this happens.

    INTps are just full of bullshit about this. Don't trust everything they say, when they are trying to protect their insecurities.

    Yeah, he asked to be kicked. So I did, then an ISFp made me stop.
    I hugged him backstage. No reaction.

    Heh sounds kinda weird. But then again I used to randomly kick my sister in the butt when I was teenager And I don't hug her.

    I hugged him backstage. No reaction.
    I guess he didn't hate it then. He might secretly like it.
