So there is this thing about minimal hugs someone needs... At least 4 preferably 8 or more. [1]

Assuming you like hugs, how many a day are you getting?

To clarify, I don't think how, when or if you want hugs makes anyone weird. While there is research showing benefits of touch and compression, that as a cultural concept it can communicate care and affection, in the end it is personal and complicated.

I dont object to people medicating for it if needed; your body, your choice. But I do wish people to stay safe. Pushing drugs, medication or hugs on people is never ok I think. Pushing anything on anyone for that matter.

I do like hugs.
