Now me being a hugger , as well as, ignorant about folks and their ways, I just cain t understand anyone not wanting a hug from somebody that they love and whom loves them. I guess that's bout all I got to say bout it , sept maybe if your a hugger take em when you can and if your not a hugger. The question of a hugs worth is more difficult to answer than it may seem at first. The more I thought about this months topic the more difficult it became to answer. We all have needs and we often express those needs non-verbally.
Hugs are a part of non-verbal communication.
Through non-verbal communication others feel our joy or our sadness. The need to share emotions, at least to me, is an integral part of who and what I am. I have had hugs that were priceless, and hugs that were worthless. The worth depended on where we both were, emotionally, at the time. Many times in my life I have distanced myself from the people around me in an attempt to prevent the hurt that comes with saying good-bye.
