| Hugging |
| 10.27.05 (7:32 am) [edit] |

I grew up in a family where not a lot of affection was shown. I do remember getting good night kisses from my mom (3 each night, in fact -- one on each cheek and a peck on the lips), but other than that, there was never much hugging. I still find it awkward to hug people sometimes. I don't often initiate. It felt kind of awkward when aaron and I parted ways last night. But now I have a (very long) apron for my costume. I'm going to have to stitch it up. While we were walking around in a department store, we were looking at knives. I noticed a boxed set and started reading the contents. I did a double take when I read down to 5" boner. BWAHAHA AHAHA I couldn't stop laughing. Juvenile, I know. But who ever calls boning knives boners?! And this was printed on the box, so I quickly snapped a photo. But back to hugging. When I was at Thanksgiving dinner, someone was talking about a new work policy, which was hugging co-workers was not allowed. Of course, I'm thinking "why in the world would you be hugging your co-workers anyway? They're co-workers!" Meanwhile, everyone else thought the new rule was absurd. "If someone I've known a long time, and it's his birthday, of *course* I'm going to give him a hug!" "If someone needs comforting, I won't be able to help myself but hug them." So yeah, that's my hugging bit. And the P Man has *finally* removed me from his MSN list!!! :D I bet this is also an end to his phone calls, too!! HURRAH!!!! |

I think affection in a famliy is a must. My mom always told me she loved me every morning she dropped me off for school, even if i was mad at her and she would give me a kiss. My dad isn't that much into hugs but I still make sure that I give him one atleast once a week. I like your post. Thanks for sharing your insites to hugs.

I think showing affection is starting to happen a little more in my culture, but my friends and family who are around my age all experienced the same thing! Telling someone you love them? Out of the question! ;-)

I'm not really good in showing affections either...

Yeah, I don't know to be more affectionate...maybe start with a pet ;-) At least you wouldn't have to worry about being uncomfortable!
