Mari,

I know a lot of introverts, and have hugged a few lately because I had not seen them in a long time. They do not like it, lol. Most hug back stiffly. Any many of my people will avoid hugs with strangers/new people.

I would not say I am an introvert, but I am not a huge hugger. I get pretty weirded out when someone I don't know tries to hug me (I will sometimes avoid) but I am ok between friends. And then there's people who just want to do it too damn often.
