Bear hugs: Giver, reciever, regularly? Hate hugs? More of a back patter? Wat do you think of hugz?

Hugs are nice. I mostly like hugs. I don't go out seeking them. I don't like a stranger patting my back. I like hugging my new dog.

Hugs are great! Love 'em. Love giving them. Love receiving.

Unfortunately I'm super self-conscious and awkward so I don't really give them out often because I'm thinking "oh what if this person is weird about personal space" or "Man no one wants a hug from someone like me", and I am also a really big guy (about the size of a doorway or a small bear haha) so I don't think people really feel comfortable being the initiator, either.

Oh, if only they knew! Hugs for days!

Don't like back pats, though. They seem very superficial or overly sympathetic, like someone who doesn't know you well enough is like "Hang in there, champ". Just give me a hug!

A hug can have so may different meanings! Sometimes the best thing you can do for another person is to give them a hug. And let's not forget greeting each other with a hug, that one's really good too!

Big fan. Probably hug my gf 20 times a day. Try to hug my cat, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't understand wtf I'm doing.

Big fan. It's a renewable source of joy.

I like it depending on who it’s from. Most people I would prefer to shake hands with, though.

Humans: No, just... no. I tolerate them for the most part. All kinds of awkward for me really. I'll receive hugs but will very rarely initiate them. Dunno, just not a touchy feely person with the vast majority of people. Most people love'em, power of hugs to the lot of you that do. Enjoy a hugfest!

Animals: Hugs all around! Hugs for days!

*Virtual hugs for all* ...because there's no actual physical contact involved. lol
