I am a hugger with THIS T, but it was an impulse, when I overheard him offer a goodbye hug to the little boy client before me, he just sounded so sweet and caring, I was like, me too, me next! But if that hadn't happened? If it had been like for OP? I don't know. I DO know I would have lost out on what has become a really positive experience. Our hugs are usually very buddy-buddy, but sometimes they get emotional, like maybe one percent of the time.
