I'm not sure you need to tell boss you are intimidated. That gives him even more power. You just want to make your wants/needs known, in this case - no hugs. His comments that you described as being upset or taking things personally are completely inappropriate for a work environment and are most likely manipulations, not true upsetness (which I don't think is a word, but should be).

It was not my intention to tell you not to call your T, though I do get how you came to that conclusion. I'm more of a nothing ventured, nothing gained person, but respect that not everyone is.

Please do keep posting. And it's my opinion that those weird things do happen together to give me a message, tho I don't always understand what the message is or what I'm supposed to do with the information.
