I made somebody feel very uncomfortable once. A friend came from behind me and gave me a big hug. I didn't feel much like being a huggy type of person and quickly reacted pushing her back. Everybody tought I was a *****. I am not, but I have my space and don't you dare invade it, unless I invite you to.

If it makes you uncomfortable to think about somebody hugging you while you are crying, so be it, that is how you are. There are many other ways to deal with emotions, maybe it is just a matter of finding the way of dealing with them that works for you. So, just keep on looking.
