That's pretty much the question.
I'm starting to make friends. And I can usually do hugs from girls - don't like it but I do ok.
But I got like a 5 second half hug from a guy yesterday. He's a good friend who I have known for years. It was completely nice and innocent. But I didn't know how to refuse in the moment or how to explain now that hugs are usually really triggering.
I need to be asked before I'm touched for the most part. Especially with men. But I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
So i don't know if I should say something or not.
