I'm usually really hesitant to give a hug- worrying it will not be welcome, so I try to ask first. When someone hugs me I'm flattered, lol, kinda comes as a surprise that they would actually want to hug me. The older I get the more comfortable I am with it. And I do know I'm lovin these hug buttons on PC, lol.
