I would grimice and pull away when she hugs you and then say 'can you not hug me, please?' then say 'it's not personal - i'm just not a very huggy person'.

She probably will try and make you feel bad / shame you for not being happy to see her. It is the way of the world, I'm afraid... The introverted people have to skulk around corridors and hide from the grown up 'bullies' much of the time...

People like this make me very uncomfortable. They used to make me angry. Why can't they tell that I'm not enjoying this? Why can't they tell? Only... It isn't for my benefit (of course) it is for theirs. It isn't that I have an empathy deficit... It is that they do... Running around grabbing at people, sheesh...

For a period of time... It was a fashionable thing for my friends to put their hands on each others shoulders and to the european kiss on each cheek thing. It make me feel very uncomfortable, indeed. But it was done in a ... Formal kind of way. Hard to describe / explain. I never found the courage to say that I didn't feel comfortable with that... But I would now. If people don't care enough to respect your feelings on that with good grace then you have learned something very valuable about them, indeed. You know to steer clear for sure.
