I don't believe it is a bipolar thing, more anxiety related. I'm not completely comfortable with it but it depends on who it is and in the last ten years I have tried to become more comfortable with it as my ailing mother felt the need for a hug when I would visit. I've learned that they can be very good for showing and getting support.

I found it took practice for me to become comfortable with hugging, but it was worth it.
