Hello Lika
To answer your question - quite often.
I've bugged Fuzzybear (and others) for hugs quite often and shamelessly at that. I tend to nag if one of the replies to my post by Fuzzy do not include at least one hug.
Even if the hugs are virtual, to me a hug means reassurance, comfort, safety, lending and receiving strength from the other as need may be. It means I am not alone in this world that someone somewhere wants to understand, to help me shoulder my burdens and that is more than enough. It might only be a placebo effect but a much needed and a very welcome one.
Ask and you shall receive
I'm here and I'm listening. You are not alone in this. Everything is going to be alright, eventually.
Hope you feel better.
