Mine reached out to me when I was really upset but because I startle easily and don't like sudden touch I instinctively and very quickly backed away, which freaked us both out. I think if I had been more prepared a part of me would have appreciated a hug but it was just a habitual reaction and tbh another part of me is worried about getting too close to her because of my feelings towards her so I have not asked for hugs.
