I hate that hugs are measured. I don't see anything positive about counting hugs. Just my opinion.

I am a hugger... , A virtual huggin' machine.

I don't really care tho, I think the counter thingy is silly, but I am not gonna let that stop me from giving someone a hug, I obviously can't help myself from hugging anyways. And some people don't hug, but I don't think it says anything about them either. Maybe the hug counter lets people who don't like hugs stay away from the huggers

Never can hug too much Blue or BipolaRnurse, But sometimes I wonder if the person will be like..eww gross don't hug me, or creeped out , I know some people don't like hugs. I like virtual hugs, but in real life I don't so much like hugs from people I don't know really well.

My bf's friends are all huggers, you should see how still and awkward I get. I wish I was more ok with the hugs.

Hey there, Anika! Great running into you on the Forums ... Just like the old days!
And I just "hugged" you with the Hug Button, so my Hug Counter goes up--which ought to put everyone at ease who thinks they hug too much

When I just say, "Anika!", that hug doesn't count on the Hug Counter. It is what it is, not up for discussion, so use it or ignore it like the Smileys.

Me, I'm theatre, so I revel in all of it! * hugs galore *

Anika, all guys are huggers when girls are involved
You should tell your bf it makes u feel awkward.
His friends seem kinda odd, with the friends I've had all my life, we never hug any one else's gf.

geezz... I guess I am a creep to some then... (Sorry Venus)

Idk, some times hugs are ok I think-- Some times it is due to, well like the other day there was a poster and they seemed rather angry, and yeah I could had taken quiet offense to what they wrote back, but a second of a stop on my part to realize -- this person is probably struggling.. The hug is not make them more mad (though I can see how that would be for some) but to be like, sorry your taking this so harshly hope you the best... other times it is due to I do have sympathy for people, struggles are struggles and even with success there was struggle to get that success....

I am with Anika though; in real life-- hugging.. it is hard to do with others-- At one point I could do it with friends (but i was heavily drugged on my own with all that) now days, ugh.. almost like reverting back... My S/O though-- he can hug me as long as I am not grumpy or mad

I don't really like the counter though but I remember when the hug button came about

http://forums.psychcentral.com/showt...+Button&page=8

I guess some really don't like it... I don't see things as a race-- and to be honest there is not a thank you count .... so why a hug count? but whatever.. I am glad there is a hug button... some times it does help others (and at times I am one of those that it is nice to see a hug even if not many reply-- at least someone read it, and some care a little, ya know?)

I try to remember that you don't like hugs Venus, I think I usually just give you thanks.. but I found this ..When did they start keeping track of hugs? Hmm I am thinking this probably isn't in our list of smilies for a reason. I think I'll get in trouble if I use that... gonna have to settle for ... raining untainted vodka down on you instead. That's what I am sending you from now on!

There must be a bug - I gave you a hug on another thread and it does not show. With your number of posts, it is hard to believe that you would not get many hugs. So something is wrong. I would have filed a bug but since you see no value in hugs counting, I am not going to bother .
Thanks for this!
