I cannot hug with tapatalk. But type in the hug code. It's a way of displaying support for a poster. I certainly am hands off irl. A virtual community isn't able to display body language nor facial expressions that denote empathy. Perhaps :empathy: would explain the meaning better?

I keep coming back to this thread trying to figure out what I want to say. I'm just going to jump in.
I give hugs in the "real" world. Been told I give "good hugs", BUT I respect that there are some folks who do not want to be touched/hugged. Here in the virtual world there's no body language to read to know if someone is open to being hugged. It complicates things. I would certainly never hug someone who stated they did not want to be hugged. That is as rude in the virtual world as it would be in 3D. But how are we supposed to know that? As others have pointed out, I some times use the hug button when I either am not in a place myself to type out a reply or just can't find the words to offer support. Personally, I like getting hugs. I live alone and rarely receive hugs in the "real" world. I appreciate them here. BUT that's me. I realize that others might feel the same way. |

What's up with all the thanking? It's creeping me out. Is there any way to disable it? Thanks...

Sometimes I leave a hug just to let people know I read their post and I care, they are valued, I am thinking of them.
I don't always have words to help. Just like IRL. If I've offended anyone then I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. |

 . Seriously, anyone who gets freaked out by receiving a virtual "hug" on a mental health support site NEEDS a hug...

   I'm afraid I drank the kool-aid and after reading so many dry and droll responses from people who don't like it, I might have to rethink my "cult" membership.

I use the "Thank you" button to say that I relate to their post and it resonates with me. I use the "hug" button when I have nothing to say that can help them but feel bad for their plight and to show I care.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
