Hello,
Wow that’s so interesting but kinda scary lol. Me being a very shy person, etc I would freak out if a stranger gave me a hug. Now would I be a jerk and call the police etc well no (based on culture) . I have some close friends and rarely ever do they get a frontal hug. It’s more to the side and more formal for me.
Family though I’m obvious more open with (except
My younger not so sane brother). It’s a neat custom but I would have to slowly get use to it. When I was back in England where I use to live strangers would hug the side kinda but do a kiss on each check. That drove me nuts the first 6 months of my study abroad. I learned it lol but again I’m not by any way a mean person or snub etc, just, been raised a tad differently. My mum thinks frontal hugs are reserved for married people only, my dad thinks it’s rubbish. I have always kept (what tiny experience I do have) public display of affection at a very minimum. Lol holding hands is about my extent, and that’s not even often.
But I do love all people I’m just well shy and introverted until I’m comfy w others.’
