did your parents not hug you enough?

    on a serious note, yes..........I did for a long time.......I wanted approval from my husbands parents. I felt like I wanted to do everything right as a wife for their son. Now........EFF THEM!!

    not like hugs?! i LOVE hugs! and seriously, my mother did not hug me enough as a child. :o hahaha. i was a very affectionate/needy kid...and used to ask for more hugs....and she'd say no....she thought i was 'stalling' to postpone going to bed. :( and maybe i was. i don't know. now it's a 'joke' in my family....b/c i used to ask for 22 hugs and kisses before bed. why 22? i think b/c my bday is on the 22nd. and mom said no. thank bejeebus dad didn't...otherwise perhaps i too would suffer from apporval addiction. ;) haha. however, my mom is fantastic - just not ever affectionate. anyhooo...i get plenty of hugs...i am STILL a very affecitonate person....and now i hope i didn't hug you when i met you cbg. :p

    I read a book about it....

    I tried out some of the suggestions and it did not work on this particular manipulative person, unfortunately...

    and they feel soooooooooo good when truly meant! :D






    and i love to give compliments.....but not BS compliments. i compliment people often, but when i do...i truly mean it. i am not about the 'oh let's all BS and make the world shiny and happy all-are-beautiful' crap. :p but i will definitely compliment people on the tangibles and in tangibles....and i think people are often surprised. too many don't share their good thoughts often enough.


    and yes....hugs are awesome!

    it was great to finally give you a hug at the MSG pre party, was a long time coming!! :)

    same here. it is funny to see people get taken aback when you compliment them....especially if it's a total stranger. it's a great feeling to see a smile come out of nowhere, like finding some pretty flower along the road.

    yes i did!
    hahahahahaha.



    and see, that's the thing - that IS my usual reaction to meeting/seeing friends i adore! (well not the boob thing, but ya know...they were just there....so.....) i am thinking tho that somehow i managed not to hug cbg, perhaps b/c i met her and zoso simultaneously, and i really didn't know him too well to be hugging him .:p




    chica - yes it was!
    i think our first meeting out in vancouver was such a drive-by meeting, no hug! so definitely was long overdue! i am a notorious hugger, especially at shows! :)


    guess i am making up for lost time. so sure, fuck approval addiction......i just want to hug everyone! haha.

    amen! :D

    oh yes that's true about vancouver, that was such a rushed thing i got thrown off my hug meter or something lol i'm very affectionate by nature and always hug family and friends when i see them and when i say goodbye. it'd feel strange not to!
  • KushikushunKushikushun Posts: 1,263
    Not a lack of hugging over here, but yes I avoid conflicts when I can.
    However, it is getting better and I've def. learned to say no these days.

    And I love giving ppl compliments and hugs! There is no greater pleasure than giving...

    p.s. Even give ppl anti-compliments if that's what they wish for..... :D
    Why not be mediocre and be the best at it that you can be?
