How Important Is A Hug?

Hugging or embracing your mother, your father, your siblings, and your friends is a normal thing, right? We often do it especially when we are apart for a quiet sometimes.

Hug, embrace, cuddle, clasp, or whatever you may call it is a way of showing affection to a person you love. It is a physical intimacy. Specifically, why do people do hugging their family and friends?

  • People do hug others because of joy. When you achieve something, all you have to do is to hug who is around you because of happiness.
  • People do hug when they missed each other. Missing someone is one of the keys why you do hugging them. It is the way of showing how you missed them. When you are away to your parents and you went home after a long period of time, all you have to do upon seeing them is to hug them tight.
  • A hug is a way of comforting your family or friend. When someone in the family is down, our way of comforting them is to tap their shoulders, give advice, or hug them. I, myself, felt relieved or felt good after I am embraced by my family or friends.
  • A hug is a stress reliever. A hug from your loved ones seems to be a stress cure. It will make you felt relax after being hugged.
  • A hug can also be a means of forgiving. When someone is asking for forgiveness, we sometimes give them a hug to tell him or her that he or she is forgiven.
  • A hug is an expression of love. Of course, if we love someone, we always like to hug him or her because we want to express how much we love him or her.

Those are some of the reason why we hug others. It is very important in everyone’s life since it will give good meaning and effect to us.

    • That Absolutely Right, But What In Terms Of Relationship? Situation Where Hug Is Given Frequently And Sequentially?

    • Hugs have a lot of different meanings just like you have shared. We can hug our families and friends with friendly Hugs, that's okay and it is allowed anywhere any time. But there is that affectionate hug that you will share with your spouse that is very different to the one that you will give a family member or just a friend. This is the gig where you will see two people hold each other close in a sense to communicate something. It's not just a hug it's a way of communi action between two loving people. And yes it's a stress reliever for sure because when your spouse holds you like that they are assuring you that everything is going to be alright, or better still they are telling you that they love you to the ends of the earth. Though I must say that there are some people who dont regard hugging as a way of affection they see it as an immoral thing. If maybe you have been you come from a village or a place where people are not civilized as such you may see a very cold reception towards you when they see you hug a family member. Am saying this because I remember when we hugged each other with my siblings when dad died, there were some villagers who said we were portraying bad manners in front of the other villagers simply because they did not know the meaning of it all. All we were doing was comforting one another something that the villagers did not know. So we took it upon ourselves and explained to them why were hugging each other and how comforting it is to do so. As time went by they understood it but they used to say that it was a "town" and not meant for the villagers. Anyway i do agree with you on this and it find it very useful and helpful in our daily lives. As for me i love hugging people and being hugged it's a wonderful feeling for sure.
