Six seconds at least, a hug should last to has a therapeutical effect on you.
Am I the only person here who get upset when someone give me a hug?

I would really like to go here and there giving hugs but it's something I find very hard and I feel very uncomfortable when someone gives or pretend to give me a hug.
Perhaps, it's bc my mother express her affection mainly verbally and I learnt to do it exactilly in the same way.

My kids give me hugs very often and I think I'm getting used to it but I still feel quite uncomfortable and try that the hug last as less as possible.
