    Some of us are very physical- saying hello with a hug or handshake, putting your arm around someone you like as you walk together, while others aren't as touchy feely, and show that they care in other ways like just the time spent together, supportive words, making things, helpful actions etc

    Online I might leave a hug or heart emoji to express what I'm feeling inside, but offline I actually feel uncomfortable when people put their hands on me, even long-time friends and family. If you do it, I'll try to return the gesture, but please don't do it too often. Haldir down there kinda sums me up.

    Are you more hands on, or do you show your feelings differently?
     
    I'm definitely less hands on. My family was always a less touch-y and word-y one and that's what I ended up getting used to - there aren't many hugs/kisses, 'I love you's, etc. There's nothing wrong with that since that doesn't mean we don't care about each other; it's just what we're used to. I'm more than happy to hug friends goodbye and the like, shake hands etc, but it's not something I go out of my way to do. Usually they'd need to initiate and I would happily oblige lol.
     
    I'm only comfortable with hugging a select few. (My mom, brother, etc). I don't like it being initiated randomly. My uncle gets drunk and will force hugs.

    I've admittedly initiated hugs when meeting people because it can potentially cut out awkwardness. Usually family I haven't seen in a long time. It can also backfire.

    I'd much rather just shake hands 90% of the time.

    Yeah I'm the same way. Never liked physical contact much. Like, when mom goes for the occasional hug I'll do it because rejecting it would be a hassle and it's only once in a blue moon, but still. I don't even care for handshakes really.
     
    I'm not the most physically affectionate. Not that I hate being hugged or held, it can help. Just not too much.
    I never shake hands anymore, though.
     
    I'm very physically affectionate to my fiance. For my family, we do hug and all.

    Outside of that, I hate being touched. I don't know why. If someone wants a hug, I'll give it to them. But I don't like it when it is forced.
     
    Family yes hugs all round!

    Colleagues and other people i know i high five shake hands no hugs tho.

    And strangers 0 touching not comfortable at all.
     
    I am so and so honestly. I think that someone has to be very close for me to actually enjoy hugs and stuff. I Will Say that with some strangers, even the cheeck kiss feels a bit strange.
    I like hugs and all and i often like the ones given to my parents or close people. But there are some spots where i feel uncomfortable to be touched.
     
    I like hugs! I think it's kinda weird when someone I don't know that well is very physical but I generally don't have a huge aversion to touch, especially if it's like a quick greeting.

    I also grew up in a family that wasn't very affectionate but I think as an adult I hug my parents more than I used to, especially if I haven't seen them in a while. I don't have that much to say to them so it's a good way to show some affection.

    I think couples' PDA is very tacky and gross so I will not do more than hold hands with my boyfriend in public, but at home we are very comfortable with each other as well.
