Default How to overcome my hesitation in hugging "strangers" in the "Free Hugs"?

[mod: This thread was started a year ago, the problem has been overcome]

Ok, there's a group in my city that goes out and each month, they hold that "Free Hug" sign. And then they hug people. It's based on this video: YouTube - Free Hugs Campaign - Official Page (music by Sick Puppies.net )

They've done this a few times, and each time I want to go, but I'm holding myself back somehow. I even went once a few months ago, had a sign, and then when it was time to walk to the area, I just left, I couldn't do it, felt extremely uncomfortable or so .

It's something I'm very interested in doing, and it's important to me to overcome this and be able to connect with people I've never met before with a hug in a total loving/caring/happy manner. Any tips, feedback, analysis, criticism, suggestions?
