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?
sometimes if you just make your body face them as you walk by they'll corner you and grab you before you can change your mind.

that happened in amsterdam to a friend. we just walked by talking and laughing and looked at the guy and said 'hey they have it in europe too!" and he just grabbed her hehe
