You need to catch yourself thinking those negative things and switch it to.
"I AM a huggable person."
Keep chanting that until you believe it, especially when you're out there holding the sign.
Focus on being positive, and you wont even notice when the other signholders leave your side.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try that or something similar such as "I am worthy". Although I feel that alone won't do it, it can still help.
I'm also going to apply Kathie's The Work too to all of statements that come up and see what happens.
We've got another one coming up in a few weeks, so I've got a few weeks to prepare for it! This free hug stuff is a really wonderful way for my issues to come out in the open and force me to deal with them. I feel that when by dealing with my free hug issues, I'll be that much better to deal with my other social issues too.
Tonight, I saw one of the ladies who participated in the free hug thing and she was still so much on a high from all those hugs she can't wait to do the next one again!
