Good for you Spirit, but only because you WANT to do this. There are many of us out here in the world who DON'T want strangers hugging us, and being a "hugger" doesn't make you a better person than the "non hugger." I truly don't think it has anything to do with "worthiness."

This all reminds me of when I owned a new age bookstore and there would always be the guys at seminars who would want to hug the pretty girls to cop a feel. You know who you are!

I'm sort of kidding, but not. It's really ok to not be a hugger, but I imagine hugging is like anything else. The more you do it, the eaiser it will be, and it's probably an easy thing to change about yourself if thats the road you want to go down.

As a non hugger I've also noticed that when strangers hug me they are the ones doing the hugging. A lot of becoming a hugger has to do with learning to hug back! I've also found if I hug back the hug is more tolerable.

Good luck with this Sprirt! You'll become a great hugger if you want to!
