  • I don't think it matters.. My elder family members are dead. At least you can hug them.

  • You'll miss those hugs when they're gone

  • I feel like I can't fully hug them. Like they will break in your arms or something. So I can see why. I don't know why you're getting so many trolls and assholes.

  • Totally get what you're saying. I like real hugs if I'm going to get or give one. Not some awkwardly light embrace where they kind of pat you on the back. I always feel I really can't hug old people because they'll just crumble in my arms if I ever really DID hug them.

  • It's a natural reaction, don't worry about it. The human brain is afraid of death, and what represents death better than old people?

  • I often feel like I will hurt them when I hug them. Like they're so fragile that I'll hug them too hard.

  • My mom always got mad at me because I never wanted to hug or shake hands with my greatgrandfather, but it is not my fault that he never washed his hands, never took baths and always pee'd in his pants. I know it wasn't very nice of me either, but I couldn't help it. It was gross D:
