I think the body language of hugs can mean so many things.

it’s all based on:

The way the receiver responds

how they take it in:

was it out of nowhere

consensual

unspoken

uncomfortable

overbearing

etc

the atmosphere

What is going on around you

relation/bond

platonic

empathy

mutualism

romantic

familial

Hand placement

Emotions

motivation for the hug

what’s the want/need

the person giving the hug

situation

goal

what is obtained after the embrace

Touch is something so special and a form of letting someone or something know that you feel safe and can be vulnerable with them. It’s something very sensory as our whole body reacts to. Humans needs at least 8-12 hugs a day as it’s a natural release for serotonin hormones through our bodies. The act of giving a hug releases that warm and cozy feeling we get from a hug. On our arms right by the elbow, sitting on the inward part of the forearm is the gland. When pressure is applied through the act of enveloping someone in an embrace it releases serotonin through our system and to our brains.

It can’t be done with a self hug or through inanimate objects because it needs another warm body. Hugging a furry friend helps too.

Sorry for my lil analysis of hugs. This is just my perceived definition of hugs. I hold a lot of value to hugs as for me it’s how my brain can understand someone’s genuine feelings/security to knowing someone cares.

What is

Love?

There’s many types of love, from the material, to the ideological and of course; the interpersonal.

Love is universal, undefinable, passionate, complicated, powerful;

Love is… well it’s love.

Love is just as old if not older than life if you believe in something before existence.

Love is when you feel the most you when your comfortable and safe to be yourself and vulnerable with your emotions. Love is safety and security, love goes past physical bonds and envelops the intangible, philosophical aspects. Chemical and so on!

My purpose for this was from a post from an individual who has been current buzz lately.

She made a (I use this loosely) “list” of her perceived opinionated viewpoint of what is a hug… why’d you make it weird, Lily…

A post was made as their response to the style of “writing” they do for couples they write. Specifically with how hugs “work”

If I even do a post as I’ve done before, it is in response to their blatant spread of disregard, misinformation and knowledge of subjects that I hold high regard and respect for as its topics in regards to my current study in college. I’ve been doing my best to keep up by getting informed from better qualified critics who cover her.

Remember, you shouldn’t go too far in the rabbit hole and return to the surface before you go past the point of no return.
