When I was a kid I never really hugged with my parents, but then agian they didn't really hug much either.
They always wanted to kiss me though and that kind of felt strange to me.
It was only since I met some friends when I was 18 that I started to not be awkward to hug people. Now it's the most natural thing to do with al the acroyoga in my life.
Whenever I meet my parents I give them a super big hug :)
In my chinese culture, we are not the touchy-feely type. So it's so hard for me to hug people today. Although I'm trying to change this, I still get uncomfortable at times hugging people!
My parents aren’t huggers either so I force-hug my mum when I see her lol! Thank you for your comment
I found that when I grow up, rarely have a chance to hug my dad, because i am a girl and i always try to show that I grown up and independent, but I am wrong?
I think hugging people, especially your parents, is a very nice thing to do. It doesn't show you are dependent and hanging on to them, it's just a little act of love.
If you meet your father and you hug him with confidence and love, it will absolutely show that you have grown up.
