Here its normal for friends to hug their female friends. But I really have problems with letting people (even friends) close to me. I got used to getting hugged the past few years but I still dislike it (especally since my ex dumped me).


When I decline someones hug, it seems very rude. I cant tell them my whole story and why I hate it. If you just go to a friend you used to hug for a long time and suddenly tell them you don't want it, they start being mad on me.

Has anyone else made such experience? How did you dealt with it?
