6 Types Of Hugs And What They Actually Mean

Hugs are the truest form of giving and receiving! Did you know that the way we hug someone can mean a lot of things? Body language reveals what we may not directly express. This is often the case in regards to the way we make eye contact, our standing posture, and how we choose to walk. But, what does body language say from the way you hug others?

“Have you ever experienced one of these types of hugs? How did it feel?”

*a tear trickles down my face*

[basic]

ya missed the most important hug of all:

THE AUNT HUG
Definition: A hug given by an aunt and usually is able to break your spine from the sheer strength of the hug. These hugs usually occur at a family reunion, Christmas, or any other event that is cheerful.

New hug unlocked!

The busy hug: a hug that lasts about as long as it takes for you to notice it's happening. By the time you react, they've already left the room or continued doing what they were doing

The Long Hug is the Hug everyone wants, but it's hard to have.

[mollsyxo]

The flirty hug:
A regular hug that I’m pretty sure every friend does with each other when they hug.

No one:

Psych2go knowing that a fandom was summoned: - casually sips tea -

One time when I was feeling depressed a friend of mine told me about the effects of a long hug. We then proceeded to hug each other tight and both counted to 20, loudly together. It was a beautiful moment and I will cherish it forever. ❤️

you forgot the dad hug
the dad hug:
A hug from a father figure that breaks all your bones, makes you loose breath, and has you coughing for air afterwards. Normally accompanied by a pat on the back once the process is over.

I think you missed the “I’m trying to strangle you but in a friendly way” hug, when I hug my friend and end up purposely strangling them for like 15 seconds

[revacohen]

The best hug I ever received happened when I was fifteen. I was in choir, and it was the last concert of the year. Everyone was hugging each other and bidding farewells to each other. One hug I received came from a boy who was eighteen. He wrapped his arms around me and held me to his chest. He also told me in a warm tone of voice that he always wanted to hug me. This type of hug wasn't mentioned in the video.

Awkward hug: a awkward hug is when someone hugs you but you don’t hug back until you realize they are hugging you basically a delayed hug but you still feel safe and want more hugs

[avillence_hollow]

You forgot the choking hug from relatives when they say: "You grew so much!!"

[matthewspawn]

Feel like the flirty hug should be known as a calming hug. Meant to relax someone going through a tough moment. That’s how I’ve seen it used anyhow.

[cupidswirl]

I always do the “flirty hug” usually with friends and family, but the “long hug” is definitely with my best friend <3

[namenotfound]

me accidentally flirty hugging everyone...

[czjta]

“Side hug is for friends that might not be *close* yet”

*me side hugging my mom all the time, nervously sweats*

[duskfusion]

"A bear hug is intended to be playful, lighthearted, and fun"

Me and my friends version:
A bear hug is supposed to be long, paineful, and possibly fatal

[siriusblackisgenderenvy]

My friend loves hugs a lot, he hugs me like 10 times a day, usually he will wrap his arms around me from the side, and not let go, he's super clingy, but its adorable. We hug so much to the point where people see us and think were dating, even though we're not.
