I don't really like being hugged. If she seems to recoil and clam up when you do it, it's a pretty good indication she doesn't want to be hugged either.

Oh man, that is so cool...

What he didn't tell you was that she only said "How would you like to pay for that, Sir?"

STOP HUGGING THIS WOMAN AT ONCE!
Sheesh, I am so tired of hearing that.

Nah, don't listen to them. As INTPs, we put on this big act of not liking people just coming up and touching us, but we really crave group hugs, all the time. Especially from friends and coworkers we're not intimately involved with. You need to just be more assertive about hugging her more often. Don't be put off by her defensive shell; she really likes it, and you'll break through to her eventually. It'll just take a lot more hugging.

Thanks, man.

I was starting to think NTs were plain mean. I often see it as a shell too.

I really don't mind being hugged, if there's a reason for the hug. What's creepy is when a dude you don't even know hugs you because he's a dirty old man that just wants to hug you to get close to you and possibly feel you up. EW.

I guess it really just depends on who's doing the hugging.

Hey, hi there... ! :hi:

I also believe in hugging for a reason. Like before leaving or seeing someone again after many months... This is usually what I do.

I don't like being hugged. And I do the stiff thing when people hug me. It's usually because I really don't know how to act when it happens.

This doesn't count with family or really really close friends, though.
