If you hate embrace, 

the world can be a place with many challenges for you. You never know when
you're in the arms of a friend you see at a coffee.
 
Your options are limited: you can avoid uncomfortable gesture, pull your hand out for a handshake, or
you can submit to unwanted hugs. Whether you're for or against hugs, here's all you need to know about
these people's habit!

What are the reasons why some people hate hugs?

Why do some people hate hugs, and others love them? According to experts, it may be related to how you
grew up. The tendency of people to engage in physical touch, whether we hug or put a hand on a friend's
shoulder, is often a product of childhood experiences. A study published in 2012 found that people who
were raised by parents who hugged them often love loving hugs in adulthood. The study concluded that
hugs are an important element in a child's emotional education.

In the case of people raised by parents who were not big fan hugs, even the thought of hugging can make
them feel uncomfortable. In a family that was not physically demonstrative when it comes to love,
children can grow up and follow the same pattern with their children. However, there are cases where
growth and maturing without physical touch can have opposite effects. Some children grow up and long
aftertouch, becoming social aggressors who can not greet a friend without a hug or a touch on their
shoulders. Whether you grew up in a family where you were always in your arms or raised in a physical
environment without physical proximity, these factors can have a lasting physiological impact.

There are two main ways that the lack of physical touch can affect the growing body: the
underdeveloped vagus nerve, which can lower people's ability to be intimate or to show compassion; an
underdeveloped oxytocin system, the oxytocin-releasing hormone glands helping people to make
connections with other people.
Without this hormone, it can be harder to interpret social gestures and even be more sociable. And hugs
and touch are extremely important for young people, even if you do not like it as an adult.

Self-esteem and poor body image can play a part in someone's hugs for hugs. People who are more open
to physical touch usually have a higher level of self-confidence. People with a higher level of social
anxiety can hesitate to engage in affectionate hugs with others, including friends. And the fear that
someone will come and take you in your arms may make this discomfort worse.

How can you overcome your aversion to hugs?

Although no one should feel obliged to embrace someone, if you want to overcome your aversion to hugs,
you can follow a carefully elaborate plan.
