Do you ever just want to walk up to someone and hug them?

I have been to two different colleges and have noticed that there are always some people on campus that look lonely. I am a loner by choice, but I am also active. I am referring to the people that people talk about as they walk by because they are different or soft spoken.

    Yes...and I have, but not usually with strangers. But I think you could get away with it. If you said a big "HI!", and wrapped people up in your arms they would probably hesitate trying to figure out if they know you. Then you could say, "You don't know me, but I thought one of us could use a hug!" But I'm stuck after that. I'm more of a long term relationship person. I think I would want to invite them somewhere to talk and get to know each other. Random hugs probably wouldn't do it for me. Maybe just a nonreligious/nonpolitical social club would work: The Hug Club!

    Infants who are not touched, cuddled, loved, talked to develop something called failure to thrive.

    Now think about all the old ones who have lost mates of 30 or 40 yrs, kids flung to the 4 corners of the world..one of the statements made in residential care facilities, when just a simple hand put on shoulder or a squeeze..is that" Do you know how long it has been since I have been touched " Sometimes, you just KNOW someone NEEDS a hug, a human touch to reassure them they are still a part of the world and acknowledge their existance is important.

    Interesting question,i do think feel like that sometimes. I am a loner by choice also. And it seems that people like me or you comprehend a little bit better other people's nature,especially their lonely side, because we spend more time observing,therefore, it comes somewhat easily the gift to spot that in others too. Sometimes i feel like going up to some people and ask them about their problems,but i would end up drifting away anyway,because that's my nature. I just never stick around..

    Yes I have had that feeling a few times. I have never acted on it though. Maybe you could start with just a hello. Even that can improve someones day.
