Yeah often get that "sorry, I'm a hugger" thing from people, I'm normally ok with it but there's some people you just don't want touching you. Usually because they're channeling Eeyore or Marvin the depressed robot and you just don't need that rubbing off on you.
For those who insist on hanging off people when you know they don't like it and using the "sorry, im a hugger", imagine how you'd feel if the person you hugged grabbed a handful of your crotch and said "sorry, I'm a groper"? 🤔
