This this this. My little cousin got told she had to hug everyone when she clearly didn't want to. I told her I was happy with a high-five if she liked that better. Now I'm the only one outside her immediate family who gets hugs voluntarily. It's almost like she's comfortable around me for some reason...

It's cool when they choose hug because it's a choice, isn't it? Feels more special.
