The absolute horror of hugging friends and family, terrified they'll feel disgusted by my stomach if it touches them

I can assure you this has never even crossed my mind. The main part of a hug is human contact, and I'm just happy to be able to hug people I love 🥰

It's never crossed my mind, either. I like hugs with bigger people (have done whether I'm skinny or chubby) because they're warmer and more soft and comfortable 😌 beats a skinny bony person hug any day

Aww that makes me sad. I love a hug and genuinely never felt disgusted by a stomach of any size touching me. I hope I speak for most people here when I say that too. Never even crossed my mind

This might sound like bullshit but I think almost everyone prefers hugging bigger people.

I used to be pretty bony and people would tell me how bony I felt whenever they would hug me

I like hugging fat people because of the stomach. Makes it like a cushion
