Do you NEED hugs?
Just wondering...
Do you NEED hugs? Someone said to me recently that they don't need hugs. Ever. Is that weird or am I just a softie? I really like physical contact, besides sexual physical contact. How can someone say they don't need hugs (i.e. can take them or leave them, and wouldn't miss them if nobody gave them hugs). They like them ok if they get them, but if it's not happening, they don't care.
What do you think?

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
