A hug is an expression of emotional closeness, and since I rarely feel that connection to others, hugging is awkward. I won't refuse a hug from a casual acquaintance, since doing so is more trouble than it's worth, but I will just go through the motions, rather than give a real hug when I don't mean it.

I love being able to identify with another so definitely that at times, it's uncanny. Precise mindset interconnection.
I don't need hugs, though it is not to say I will not want or accept one when presented. It is somewhat like saying I NEED to condition my hair after the shampoo rinse. I wouldn't mind it if I had some conditioner on hand, but I am not actively seeking it out, nor am I despaired when I don't have any. A casual indifference, it would seem.
