Awkward Hugger

I grew up in a very small church.  Everybody knew everybody, and the most common way to greet each other was a warm welcome and a big hug. Therefore, I always hugged everyone.  Even those that didn't go to my church.  It was just how I greeted people.

Now days, things are very different for me.  I have literally distanced myself from others.  If I happen to see someone that used to go to church with me in that small church, I still hug them.  It's still considered acceptable. 

 However, Now that I'm older I realize that not every one hugs to greet each other.  I've turned into an awkward hugger.  Sometimes there are instances where when I'm greeting some one I wonder if I should hug them.  But while I'm debating about whether or not to go in for a hug the appropriate time period for greeting someone with a hug goes by.  So then if I decide I should hug them it's all awkward.....

So if I go to hug you and it seems awkward, know you're not alone.  

Have a great day!
