I've heard it described as being "eggshell" okay. Like, you think you're okay, but one shouted word, (or free hug video), and you break.
Dragon10449
So basically just any day of the week ending in Y then?
No, I make it through many days okay. Just frequently fragile. Sorry for your struggles. I'm happy to listen.
Honestly it was more a joke than serious (at least recently hasn't been bad, actually quite good) but I appreciate the kind offer and words

I'm a great, sincere hugger. I love people. I should do this.

Still do.

Well... don't set up a hug stand while wearing a blindfold and you should be safe. Of course now we've put this energy into the universe. GL

Didn't see a face. I know there was a black guy and a brunette. Thought it was edited well.
The face cover is to convey trust plus the video is edited so he probably did inform them they were being recorded and asked permission
Imdead124
Lol I thought the same. Camera kinda negates the blindfold
HandsomePenguin
The blindfold isn't for anonymity, its to help people feel more comfortable approaching a stranger.
And what about that blindfold gives that sense of comfort? Is it that it just looks so darn good on him? Or that it stops him from seeing?
If he cant see you, he cant judge you based off of how you look. Not saying that this guy would, but people who dont like themselves, 1/2
based on how they look, assume everyone else dislikes them for the same reason. Also, its no strings attached, if he cant recognize you.
butIlikeitbecauseitisbitterandbecauseitismyheart
Good point. But, maybe if they asked for consent after the hugs before the posting? Just to share the idea w/ others? Makes others feel good

Let yourself. Don't stop it. I'm a 6'2 220 dude and I cry whenever I want. It helps sometimes
mufasa1028
Crying can release a lot of built up emotion and can feel so good. I have a hard time crying (bc my meds) unless I'm extremely frustrated
Usually happens once or twice a year... But that nap/sleep after is like an absolute reset of the body
Can't as in I'm numb
Can I help?
You can and you are!
A hig would be nice

You are, @op. Just by being that dude. Thanks.
