I do side hugs if I’m initiating. If someone else is initiating I just follow lead. I have really bad neck pain so I prefer not to be hugged. Haha.

literally just got into a huge fight with my sister over her “we have to get back to normal!!!” stance. she wears a mask sometimes but is generally just so selfish. it makes me feel like I’M the crazy one overreacting. we’re in the uk and there are no restrictions here at all.

i used to be the person in the cartoon costumes for story time at the local bookstore, and one time a dad saw me walking back to the break room as clifford and was like omg my son is obsessed with clifford would you mind waiting for him, my wife is bringing him over RIGHT NOW. and they showed up about 5 minutes later and this little 2 year old was in pjs and everything and just LIT UP when he saw me haha. it was so cute that it stayed with me all these years later.

I absolutely love magical lil kids. So pure and cute. A toddler thought my yorkie was Toto once and she was beside herself! 💗

But having a child is a crapshoot, so I'd rather not. 🤷 😂

I deeply hate interacting with people who are in character, whether that be mascots, at haunted houses or at theme parks like this. I try not to spoil the experience when I'm with other people since it brings them a lot of joy but I hate when I shake my head or indicate that I don't want to be involved and they just come over anyway and try to interact with me.

the topic of hugs reminds me of when my niece was a toddler she would hug any huggable inanimate object (even in public) but did not like hugging humans.

weirdo. but i get it.
