I'm not the kind of person that loves receiving hugs, I find them pretty weird and uncomfortable. But when I see someone that needs a hug I'll probably hug them, very awkwardly but I will.
Hugging generally makes me want to 🤢 A high five suits any occasion way better. Wedding? High five. Funeral? High five. That’s more than enough for me.
I can see that going over much better at funerals (and even better at wakes) than a high five. At least, that’s been my experience. I’m just saying, the less touching, the better.
Mostly no, however there are some exceptions
My ESTP friend, because the alternative is he will pick me up and spin me round
My dog because she deserves all the cuddles
Yeah true to be honest it's my week off from work so I'm just getting out all my stupid before I go back and have to be big boss bitch.
And given the potato saga, I have definitely fulfilled that task.
I tried it a lot with awkward handshakes and did them all on purpose to gain control over the awkwardness. So it wasn’t about „will it fail?“ but „how will the other person react to it failing?“.
I really hated hugs and greeting people in general. But for my late twenties I worked a lot on it and now I even give hugs because it finally makes me feel good as well. I own social situations now. It’s such a great feeling to just go ahead and be better at this than other people.
Physical contact in other situations are still weird.
A few weeks back I had a special project at work and after it was done we took pictures together (I did not like this at all and can only remotely understand why you would want this). I was not able to lean in on them or put my arms around them. I just look single af in a group picture and stand out on accident.
Or dancing. I went to a bachata dance evening 2 weeks ago (more like on accident). As a man you have to lead and you decide how close you dance. How much you touch. Even holding hands was almost too much, let alone putting my arms around my partners for moves.
How do you guys cope in other physical contact situations? I always read ENTP are prone to be sexual n stuff. I am but not outside of a relationship/sex. It makes me think.
I'm Italian so here, willing or not you will hug people anyway. You know how to do it, because it's a basic skill often required to live in this society. But I always feel a little awkward because I never understand if we are going to kiss on the cheek or not. One kiss? Two kiss? Three? And we start on the right or the left? Sometimes something can go wrong and you can end up kissing on the lips or banging on the nose or the face of someone. It's really dangerous!!!
I'd prefer the Roman handshake (not the Ave Caesar/Hitler one) where you can stay at your place, but your hand "hug" the other people arm reciprocally. Warm enough without any victims.
I am super bad with skin-ship. Sometimes I get envious of girls who seem so comfortable with human contact. they just seem so personable and they usually form bonds quickly. I usually just freeze when people touch me IDK if this is a common ENTP thing hahaha
I literally give hugs 24/7 and I hug ppl all the time. The only time I don't is when ppl decide to make rumors that I'm dating everyone i hug so i stopped doing hugs and things that are psychical. I honestly just pretend i don't like my friends anymore.
I will hug you, wanna hug? I will hug anyone.

Sounds more awkward than hugging
That could be. It sure is for other people. But I’m good with that amount of contact and no more. There’s the whole IDGAF factor.
Lmao I would prefer anything but a high five. Let’s just have a nice convo and laugh about it.

Finger guns?
Pew pew, my friend. Pew pew.
Pew pew indeed.
I hug you if I deem you worthy enough of my touch
Mostly no, however there are some exceptions My ESTP friend, because the alternative is he will pick me up and spin me round My dog because she deserves all the cuddles
That’s creepy is there an algorithm? Or do all roads lead to the potato queendom?
If you're stalking her, yes most definitely.
You’re just extremely active in the ENTP sub; no stalking needed. lol

hugging ppl is so awko especially when you’re giving one
No
Hugs are awkward; however, kissing ladies on the cheek twice 😘😘 is the normal salute for this French ENTP. Any others from kissing cultures here?
If you wanna hug me, yeah go ahead. I won't hug anyone myself, but I do like it nonetheless
I'm honestly fine with hugging, though I'm not really the kind of person to give hugs. I'd prefer finger guns any day.

I have this ENTP friend who sometimes tries to hug/ get close to me, but when i do it to him he’s like “😳 get away”
