I am not really sure if I am the only person to actually think about this question much often, but, it has been eating away at my brain all day, and...I-I just really wanted to know; is skin-ship...bad?

I am a really introvert kind of person, but, that dosen't mean I don't enjoy a good, warm, and all around great hug, nor do I detest giving them. I understand that there are some people out there who don't like being touched, period. (not even by their own mother) I just can't contemplate how one can not want any source of comfort or...love. I mean, how do they express that themselves? You can't really expect someone to just know you love them, you have to just show sort of affection, right? I am also the type of person to not like PDA. I hate dislike it so much. I just can't stand peolple who hold hands, kiss, or all that other love-dovey couple bull. UGH! you have no idea how annoying it is to turn every corner in the halls at school just the see these , hormonal teens pratically ing each other aganist the walls. No! I am not jealous because I'm a complete loner who has no bae by their side!  I just don't thinks it's a really decent thing to do, and your right, once I get my own jiff of all that lovey dovey crap I may change my mind, but for now I will forever despise couples. (p.s.- I do really thinks it's sweet for them to show how you say 'display their love' and some of it is really cute, believe me. But please, not in front of me.)

*notices how off topic I just got*

But back to the main topic, I know some of these actions can be refered to as the quote on quote 'clingy' type, but that still can't settle me down. For example, whenever this one guys friend of mines comes around, he always gives hugs, which I just so happen to enjoy. This one night, I hadn't let go from the hug as he tried to pull away, and when he asked why, I merely replied that I love hugging the people I care about, and that is the only way I could show my affection (I use body language) towards them. I was so baffeled as he just gave me this unreadable look and then said "okay, that's weird at all," he dragged out. I didn't really care for it then and I still don't, but now I wonder if I was making him uncomfortable noticing that I still hadn't let go at this point, but, he always gives hugs to everyone girl -every girl, so how could I have made him uncomfortable? It confused me even more the following Monday, when were reviewing this thing for our marching band, in which he sat right next to me and...played with my hand! He literally played with every single finger as we sat there the whole 45 minuets or so, at 7 o'clock in the morning, in a cafeteria sized band room, playing with my hand...and foot! You see what I mean?

(In all honesty I think I really lost the path to proving my point and I am just speaking for words now...I am sincerely sorry. Please do not read this)

But then, I have this other friend who sweet, and nice, and a major anime lover. She's amazing, she genuinely is. She just hates hugs, in which had to find out the hard way. *happy Disney themed musuc plays* I was just feeling happy that day (which is rare, especially at school) and as I strode merrily into my beginners Art 1 class, a friendly smile painted upon my face, I approaced everyone I was lucky enough to call my friend and gave them a big hug, in which they had smiles that matched mine as a thank you. But as I got to her, arms wide and welcoming, I could feel her visibly stiffen in my embrace * record scratches* , her arms clutched up towards her chest, making the position awkward. She then confeessed her pet peeve (if that's the right word for it) unto which, I quickly let go and offerd a weird kind of high five instead (which she gratefully obliged) before I let an awkward sigh leave my lips and scurried back toward my seat. That was one of the most painfully awkward situations I have been in since 7th grade where my best friend and I decided to dress as guys for a day at school (in which we just ended up looking like beginner lesibans), and I had this one gymnastics presentation due and one of my friends had to come down from the stands and tell me I had the hugest wedgie of all time. I ended the presentaion only thirty seconds into the song and we got zeros for that project in which I really did not give a rats because we came unprepared anyway, I am still trying to forget how red my face was that day as I ran into the bathroom to retrieve the rest of my pants my huge (not really) suffocating it.

But anyways. Do you think skin-ship is bad? Personally I am still pondering the thought. How about hugs...do you like those as well?
