Types of Hugs

Side hugs: This means that they don't love you so much but don't even dislike you. In fact, they haven't known you so much but surely wish to know you more.

Closed-eyes hugs: This means the person is pleased to hug you and finds you to be their home. They may even treat you like family. It also says that they have embraced you after a long time and felt content.

Pick-them up hug: The hug where you pick the other person up. This means you are super excited to see them, so much so that you don't want to leave them at all. This usually happens in best friends.

Long hugs: The lover-lover hug. This type of hug means that you don't need words to talk to each other and the hugs are enough. This type of hugs says, 'I am there for you, whenever you need me.'

Run and jump hug: This inevitably means that you have seen the other person for a long time and you just want to kill the distance between you and take the other person home.

Hugs are a way of saying I love you in the best way possible. Not only does it make you feel better instantly but it also helps share your loved one's pains.
