I enjoyed this lots. (BTW, John Coxon is looking for fanzine contributions if you would like to give it a papery home.)

However it has added to my confusion over how I feel about hugs because now as well as not being sure if I want to give and/or receive them I'm going to be worried about clashes where I'd never had that concern before!

John's would be apt, as writing this was a major Procrastination...

I get fewer clashes when I act in pure recipient mode - I see the hugger approach and base my reaction on what would fit with them. But I get fewer hugs that way than when I take a more active part in initiating the hug.

I'm still fairly poor at initiating hugs, but I am a lot better at not running away and hiding when someone comes towards me with arms!

(Maybe if I get enough practice at this it will begin to feel as "natural" and "instinctive" as society leads us to expect so if we have trouble we think we're crap at being human. But I find I usually need to get through a perhaps over-analytic stage before I internalise the understanding (she says, over-analytically))

Was just commenting to someone yesterday that I hug lots more people at a Corflu than otherwise. And it all felt more natural: no obvious bumping or crashing. I suspect this is more how I feel about many other Corflu-attending people, as compared to wider group of friends, than indicative of fanzine fans being especially good at hugging!

Damn you, woman! I was putting in an angle for this! [grin]

Bug -- Since Abi is a fan-fund candidate, she's much more deserving of fanzine-ready copy than John.
