I need a hug

Having a low self-esteem day - nothing major going on, just having one of those days where I feel like everyone hates me.

If you aren't the hugging type - please post an inappropriate joke or story.

Thanks in advance

I'm fighting it by screaming FUCK several times a day. It seems to help. But I was out gathering hugs earlier today.

and he agreed to donate his bone marrow to his sibling. He was very brave during all the tests and in the lead up to the day of the operation. As he was about to be wheeled into the operating room his father asked him if he had any worries: "How long will it take me to die?".

The little guy thought he was giving up his life for his brother and willingly did so. That is love. (Found in Chicken Soup for the Soul I think).

If anyone hates you, at least you know you're still here, and someone noticed!

If you are having a low self-esteem day, at least notice that this is the most visited and replied-to of the "I need a..." threads.

This is from before she was shot. She was always a warm outgoing person. One time, she was being introduced to someone new, and he extended his hand for a handshake. She said, "I don't do handshakes. I do hugs."

Just think of what kind of person sometimes can get their true nature locked up inside a cage. You'll find a way to set yours free again soon.

and tell you you're doing a great job.

If I knew you well enough, I'd give you physical hug. But I'm an old fart and I suspect you can live without a hug from a stranger.

They polled a hundred men between the ages of 25 and 45, and every one of them said ouch.
