How to Hug People Randomly

Hugs. Hugs, hugs, hugs. That simple and easy way to show someone how much we care about them. Often, people can feel lonely and disconnected from others. How can you help? Sometimes a friendly hug can brighten someone's day, and it's a fun and easy way to help make the world a brighter place.

Look for a friend or family member who seems lonely

Those are the ones who need a hug the most!

Walk up to them and give them your special hug

Don't crush or smother them, and alternately, don't give them a weak half hearted hug either - just hug them.

Tell them how much you love/care/appreciate them

Compliment them for something, thank them for something they've done or just give them the equally simple and beautiful "I love you."

Tips

• Smile and show a lot of energy! The more enthusiastic and smiling you are, the better that person will feel.
• Don't stop at hugging! If it's a close friend, talk with them and try to brighten up their day.

Warnings

• Do give hugs to complete strangers. Many people will feel welcoming and try to stay with you if they don't know you. Some people may even consider being touched in such a way to be very wonderful.
