I get traumatised just watching coworkers hug each other.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, hugging at work is not on. A world of no.

No harm.
Only coworker I have hugged outside of the ones that are close friends was my officemate when he got laid off. Man, that was weird. But I was crying, too. So epic weird. I miss him. My middle boss gets touchy to all after parties (booze) but I can deflect that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This was at her house, so all bets were off.

Hec, that sniper shot story makes me think of Jessica Biel trashing $30k worth of camera equipment because she hit exactly what they had her aim at.
Less deadly, but we are talking Blade 3.
I can't imagine the stress of my reaction to a likkered up grabby work superior.

You hug-a-phobes have got all kinds of personal space issues. I suspect Yankees and dour Scandanvians. And ita who is sui generis.

Oh no, I've alienated the hug-avoidant.

Even at my gropiest, hugging on the day job was always verboten. And my off hours gropiness was pretty touchy feely. But I made sure to ask spousal permission.

I prefer to think of it as having personal space.
