If you want people to care about you, you should start by caring about them.  Most people won't just open up to you on their own... they need the incentive to do so.  They need the knowledge that you can be trusted, in order to trust you at all.

It amazes me how deeply I care for my friends, and yet how horribly I show it.  Sometimes I feel that my heart will break if I don't make that connection with them... but finding the initiative to make the first attempt is so frightening.  I know so many people whom I would love to get to know much better.  But how does that conversation even start?  It all seems so scary.  Somewhere deep inside is a voice reminding me of why that is, and I don't want to even type those words here.  But if I never say it, how will I ever heal?

...


I took a quiz a while ago called "what is your love language" and I got the result of "physical touch" and at the time I didn't think that was the case, but now I know I was wrong.  It's why I feel lonely at a concert.  It's why I feel the urge to hug all of my friends when I haven't seen them in a while.  It's how I let people know that I care, and it's how I know that others care about me.  That's why I don't like it when a stranger touches me, or when someone I don't like touches me.  It's why I don't like to be touched when I'm angry (although once I stop being stubborn I will admit that I really need a hug/snuggle).

So if next time I see you I try to hug you.... let me hug you!  Please?  I want to tell you "I care" without having to use words.

Caring... True caring is much harder to put in action than it is to think on. There is not one of my friends that I do not think about and wish well. Yet how often do I come over to ease the sufferings they may be facing. Perhaps its selfishness, " Do I really want to bother?" but more often I think it some ingrained sense of Independence that america has told us we must all have.
"I'll take care of myself thankyou very much." and so we dont think others would want any but the same. In other lands there is a true sense of community and belonging. There is a sense of "WE" instead of "I". We just dont get it. But you know what, to hell with that. Its not a weakness to want a hug and to be told " Hey its ok...you are not a chump and we all got your back."
So I say...Yes...I want hugs.
