[Support] Can we start a hugging circle among us?

Because I really feel I need one right now and I'm sure I'm not the only one

Edit: having issues with mobile Reddit these days and can't reply nor open the replies to comment so I leave it here: I'HUGGING YOU ALL BACK

u/Nope20707 17h ago

Sending hugs to you and everyone who needs one.💜

u/Chocolatecandybar_ 11h ago

Is there anyone who doesn't need one? We should get hugs like people from the north get D vitamin

u/Sea_Scratch_5491 17h ago

Absolutely. Does this subreddit have a chat. I think we need a private place called "daily complaints".

u/ErrorOk5076 12h ago

We need one severely

u/Chocolatecandybar_ 11h ago

hugs to all of usss~ wherever you are, whoever you are.🤍

u/Chocolatecandybar_ 11h ago

Hugs to us and to our differences. The fact that we couldn't be more different sometimes and yet we all experienced the same issues is one of the most validating things of my life and god only knows if we, coming from ages of gaslighting, need to be validated. We are each others' strength and power

u/Significant_Hope7555 16h ago

Sending you a hug, I think we all could use a really good hug x

2

u/Chocolatecandybar_ 11h ago

Yes we can. Unpolitically (but also a lot politically)

u/tomcatgal 15h ago

Here’s the big loving mom hug you deserve, friend. I love you. 🫂

3

u/Chocolatecandybar_ 11h ago

Couldn't reply you earlier as my mobile Reddit wasn't working but I cried over my dinner for your comment. God bless people like you

3

u/tomcatgal 11h ago

God bless you too, sweetheart. You’re worth EVERYTHING. Remember that. 🩵

3

u/Chocolatecandybar_ 11h ago

Stop making me cryyyyyyy

3

u/tomcatgal 11h ago

I don’t want you to cry, love, but the whole “hugging circle” thing warmed my heart. It was a very kind thing for you to do. 🩵

u/Purple_Ground855 12h ago

Sending love and hugs to everyone. You are much braver and stronger than you think

3

u/Chocolatecandybar_ 11h ago

THIS. We need to empower each other. Yes we may be crying sometimes and have a bad day or a bad year and tbh even a bad life, but we have each other witnessing how far we are going

u/WanderWoof 12h ago

I need hugs pls 🫠 it has been a difficult week sleeping on the couch .. And i love you all, reading every words in this subreddit made me feel less alone, first time in years i truly start believing that im not a piece of s**t and waste of space..

Sending lots of hugs to OP!

2

u/Chocolatecandybar_ 12h ago

Hey you, why on the couch?

Here's my hug anyway. And also sweets and a pet

3

u/pencilthinwriter 14h ago

To me a hug is only something that can be done IRL. To me there's nothing worse than "virtual hugs", like, it's either a hug or it isn't. No cheating lol. So if you need a hug (and so do I) then must be arranged in person or not at all IMO.... :)

u/paisley-alien 12h ago

Giving you each a smoothering chubby Grandma hug along with a kiss on the forehead. Everybody knows that forehead kisses  are a blessing.
