i always hug individually..because i think everyones moods are different to others and i just think it's right to do it this way..it's not a chore at the end of the day..just my opinion though

I think that is being a little petty.I would just be glad someone thought of me and sent me a hug.JMO

I think it's worse when ppl use hug feature to tell you off. That should always be done in a nasty message ;)

I get annoyed at happy perky hugs when I'm doing very badly. Most of my friends know when I'm having a hard time, its usually people that hardly ever write. Still, at least look at the little face to see if I'm happy, ok or shit.

People are just trying to be nice ..you should be nice too. If you dont want to have contact with someone ..you need to not come to DS ..all they want to do is send a hug

a hug is a hug-and sometimes a hug can make a huge difference in a bad day.

I never copy and paste and when people have the horrible face not only do I try and find out why aka journals I also send a message with the hug... Usually the hugs is flowers if the red face and I sa I am sorry you feel bad or something like that. In the message if a journal was written I will "TALK" about whats going on. The hug is a quick way for me o let them know I am there The message is for me to let them know I am there and I care.

I can understand why you feel this way dd. We're all up and down all the time. It is a mood disoder after all. On another day, you might not take as much notice, or be so sensitive.

maybe that person did not have a lot of time, and wanted to make a nice gesture by contacting as many friends as possible.

a few insensitive replies DD. Just shows how insensitive we are at times. part of the illness. don't take too much notice x

geez KD, isn't that a little harsh? don't make me kick your ass like in the old days!!!

i`m SORRY, instant anger outburst..I am grateful to get hugs..

I actually agree with KD here.I think it is rude to complain about a jesture simply meant to let you know someone is thinking of you.It really shouldn't be about what is said necessarily but the thought.Alot of ppl don't have time to read everyones profile and journal etc.I just cannot believe someone would get so riled up b/c someone DARED to try and do something nice for them .

Im not insecetive one bit ..Its a hug , whats the problem ? I just didnt think it was "Goddamn Fuckin rude" ..its a hug

I agree, I never copy and paste a hug. However, some of us have limited time and many friends that we want to know we are thinking of them. So, the solution for some is to copy/paste a hug to the many friends they have. I dont think it is ever meant to be offensive. I am appreciative of the fact that someone takes the extra time to send a hug, copy/paste or original. I have spent many frustrating hours on the site trying to send individual hugs because the site is so slow. So in the interest of time,but wanting to express care, a copy/past hug may be sent. Hugs

I'm gonna go give hugs!
