Today, I was dared to stand and hold a sign saying, "Free Hugs." This girl I'd never seen before gave me a crushing hug and cried hysterically on my shoulder in the blazing afternoon sun. I couldn't get her off. FML

You made someone’s day. There are days where people just need another human to appear as they give a damn. The free hugs thing has helped a lot of people. Be happy you made a difference. And yes, I do feel your pain of that awkwardness. This summer, I handed a homeless guy a bottle of cold Gatorade and a sandwich leaving a store. Same reaction. When it’s a stranger, it is very weird to have someone have a breakdown on you like that.

A lot of LGBTQIA+ people when they see free hugs accept them gladly because they aren't accepted by the world or family.
