Dou you like hugging?

Reader's Digest 2月号の記事 'Is This Normal or Nuts?' からの引用です。
My friends are all huggers, and I hate it! When they see me, they throw their arms around me and squeeze away. I'm not a germophobe, and I love my friends. I'd just prefer a handshake. Is that so wrong?
...hop on a plane. In about half the world, it's hugging that is rude, not not hugging.
You're not a nut; you're just stuck in an increasingly hug-happy culture.
