Sometimes when people feel nervous, they hug because it makes them feel safer. Think of hugging like a big, warm blanket for your body, it helps you calm down. Hugs can send messages to the brain that say, 'I’m okay,' or even, 'You’re not alone.' This is why we see people hugging before important moments like giving speeches or going on dates.
Examples
- A student hugs their teacher before giving a presentation.
- Two friends hug right before an important interview.
- A child clings to their parent at school drop-off.
