People express their love for each other by kissing, hugging, holding hands, sexual relations, dining out, giving cards and gifts, telling your true feelings, and alot of other things.

I like hugging, if it's a close friend, or family, or a lover, and also if someone's upset and needs comfort. But other than those situations, I think it's unnecessary and a bit false - like those Hollywood types who kiss each other on the cheek when they barely know each other.\nA hug should mean something - it should mean I like you, or I care about you. If it means nothing, it's ridiculous - we should all have our personal space!

Public Display of Affection. Basically making out and stuff in full view of all the people around.

It means you are in hug mode.\nSomeone needs to come up and hug you.\nKeep doing it. \nLife is good. Life is real good.

I like seeing people share affection . A young couple newly in love and older couple holding hands . There is a fine line though between showing affection and making out in public LOL./ At a funeral, holding hands or hugging the bereaved seems appropriate to me. After all, you are there for the living, and giving a hug etc to show you care  to me seems just fine. I received alot of hugs and kisses at my parents funeral party. There was not one thing wrong with it as far as I was concerned, Now, grabbin someones butt while your huggin them goes beyond PDA , that my dear is lusting!

Why?  It depends on how they are showing affection?  Do you mean they are practically getting it on in front of you?  Or is it just the sweet innocent kissing and hugging each other that turns your stomach? If its bothering you ...TELL THEM!  I think showing affection is a great lesson in life, if you dont see that...how are you going to learn to love and have affection towards others when you have a relationship?

Not enough love is being shown. Some are too emotionally frazzled to show love fearing of being emotionally hurt. It's so much easier to ask then to show. To show love takes effort.

Some people like to generate these kinds of feelings because it makes them "feel good."\n\nOthers take this entire Yahoo Ask and Answer site as a joke and try to see how much confusion they can create.\n\nEither way, don't listen to them. They're jerks and a majority of people on this website are generally friendly, honest, and helpful.\n\nHope this helps. :)

It's rediculous to censor your hug for other people.  It's also rediculous to measure how close to someone you are when you hug them and how much of them you touch.  If you want to hug someone, just do it.

I'm going to give an answer that may sound a bit strange, but it's true.  There are many single adults (not currently in a relationship) who go home from work to their apartment.  They may have some very stressful, or even agonizing, days in their lives when they need a hug, but don't get it.  So, like many people, I think about hugs all the time, but have learned to live without them. I learn to deal in other ways, mainly exercise and long, hot showers.  It's not sad or anything, it's just learning to cope.

A lot of times it's because they WANT you to be with whom you really like. So it excites them. People like to feel needed and helpful. That's why a lot of times they will run and tell the person. It's not to embarrass you even though it does! The next time someone does that to you just know it's because they genuinely do care for you and they just want you to be happy!

By physical affection, it is assumed that their gestures are not just hugs or a kiss on the cheek. \nIf the affection is more than this, there is something wrong.\nThe way it sounds is like many individuals are doing this; that is extremely odd. Please stop them right now. You should talk with your church elders to find what is right.\nWould you like somebody doing something to you that made you feel uncomfortable? Ya just have to stop it now,
