Definitely not, another one who i have not mentioned, he got severly bullied in a local store, including the guy behind the counter bullied him, because it was local. and all the people around began staring directly at him, that is unforgiveable, so I am giving a warm hug to him, he is very sad now :(

Not if that involves any highway driving, which I expect it does. :(

Driving's one of my (myriad of) phobias; major highways are just a no-can-do, right now. :cry: :x

Oh, sorry to hear that... is it just driving on them or merely being in a car on a highway?

Well thanks, but I don't really feel better... there are two basic problems with internet hugs:

1) I need my hugs to be in real life... I just can't imagine the sensations you feel during a hug, I actually have to feel them...

2) The type of hug I'm into is those really long ones that are almost semi-romantic in nature (although they need not be so every time)... the kind that is almost a standing-up version of cuddling... anyway, most of the women I know aren't into that...

True. An internet hug is more like an abstract gesture of affection, which can make you feel metaphysically warm and fuzzy, but not physically warm and fuzzy. I like both types of hugs. :D

Both - though for me, the actual driving's far scarier. It's tough to explain, but I think it's mainly due to my anxiety disorder, and may have something to do with a sensory processing problem. I don't like speed; it gives me a "rush" of fear that often triggers panic attacks. Because of the way my dad drives, for example, whenever I'm in the car with him on a highway, I have to employ a lot of self-talk to keep from panicking.

When I'm behind the wheel, I'm extremely conscientious, but there's so much information to have to process simultaneously that it's overwhelming. I think the fear of highways stems from the fact that one must be able to control a car successfully at high speeds, *plus* be able to change lanes quickly, which is something I don't think that I'm currently equipped to do. Also, if I were unable to stop a full-blown panic attack in its tracks whilst on a highway, I feel like it'd be hard for me to get to the shoulder safely. On back roads, I can pull over immediately, if need be.

Driving exhausts me, and leaves me shaky - even if I'm just going to and from work (about a 10-min. drive each way). It's pathetic that something so seemingly-innocuous makes me so afraid. It makes me angry at myself. :( :x
