Hugaholic

hugaholic - a person who has a compulsive addiction to hugging people, and will wither away and die if they are cut off from hug-able people/beings.
there is no known cure for this addiction, and no help-groups to aid these people.

One who loves receiving hugs from almost anybody. Like alcohol this can be a daily and addicting habit. Must be a long hug or bear hug for one to feel the high or the euphoric love hangover feeling. But no fake hugs are allowed. You can give someone a certain look and they know exactly what you want.....a big hug.
