Unless I don't like you.
That goes without saying. Why would you hug someone you don't know or don't like? Unless you are some kind of hippie. Some people do it at gigs and parties to people they've never met.
Namely, me.
It's fun, you make a ton of friends and/or are perceived as insane and dangerous.
That sounds more like an ego/power trip. Hugging somone you never met instantly asserts yourself as a dominate character over them. Being perceived as dangerous and getting a kick our of it is a power trip and making lots of freinds for a day is an ego trip.
I bet when the party is over you get in a car with a few really close freind and dissipate back to a flat and sleep. Unless you're a hangover at a party because of travel arrangements.
It's much more simple than that.
It's just a trip.
Edit: I wanted to post a related pic just for you to understand, but then I remembered that only some people on MAL know what I look like and I want it to stay that way. Those who know are also aware of my hugging facet. I personally feel like that's a bit of the real me, because it's a liberation of constraint. Hugging everything, it's just because I love the world with absolute sincerity. Simplicity, something that you do not understand, is something I learned through hugging and other manifests of... Well, of bing simple. A hug is just a hug. There is nothing behind it. I see something I like? I hug it. Or I say hi to it. If it's something I dislike, I avoid it. It's like binary, only one option or another. You say "omg ego-power-trip" because you have probably never been in a situation of so much adoration for the situations surrounding you that you just have to touch, hug, LOVE everything.
Everything is not just people. Now that I think about it I haven't hugged a human being for a long time. Excluding my best friend. But yesterday I hugged a dog, and a pillow, and a long stick (I wonder...) The other day I made friends with the mail post, as referred before. I hugged the little fishies that live on the earth as I felt them on my fingers.
Oh my child, you must think that I'm like you. You must think that I go out, drink a little it and satisfy the needs that my real life cannot assure, like ego rubbing and power. I don't need that, because I already have power in my real life. What I search for in going out is precisely the contrary. It is to find the end of all things, what defines them all, it is to enter a state in which all the things said apply to everything and the world becomes suddenly clear. Have you ever seen it? Probably not. I personally only know three, maybe four, people capable of reaching such a state of non-rationalization. That is the secret: look at things and not rationalize about them. Do you know what happens when you rationalize? After you poke a cup for 20 minutes and someone tells you "you've been poking it for a long time now" you can either keep going, and go further, or stop it. You stop it when you rationalize and explain what was going on with the cup. And stopping is dying, it's fading and falling asleep.
Just look at the clouds and you will be able to see the stars on them. You don't even need stimulants of any kind if you just don't think and just look. Tought, tought is the veil of the mind. I excelled in getting rid of it. Try as well.
Conclusion: don't criticize my fun when I only had 3 hours of sleep AND was not allowed to explore the nature. I hate my friends sometimes, I really wanted to explore the nature.
Edit 2: While I was writing this I noticed new answer, so I'll just edit this as well, I wonder if it will come out another wall...
On any case, even on my worst state I am very aware of my well being, so thanks for your concern. You see, the trick stated above also works for escaping dangers and other things. If a man is getting too close to me, I will duck away, climb a wall and hiss (sometimes literally), even if I know him. Unless I want that company, of course, but we have to take it as if I never want any company. Because, honestly, who can think about sex when you have INVERTED SQUARES on the walls? I will also do this to any girl that is annoying.
My way is a bit different because of my environment. I usually don't go to clubs. I go to the street, pub to pub, finding people while walking and saying goodbye while advancing. So, basically, if I am feeling threatened I just need to change the street I'm at. :3 Or scream. Yeah, the part of screaming is the last resource, everyone is afraid of it.
Basically, worry not and listen to my wise words, as I know what I'm doing. But damn, it's hard to convey my sageness in words, you have to come here and go out with me. It's like when I talk about Haruhi and say it explained coherently all I love and believe, people only get it when I explain it to them out loud, with gestures. |
