Do you want a free hug?
WE WANT A BIG HUG
The reason for longing for a hug is simple, we are human, and the heart is a sensitive muscle.
— Jón Kalman Stefánsson, Fish Have No Feet
The tremendous pressure of study and life often leaves us breathless; Emotional communication and relationship maintenance between people are often neglected.
In modern society, the fast-paced lifestyle and highly digitalized means of communication often lead to increased emotional distance between people. Many people neglect emotional communication and relationship maintenance amidst busy work and study. This not only makes individuals feel lonely but also reduces emotional communication between people, affecting the warmth and cohesion of society.
What you need at this moment may be a hug.
A hug can relieve 120% of stress
A hug is a simple way to build a connection between people, an act of giving and receiving, a silent yet powerful language. Without words, a hug can convey emotional support accurately.
01 Generates dopamine, brings happiness
Dopamine is the source of good emotions and motivation. From a psychological perspective, hugging can promote the release of dopamine, bringing joy and happiness.
02 Helps release serotonin and oxytocin, reduces stress
A 2015 study by Carnegie Mellon University found that frequent hugging with important people can have a stress-buffering effect, releasing oxytocin, reducing stress to one-third, and effectively relieving stress and stress-induced illnesses.
How I wish I could find you before you go too far, before you fall to the other side of the world, give you a hug, and tell you, you are not broken.
— Pan Bolin, I Didn't Plan to Explain My Sadness to You
