Subjected to Misuse?

is there any harm in letting people know you would like to be hugged when you are feeling stressed...?

And you need your loved one to be there with you. even without speaking a word, you would feel so much better and more assured and be more ready to face the challenges you have to face alone, at work etc. silence can mean support, giving of strength...

or should this be limited to be told only to the closest person?

Is there a harm really? To tell the whole world how you would like to be cared for?

i guess possible misuse would be that people can manipulate you, giving you what you need without really caring for you. As a means of getting you to do what they need..

Is it skeptism or protecting of self?

I think I prefer to have trust in the kindness of human being...
