Hug Anxiety

Hmmmm, I think I have Hug Anxiety again. Do you know what I'm talking about?. It's when you find yourself in a desperate need for a hug. Sometimes, when I get them, I feel like I could jump over anyone and hug him/her for no reason whatsoever.

This is relatively recent in my behaviour historial. It only started after my HUGE CHANGE of SELF due to taking Paroxetine. It is in principle good, because now I hug people more, which in turn makes me get closer to them. It's only a problem when I get this HUG ANXIETY and I'm far from "anyone - who - loves - me - HUG RANGE". It got really bad on my trip to Valencia. I desperately needed to hug my mum, my dad, my cat. In fact, I was in such a state on the return home by train, that I hugged the college to whom I got slightly closer (friendship-ly) during said trip.

Now I wonder if what happens to me is:
a) a basic human reaction to the lack of physical contact we have in today's society
b) a consequence of the state of loneliness I am immersed here in Barcelona, where apart from my parents, have no contact at all with "people who care"
c) another addition to my already long list of unique bonker-ness

If anyone has any argument to prove/disprove any of the above ideas, please comment on it.

CHEERS :D
