Zoe's post reminded me:
I CAN'T get hugs. I am very claustrophobic, but not in the traditional "small spaces" way. I always need to feel like I can escape if I need to, and if someone is holding me, I can't. The two exceptions to this rule are my ex-girlfriend and my mom, who are allowed to hug me as long as they doesn't do it too long.
I really tick people off when they try to hug me, especially because I am a hugger myself and all for hugging them. But if they try to hug me, I tense up at the least, or explain my situation, and at the most, I shove them off (only people who I have told repetitive times, however, I'm not a jerk or anything, but some people you have to do more than tell).
