Hmm. . . I’ve never heard of facing either.

Elizabeth, the random hugs thing seems to be a roll of the dice.

Neil, on the other hand, gets hit by strangers all the time (instead of hugs), especially by women. And girls under the age of 5 follow him down the road making cow eyes.

Maybe it’s pheremones?

All things considered, coming out neutral where you are neither hugged nor belted by strangers isn’t necessarily a bad thing!

We called it ‘blocking’ (‘facing,’ that is; not ‘hugging’.)

And it happens to Shaula at random all the time (‘hugging,’ that is; not ‘facing’), whereas I have to perform something on the order of the Heimlich Maneuver.

The Heimlich counts as hugging a stranger, doesn’t it?

I have to admit I’ve never received a random hug from a total stranger. And “facing” is a totally new term to me. Good to know!
