Title. What’s the science behind hugs being so functional?
In: Biology
It’s a conditioning from when you were little. As a baby and a small child, you were held and cradled by parents. When you were tiny you couldn’t look after yourself so you relied on your parents for all of your safety. When they held you, you knew you were safe and looked after. So now as an adult, being held and cuddled brings the same feelings of warmth and safety.
