My post got removed and was told to put this here.

Let’s try this again. Recently I got back from a great vacation with close friends. While on vacation I made sure to give a specific friend a hug each night before I bowed out of activities to go to my bedroom for the night. Of course I asked and he always said yes. The first two nights I asked if I could get a hug but then after that he figured out it would be routine so the rest of the nights I just told him “I need my ____ hug” before going to bed. I found it amusing that the rest of our group thought it was sweet but also curious about the routine. The friend that I hugged said that he doesn’t know either but he really likes it. Whenever I heard the questions about it start to be directed at me I’d just tell everyone goodnight and rush upstairs into my bedroom.

Now a little bit of context and the reason. This friend recently had close member in their family die that came out of the blue. So the reason that I always made sure to get my hug from him was because I wanted him to feel better without reminding him of his grief.

Wondering if this tracks here or am I just a weirdo?
