There are so many scenarios when hugging people taller than you just doesn’t work out.
The images of hugs above are cute for people in relationships. It’s nice to feel wrapped up in someone’s arms that you care about. However, when you are hugging friends, family, or even acquaintances, it feels a little different.
Everyone can relate to this in some way. When you are hugging a tall person, your face is all up in their stomach, and if they did not drop their hand down, they would be hugging air. For the tall person that is being hugged, I have always wondered how they felt about having a face pushed into their stomach.
The one thing I advise against doing to short people is picking them up. Unless you are my very best friend or we are dating, don’t pick me up. I am not a doll. I am a person. 
Girls, when you are hugging other females, watch you chest! It is awkward and annoying to have your face touch another girl’s boobs. I cannot tell you how many times this has happened to me. If you are tall and have a chest, try one-armed or side hugs.
Here in Atlanta, mostly at my school, I have seen people wearing shirts or holding signs that say “Free Hugs” on them. I thought they were just being funny, but it is an actual thing. The Free Hug Campaign tells the story of how a small act can go a long way for someone.
I bet if I was wearing a “Free Hugs” shirt or sign that said it, I would get a lot more hugs than average size people. For some reason people love hugging short people. I think this picture on the right perfectly explains the reasoning behind it.
I don’t want to suffocate in someones chest and I don’t really care to be pressed into someones stomach either, so I would advise individuals to just giving short people one-armed hugs around the shoulder.

This blog is hilarious! I laughed the whole time reading it haha. I didn’t even think of some of these scenarios that short people deal with. Nice job on this blog, I really enjoyed reading!

Not to mention it can hurt sometimes. One time I hugged a guy that was taller than me and his chest was rock solid. It felt like I crashed into a wall. It’s very hard to enjoy a hug when the height ration is just slightly off

Haha, loved this whole blog. Just noticed that you took the time to place the media in different positions (left-aligned, centered, right-aligned, justified), which I liked. And to answer your question, make a fist and press it lightly against your stomach/chest–that’s what it feels like to hug someone shorter.
