PHRASE AND MEANING




"Asked for a hug, and got a stab instead" - Today's Phrase


What is the big cat that Ms. Sirina is hugging?

By the way, as per several studies out there, hugging therapy helps with releasing hormones to enhance happiness, while showing stress-buffering effect. We even shared a small section of a video from a movie on this topic.

While there are articles repeating again and again about the importance of hugging, and its stress buffering effect, there are not much, which discusses when it will work.

Let us take the picture below.

Would this hugging result in the same effect for everyone? Sometimes, hugging might be a best opportunity for backstabbing literally and figuratively writing/speaking, as the saying goes, "asked for a hug, and got a stab instead".

This is not to question the scientific findings, but to point out psychological and social aspects to these studies.
