Friends of steemit, receive my appreciation, as human beings we need the physical contact of a fellow human being, in case we are a fully social being, it would be difficult to live isolated from others as we come into contact with other people makes us feel recognized, protected and loved.

In indefinite moments we live in communication with other people, using the different communication channels, you imagine you are totally alone, because you can not be detained since they in some way or another communicate with your guardians, people need hugs, and this has a physiological basement:

What do we feel about hugs?

The corpuscles of Meissner that are responsible for receiving the signal of touch and send it to the cerebral cortex. Also, there are mechanoreceptors that can assimilate if something or someone is cold, warm, a caress, tickling, pinching, rough, rough, soft ... Each of the parts of our body, has these receptors - although the hands and lips, they have a greater quantity - and, therefore, they can send an electrical signal to the brain that will be transformed into what we perceive - at a conscious level - as a tickle, a pinch, a caress or an embrace.

When we embrace a person for whom we do not feel sexual attraction or infatuation, we release oxytocin, a hormone that lowers cortisol and adrenaline levels - the so-called "stress hormones" - and makes us feel more relaxed. Likewise, the oxytocin produced serves to strengthen affective bonds and form attachment, that is, the desire to be close to people who are significant to us.
