If you know other hotlines that provide support that are not on this list, feel free to contact a BlogTeam member to add it to this list.
Regarding replies that mention or are about religion: Generally, religion should be avoided when replying to other people to give them hugs, such as stating that you will be praying for them. However, exceptions will be made if the person asking for hugs is asking for prayers from people who practice the same religion as them or if they are open about what religion they practice. Otherwise, people who do not practice the same religion or do not practice any religion should steer clear of providing religion-related comfort if they don’t know if another BlogClanner practices a specific religion.
A note from BlogTeam: From now on, we will no longer moderate comments on the Hug Page that go into specific detail about events. Instead, commenters will post in a vague manner, such as “I’m having a bad day, I could really use some hugs”, and other BlogClanners are welcome to provide comfort and support. This change is not because of any specific event or person, but because it is extremely difficult to mitigate questionable comments and determine what parts of certain comments are suitable to moderate, as well as making sure that replies with advice are in no way harmful to the original poster or others. If you ever feel like you need advice about a serious situation, you are welcome to reach out to BlogTeam, because your health and safety is our top priority. However, no one on BlogTeam is or has ever been a mental health professional in any way, and all we can do is provide advice. We implore you to always reach out to a trusted adult or hotline (listed above) about a situation that worries you. You are still welcome to come to the Hug Page if you need any hugs or comfort from your BlogClan peers, but the cause of your distress can no longer be explained——no matter the situation. Thank you so much for understanding <3

Aw hugs! 🤗
Slight update!
The nosebleeds are continuously happening (had 2 today, 1 right before an important event) so if any of you have any nosebleed management tips, I’d appreciate it 😀
I just keep a stack of tissues with me and try not to rub my nose too much.
*Hugs*
Here’s a batch of freshly baked cupcakes for you: 🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁
Sounds rough…
Try applying healing ointment or Vaseline inside your nose with a cotton swab, works pretty well to heal the skin and keep it moisturized.
*hugs*
*hugs* I’m so sorry, Osprey. I can relate and it absolutely sucks, my nose is literally so dry that the slightest rub causes it to bleed and its so annoying. I hope you feel better soon though <3

Same Clow, it’s scary but we can only hope for the best. *hugs*
We are going to get though this together *hugs*
My family got this cat for a week and it hates me even tho I haven’t been anything but nice to it…..
Now my whole family is bonding w the cat while I’m crying in my room because it runs off the moment I get up…..why does it hate me
The thing is I was really looking forward to getting this cat
*hugs*
Maybe try giving it treats, or just putting your hand out when it comes in the room so it can sniff your hand? Or when it comes in, just don’t make any moves to pet it, so that it doesn’t see you as a threat, and and after a couple of days, try to slowly pet it. I hope you can start bonding with it soon!
I’m so sorry for you Snow Snow!
Be patient with the cat and try not to stay in its way!
*Hugs*
*Hugs*
*Hugs*
*Hugs*
i’ve never had a cat before due to my mom being severely allergic, but just try and take it slow with the cat. it could just take some time! try and let it come to you slowly, have some treats ready for it, and be gentle with your movements. just be patient, some animals take time with different people ^^
*Hugs* ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖
Love Is Love
Unfortunately, you can’t force an animal to love you, but you can do everything you can to build a bond
Bonds don’t happen in the first week, they happen over months, and you have time to get to know your kitten!
You want the kitten to build positive associations with you, like ‘Snowo = Play’ or ‘Snowo = Food’ or something. To build these connotations, go down and start playing with the kitten on a regular basis, or always being the one to feed the kitten. Baby talk to them, stroke them, and once they feel comfortable, pick them up. Hope this helps!
Also, even if you’re upset, maybe avoid going to your room when everyone is with the kitten 😀
It may feel embarrassing, but pets can often sense when you are sad, and pets are good sources of comfort. On top of that, the more time you spend around your cat, the more they will be used to you, making stronger friendships 😀
*Hugs* That’s happened to me too with dogs before (where dogs will go to my sister and, like, completely ignore me and go out of their way to avoid me), but just let the cat grow more comfortable around you and adapt to the new environment, so just be patient :). I hope you can form a strong bond with them!
*Hugs*
*Hugs*
*Hugs*
I’m sorry Snowo.. *hugs*
(this is why dogs are better)
(Please keep in mind that ‘well this wouldn’t have happened with a dog’ probably isn’t exactly what Snowo needs to hear right now.)
Love Is Love
(Snowo and I are close, and I’m sure she knew I meant it lightheartedly. There wasn’t really any need to interfere)
I really have no idea what to say in response. I thought I was being nice, but was I actually not? Did everyone besides me realize you were being lighthearted when you said that?
(Mods? Was I right to say something, or is Nightwind correct, and I shouldn’t have interfered?)
Love Is Love
It could’ve easily been read both ways, as Nightlily below demonstrated. Personally, I did interpret it more as a joke when I modded it. You aren’t necessarily wrong for saying something, you just were missing the context for why Nightwind felt it was okay to say that (i.e. that they were close and it was more likely to be said in a lighthearted tone between them). You’re not at fault for not knowing the extent of the relationship between Snowo and Nightwind, so ultimately your comment just came off as slightly unnecessary but with good intentions. I’m sure that Nightwind knows that no harm was intended ^^
Thank you, Embix.
Love Is Love
That’s not exactly what I meant… but sure
(my dog bites me if he doesn’t get attention and my cats bring me their toy mouse as a present (: (just saying))
i dont have a cat because like my entire family is allergic, but maybe just idk like be really quiet around it and maybe start by being in the same room at first and then ig just get closer and closer idk i dont really have much csat experience

I’m super sorry *hugs*
That is so sad. Hopefully it will change. I want a cat, but I’m pretty sure I’ll never convince my parents.

Here, have some muffins (they REALLY need to make a muffin emoji): 🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁
*hugs*
*hugs* when we got our two loving kitties, Sipi and Morris, Morris, the more timid one ran away whenever I stepped into the room as well.
I gained his trust from being very calm around him and being very nice.
It maybe took about a month (?) to gain his trust enough to swing my hands around wildly next to him without him running away 🙂
(He probably became scared of me, because I once accidentally almost fell on top of him)
*hugs* Snow, I’m sure the cat doesn’t hate you, but maybe it feels your coming off too strong because cats aren’t social creatures like dogs and don’t like much attention. Just be patient and calm around the cat and show it no interest until it starts warming up to you. <3

Long story short I really hate myself right now and I could use some hugs and maybe some encouraging words?
*Hugs* Just remember that you’re awesome the way you are <3

You are EPIC. You’re LEGENDARY. You’re BRUNO. And nobody else in the universe is quite like you <3

Hating yourself is maybe the most childish thing we all do even when we’re older, because we just can’t accept the fact that we aren’t supposed to be perfect. I’m not saying you’re childish. I’m saying that at one point of our life we need to stop hating the way we feel, the way we think or the way we are. And if you’re asking, I sometimes hate myself too. You just need to find the positive light not only at the end, but also in every moment!
Hope this helps!

Constella, you are so so epic, kind, mature, brave, moral, funny, friendly, powerful, smart, quick-thinking and you light up so many people’s days 😀
I’m not saying it for no reason, I’m staying it because it’s true, so thank you for being an amazing BlogClan member and making so many people’s days better
Brunisimo Madrigal, you are the most amazing, most incredible, most extraordinary person in the universe, and that’s just facts. If you don’t agree, I will personally Will Smith some sense into you <3
Love ya, Tio <3
Don’t hate yourself, because you are stuck with yourself so you should just appreciate yourself.
*hugs* You are amazing, smart, and kind, and you make the blog twice as good just by being around.

You are awesome just the way you are !*hugs*
I’m forced to sit beside the most frustrating person in the world for the WHOLE. WEEK. And he’s REALLY annoying; it’s tiring to hear his nonsense all day long. Hugs and maybe advice?
*hugs*
There was this guy in my orchestra too, and I had to sit next to him for a whole quarter! He was going way to fast and louder than he was supposed to, and then my orchestra teacher blamed me for it. And then on top of it he keeps trying to talk to me and just keeps ranting nonsense too. What I did was try to stay away from him as much as possible, and when I was forced to be near him, I just said yeah and nodded, but mainly tuned myself out from listening. Sorry this was kinda long and ranty, hope this helps!
*Hugs*
There’s this guy in my class who one time just began cackling with laughter very, very loudly during the middle of our lunch break, and everyone in the class was super annoyed, but all you really can do is turn around and ignore them. Tune him out and don’t let him get to you! <3 Annoying people can be so tough to deal with sometimes.

I once had to do an important assignment with a really annoying guy, and I did have to do most of the assignment whilst he looked at Dwanye ‘The Rock’ Photoshops
I guess maybe try and occasionally make conversation, or try and ignore him and talk to someone else near you 😛
*hugs*
*Hugs*
Here’s some Jello for you (they need to make a jello emoji also): 🍮🍮🍮🍮🍮🍮
*hugs*
i can heavily relate to this; my school is full of highly irritating people (they often make noises that they can’t help) and my school bus driver is extremely cringey (she is constantly singing her heart out in a cringeworthy manner to 80s music and is always doing silly voices to try and make the younger children laugh)
wait why did the pride flag in my username disappear?
Huh, I modded it and have no clue. It was either like that when it was modded or glitched? I added it back for you. 🙂
*hugs* *hugs*
*hugs* Maybe you can ask someone to swap seats? I don’t have much info on the situation but I assume that you were assigned to be next to him and maybe could ask to be moved somewhere? <3
Cat update:she now likes me but she likes my closet even better so now if I have to pet her half the time I have to really stretch up because she had to pick the top shelf 🙂
Yay! Good to hear that she likes you now. Bad luck she always chooses the top shelf 😛
aw cute
yay!!!!!!
That sounds good that you’re bonding! Hope that you have many amazing adventures in the future as you get to know each other better ☺️
Also, sorry if my advice earlier was bad! The only pets I’ve ever had are goldfish and dogs, and I have no socialising skills with cats (they all probably want to murder me haha)
Congrats! I’m really happy for you!
Yay!! That’s awesome! Too bad she prefers the top shelf, though-
😛
Yay! 😀
Great! 😀
Thats amazing to hear Snow! I knew she’d warm up to you <3
I need hugs rn, because my so called “bff” says she doesn’t hate me but thinks I’m annoying and is always mad at me for some reason.
(I hope this isn’t too detailed)
Someone who doesn’t seem to want you around isn’t someone you want to be devoting time and attention to. Maybe try to talk it out.
*hugs* I’m really sorry.
Sending many hugs ♥️
If you have other friends that aren’t affiliated with her, maybe try speaking to them
*hugs*
if she thinks that way about you then she most definitely isn’t a “bff”
*hugs*
I have a friend like that too. I’m always nervous that she’s mad at me because she seems to think I’m annoying or something. For me, it helped to have another friend you can confide in. Even if your friend doesn’t want to be your friend, you can have someone else who actually does enjoy being with you.
(remember, anyone who breaks your heart doesn’t deserve your heart)
That is so true, because that friend has caused me lots of pain. I did actually confide in a friend, and that friend suggested confronting, but I shared secrets with the “bff” so… yeah. Thanks for the advice though!
*Hugs* If they act like that it probably means that they aren’t a great friend. *Hugs*
<33
*hugs* maybe just be away from her for a bit?
*lots of hugs* I’m so sorry about that. I also have a similar problem, and I’d advise to either stay away from her (for now) or vent to another reliable friend and ask for advice. I’m not good at advising, but I hope you feel better <3
You should find a new friend, because someone who thinks your annoying constantly is not someone who you want to be your friend.
*hugs*
*hugs* I don’t think that that’s how you should be treated by your “bff”, and it sounds like it would be bad on your mental health. I think you should distance yourself from her and find a better friend until she realizes shes being a not so very good friend. <3
Hi. I would really appreciate some hugs rn because my grandma’s having some health issues. thanks for your support <3

Sending many hugs <3
*hugs* I thought the coyote story was real tho 😛
*hugs*
That scared me so bad cuz my uncle recently got attacked by some coyotes out in his farm, so it wasn’t really funny to joke about. But I hope your brothers ankle gets better *hugs*
Guys I need big hugs right now. Me and a friend are in a big argument and it’s bad. I know I’ve been having lots of friendship problems lately.
*bucket of hugs*

*hugs* It’s okay, just don’t add fuel to the fire and take some time away from them to cool down. I hope everything gets better <3
