I hugged a lot last week because I was seeing almost all my relatives. It's great. There can be benefits with non-loved ones as well, especially the one about self-esteem. An attractive friend of my aunt gave me a hug when we were leaving a place, and that made me feel surprisingly good and confident.
No, I try to get ones from the closest wild population, which is about 2km away across the river. I have about 40 Nikaus from 1000s of seeds that I threw around the gullies here years ago. After about a year the ground was carpeted with them, but summer dry conditions quickly thinned them down to the ones that were growing in soaks or springs. The biggest ones are only about 5 ft high and trunkless, in sharp contrast to ones around the house which I transplanted from the seedlings in the gully-they have about a foot of trunk and are about 15ft high, thanks to lots of TLC.
I've got one Rhopalostylis baueri, which was sold as a Norfolk Nikau rather than a Kermadec Nikau. I need to transplant it as it doesn't get enough water. It hasn't really started growing quickly yet, but the difference in form is already obvious.
Yeah R. baueri is obvious in its differences to R. sapida, even though some sources state the only difference is seed size... My baueri is in the shade, not sure how it will cope when it grows into the sun as my Bangalow got some damage to one of its fronds last week when we had the hot spell, even though my back garden only gets sun for a few hours in the afternoon...
I got hugged very few times as a child. At best, I'd hear the word "very good". If I ever end up married, I'm hoping my future wife will hug me at least a few times every year. But that's probably never gonna happen.
Tell me this, why am I expected to show love & compassion when everyone ignores or treats me badly ? Yes, I am weird and eccentric in comparison to most Americans and Europeans. But like everyone else, I too feel the need to be liked. Currently, the only person who likes me, is me. But people now criticize me of displaying a very selfish image

Wallowing in self-pity is one of the quickest ways to drive people away.

How do I get out of it ? Therapy didn't help me all that much.
Yes, it helped me with certain other things. But when people bring up the topics of hugs & relationship, I either get regressive or infuriated and borderline ferocious.
