BAD IDEA
If you hug a tree, does it feel?
Trees don’t have feelings, so hugging them is more about you than them.
No, trees don’t feel your hugs because they lack nerves or a brain. They do respond to environmental stimuli like light and touch on a chemical level, but emotions or sensations aren’t on the menu. So hug away if it makes you happy, but don’t expect a cuddle back.
