If I had to guess I would say your parents are probably not American and were brought up in an environment vastly different than the one you grew up in. They probably grew up in the kind of house where their parents also didn’t hug much. The warm hugginess is very much an American thing. On the other hand you should know that there are people who don’t like touching or being touched but can still be very warm loving people. There are people who are overly touchy and their hugs and kisses are meaningless. If someone hugs everyone they meet how much will you value the hug?
