There is definitely some truth to the statement, "Yep, even the weird boys are afraid of their emotions." Sometimes people feel something, but they are afraid of how someone else will take it, so they don't act upon it. Junior wants to act upon his feelings, but he thinks Gordy will think Junior is weird. When Junior says, "I had the sudden urge to hug Gordy," it shows what he wanted to do. Gordy would not have felt the same, and so that is why Junior didn't hug him.
Some people feel what they want and what they feel like doing but they think that other people will either not take it seriously or just change what they think of the other person. Junior and Gordy have this relationship but Gordy is afraid that his personal record will be changed by Junior that is why Gordy didn't hug Junior back.
