You know what pisses me off in America? Shaking hands. I can't stand it. It's just so stupid, and people do it waaaaay too often.
You're supposed to shake hands to seal a business deal, but these days everyone fucking shakes hands all the time.
>Just met someone? Shake his hand. >Saying goodbye? Shake everyone's hand. >Play a sporting match? Shake your competitor's hand.
No matter how polite I am everyone acts offended when I don't want to shake hands. I usually say "I kinda got a cold going on..." when someone extends his hand but this one guy didn't even care. He replied "I'll risk it." so I shook his hand.
I don't know why shaking hands bothers me so much. I guess it feels too personal. I like how the Japanese bow to each other. No physical contact that spreads germs, but a mutual sign of respect instead.

What about "eye contact" ? Am I the only one that is confused as to why people make a big deal about that? It aint easy for me just to be staring at another human being like that, and does kind of seem rude in a way if you think about it. But no I get "look at me" all the time. I can't help not looking.
Jose Collins
OP here. I also dislike extended eye contact. I feel like it's unnatural.
Animals consider eye contact to be an act of aggression, like if you stare at a dog or gorilla in the eyes. It conveys "Hey, I don't trust you enough to take my eyes off you for a split second. You could be a threat."

Yeah I have personal issues with anxiety and stuff so making eye contact for me is never easy. Sometimes I can kind of get away with not by if my head is turned so it's mostly my "left" eye that the person sees since I have optic nerve damage on it so it's "mostly" blind so it's like I'm not really looking at them anyway.

Everyone in this thread is autistic. Literally autistic, I dont mean that as an insult. All the things that you all are describing are signs of autism.
Then again, you're on Sup Forums by your own free will so you probably already knew that
