if it's important to you, that's why you have friends and family.
i'm sure as an adult you can handle not fondling other adults at work, because even if you think 'it's important', you don't know what kind of space other people are in and how they feel about you touching them.
- aaron695 9y agoI assume english is not your first language. Fondling is not even close to the word touching. Fondling is about sexuality. Touching is a physical action. You touch a cup. You touch a dog. You touch a touch screen. You touch someone when you shake their hand. Roughly, you can't fondle a cup. You wouldn't say you fondle a dog, and you won't say you fondle friends and family. (And I do know spaces my workmates are in... as much as family and friends, so should you if you are able. Human beings matter, a workplace is more than money)
- abiox 9y agonot everyone shares this aggressive need for touching that you seem to be describing. if human beings matter to you, hopefully you can see this.
- aaron695 9y agoMy objection is when people in the work place want to shake hands, pat someone on the back, hug someone in distress you want to aggressively forbid it. It's not your thing, and that's totally ok. But putting these values onto other hurts them. Cold workplaces cause mental illness for many people. Forcing your values on other consenting adults if what I disagree with. If you don't want to shake hands, I wouldn't think twice. Stopping others....
