I hate that shit. Whenever someone shakes my hand, I just want to wash it.

You've mentioned you have a fear of germs, right? Just do what Howie Mandel does and fistpump everyone.

I maybe said that a year or two ago, once. I'm surprised you remember.
But handshakes are more than that. They're kind of eww.

I am one of your many stalkers watching your every move, waiting for the right moment to put in motion my plans for your grandiose downfall.

Yes. But that's just because I have avian bone syndrome.

Have you ever thought about the difference between just being comfortable with someone, and being really comfortable with someone?
Now, I know there's strangers that you don't feel comfortable with, and then there's some people that you meet, and even if you don't know them that well, you mysteriously experience a sense of comfort.
And who knows what triggers it? I mean, you don’t even know why you feel comfortable around them: it could be some quality about them, it could be their voice, it could be the rhythm - at which - they speak. It could be something else that you’re not even sure of.
And when you experience that sense of well-being, (deep breath) then maybe - maybe - the more you feel at ease with a person, the more you can permit yourself to do things that you wouldn’t do around strangers. Like, like, you might be able to say things that are on your mind, as you relax around the person you’re with. (Deep breath)
But now, with me, I find, ah, that there’s also a deeper level of comfort. It’s the comfort you feel when you’re with someone who you feel extremely secure around, as if you’ve known this person for a long time. Me, now, how I see it is—it allows you to just let go completely and deeply relax when you’re in this person’s presence. Because some quality about them lets you get this sense of reassurance about them.
To me, now, one thing that I, that I find - and maybe you find this too, I dunno - it’s, it’s like when you listen to them, what they say becomes a lot more fascinating because you feel so calm around them that it allows your imagination to take off, and think of all the fun things you’d like to be doing with them, to the point that you can plan out the time in your future to do all these things with them, these fun things, that you just really would enjoy doing with them.
Now, with me, that’s just how I see it.

I love handshakes. I hate it when someone won't shake my hand.

If you jump off a tall building, I promise you that you'll never need to worry about handshakes again.
I strongly urge you to consider doing it, for your own sake.

Leonidas probably has a limp hand grip. You'd probably scare him if you shook his hand.

If it were up to me, handshaking wouldnt happen because it's unsanitary. though it doesnt bother me personally to do so.

Probably not as dirty as holding hands with a girl.

This.
I kind of imagine its like handling a dead fish, but with added autism.
If leonidas doesnt like handshakes, imagine how the other person feels.

That's because you're socially inept and have some serious OCD issues that you desperately need therapy for. Good luck ever getting a friend, let alone a woman.
