minus-squareObinice@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·11 months agoUK: Neither, there’s handshakes for professional introductions and such but if I’m greeting someone normally, a friend, family member, etc, I’m not trying to touch them at all.
minus-squareCashewNut@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 months agoI agree with the above but will add I’m a minor oddity in that I’ll find any excuse to give people hugs unless it’s formal. I’m a very ‘huggy’ person.
