job interview? hold their hand to establish an emotional connection
getting robbed? hold the robbers hand to let them know youre human too
giving birth? hold babys hand and pull it out
i hold my own hand basically like i have my hands clasped in front of me 90% of the time... but a man once made fun of me for it n like tried to make me keep my hands apart which i literally just couldn't do so now i'm forever self conscious about it
i try to stop doing it sometimes but it's so hard lmao. i only naturally have my hands apart when i'm suuuper relaxed n comfortable, so basically never
