I'm'a tell y'all a big personal secret, because this is the netz and I'll probably never see any of you, but... I kinda wanna check out going to church again. I'm not a dumb kid anymore, they can't fool me again, and there may be some benefit to joining a social institution, even if I don't do the dogma. My biggest reservation is that I am apprehensive about strangers wanting to hug me. I've always been incredibly uncomfortable with that. But maybe it's better now, post-covid?
@027ae4d1 -- If somebody looks like they are going to hug you, put your hand out to shake hands with them instead. Seems to work for me.

@027ae4d1 if you shout "stranger danger" and freak out, nobody will want to shake hands or hug you anymore.
