Hmm, question: Do you shake hands with people? I’m always big on this, though people rarely do it for me. Though I’m not big on people touching me (well, people I get bad vibes off anyway), I’ve always liked to shake and feel what kind of energy I get off them. Some people have weak hands, others have strong ones, it really tells a lot about them. Just curious.

[size=100]1. Do you normally shake hands with elderly people?
With elderly men, usually, most seem to expect it. I live in Florida, which means looooooots of elders to shake with. Older women seem to shake less often, but a lot still do it. Either way, both genders accept it if I start with my hand out.
2. Adults?
Almost always for adults, especially businessmen who will usually start it if I don’t. They’re the kind of people who expect it though, so it doesn’t really count.
3. Teens?
For teens it’s different. Most kids my age do more of a slide shake or knuckles to friends instead of an official handshake. Boys do this more than girls at my school, and not many actually do it properly.
Haha, I remember a few weeks ago I was meeting my friend’s girlfriend for the first time. My hand was held out and there was silence, as if she didn’t even know what to do. Overall it was pretty hilarious when she finally realized that she should take it, since I didn’t take it down. (I never do, that way they look stupid and not me. )
I do the slider with most people, if not the official shake. Makes me feel closer to them. ^^
4. Children?
Meh… kids. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don’t. Really depends on who they are, a lot of little ones don’t like it when you do that. I never used to, I don’t think, but I used to be really quiet anyway.
5. Do you have a soft handshake or a bone crusher?
My hand usually clamps on pretty hard, though I never mean to do it that roughly.
This is probably because I was a bit of a bully in elementary school, having no friends and all. Instead of being caught fighting I’d give, ‘The Killer Handshake.’ It’d teach them a lesson without getting me in trouble.
Of course I have friends now, I don’t do it anymore.
6. Do you prefer soft or hard shakes?
Medium to hard is good. Light ones always make me feel as if the other person has something wrong with them. Like they’re super-fragile and the slightest touch will break them… eep.
7. Are you the one to usually start them or does the other person stick their hand out first?
I usually start it, with the exception of some people, of course. I vibe them over first to make sure it’s applicable, a good idea actually, but if I think they’re good with it I’ll be the one. The day with the girl from above I was feeling especially tired and worn out, so I forgot to/didn’t care to do a quick check.[/size]
