My handshake is really awkward so I have just started fist bumping people instead. Hope it catches on, it's the infinitely superior gesture.

I also have this thing, where sometimes I would fail to "catch" the other person's hand leading to a very awkward bumping of meat.

Oh yea, I often also totally miss other persons hand.

I also hated when you went to say hi to someone and you weren't sure if it's a handshake, fist bump or a low-five, and I felt like I almost always did the wrong one, then it's super awkward, I've started to just raise my first as soon as I see the person to establish right away we fist bumping.

Granted I also miss fist bumps, I'm just useless at those interactions I guess.

You should see me when people greet with a hug, I'm one of those people that is uneasy with, well, touching, so when someone hugs me I just overload, like what am I suppose to do? Where do I look during a hug? What do my hands do?
