That is awesome.... was it weird at all to do that?

The idea of holding anyone's hand is so anxiety provoking for me and I'm unsure why I feel like it would probably be helpful/healing like hugs have been but I feel like I'd be too scared to do it. It sounds dumb but it feels "wrong" to me to touch people.
