Greeting can be an awkward yet comical event, but these awkward experiences can also have a significant impact on some people’s self image, resulting in feeling insecure and inferior. How simple physical gestures between two people have a notable influence on our behaviour and our feeling of belonging is fascinating to me, why do we worry about such seemingly mundane tasks?
