This just seems so weird to me. I'd rather let people be people

Humans have mouths and ways to express their comfort level without these passive aggressive colors. I think this is more of an indictment of social media and younger generations not actually learning how to have appropriate social interactions with others in real life.

As people, we have social skills and intelligence, and I feel like this is the deploying those in a great combination to let everybody be comfortable with or without consensual physical contact.
It’s also possible that you meant, “I have no discomfort around this, so I don’t see why it’s worth the trouble.” In which case, ok cool. You’re why we have wristbands.

I see this as a way to not use your social skills and to further disassociate people. I prefer people communicate than wear a sign saying stay away. But to each their own.

I mean... The wrist band IS communication. Not your preferred method and that's fine. I tend to be open to engage in conversation and a handshake, but I will not be the one to initiate. But I also know that some of the associates that our business conferences are incredibly shy, but since attendance was mandatory they're there anyway. I would really appreciate something like this for them. They would engage even though they don't want to because they're afraid of being rude
