Reply to comment by ZenHun in LPT: when shaking hands with someone elderly. Wait I till they apply pressure then gently match it or use less pressure. by Cephelapod

I give strong handshakes to dudes with robust hands who work in mechanics, construction, and heavy military equipment. Some of their shakes are quite the crushing kind, so it quickly became a habit to give those types of shakes in kind.

One day, I offered an older lady a handshake. Out of habit, I gave her an enthusiastic, but crushing shake. I realized my mistake during the shake because her hand was frail and limp, and I was so sorry. I felt horrible. I apologized end-on-end.

I give tough handshakes that I give army vets and mechanics. One day, I offered an older lady a handshake. Out of habit, I gave her a crushing grip shake and I felt so bad because her hands were limp and fragile. I apologized to her profusely. I didn't mean to crush her hand. I hope she was ok.
