It's not unusual to touch people at work. Reassuring hand on shoulder for instance for jobs where people can be stressed.

Healthcare practitioners touch people day in and out in places they don't let friends touch.

Let's not make touch and human contact always sexual. We have a need for contact that is just casual as well as a need for intimacy.

Lmao! Not implying, it was part of the job, mandatory even. Nurse's assistant.

But part of the job is interacting with family of the patients, and a bit of human contact goes a long way. Holding a hand, a touch on the shoulder, even a hug when needed. That's the kind of touch I meant.

Well, there were a few instances where family of patients ended up being touched in other ways lol. But not while on duty, and not typically while working for their loved one. Things can get tangled up when you're around someone every day, no matter how hard you work to keep yourself professional only.
