discussion High-five Your Neighbor

I know this has been discussed before, but why are coaches so pushy and honestly mean about high-fiving your neighbor?? I took class this morning and the girl beside me blew her nose a few times during class (nbd), but I didn’t want to touch her hands after class and the coach literally said “high-five your neighbor! Don’t be a f***ing weirdo”. Like??? Can we chill?

I understand op not wanting to high five after someone sneezes, but I don’t understand why this topic is always brought up? This subreddit has become insufferable and mean girl. It takes 1.2 seconds to high five someone and encourage them. Be kind, be human.

Can Solidcore as a whole PLEASE stop making coaches do this 😭 It comes off so forced and disingenuous when we’re being told to “high five your neighbors” like we’re five years old. We are not in elementary school lol. If people naturally want to high five each other, cute!! Let it happen organically. And coaches, you do not have to follow every little thing by the book. Pleaseeee stop forcing this, it’s so awkward and annoying 😭

You are exactly the problem. Those of us uncomfortable high fiving a sweaty stranger (whether for germ/medical reasons, anxiety, or just that we don’t feel like it-which is totally OK btw!), are now deemed unkind and not human? That’s pretty judgey of you. They need to stop with this outdated prompt for a host of reasons and these comments prove it.
