It's a very important principle for me and I've gotten hurt because of it many times before. I still don't think like I should abandon it though.

I'll just say this: you should never get into a situation where you could inflict pain, that you know yourself so well, on a person you care about.

Since this a feels thread I'll also share one short story from this year's Otakon.

As I was walking out the front gate before the con's closure on day two, one of the security staffers asked me if I could hold on for a second before leaving.

He asked me for a quick hug and said that the con's atmosphere had him really overwhelmed for the past two days. I obliged and I was still surprised someone would ask me, of all people, for a hug.

I'm a tall, built dude with wide shoulders that looks like they club seals for a hobby.
