Inappropriate Gestures

Part of our daily lives is to communicate with other people, but there seems to be some who are better at it than others. I know there have been times in your life when someone has done something or said something that just doesn't seem right. It sure has happened to me a number of times. I think it might just be that since we're all raised in different ways what might seem okay might be wrong to others. For us Hispanics it is custom to greet with a kiss on the cheek and say your goodbye's like that, but as I've grown up I've noticed how people might feel uncomfortable or just do not like it at all. To me it feels inappropriate when a guy first meets you and he hugs you as a way to say hello. I don't know it could just be that I'm not the touchy feely type, but when I see it I don't think it's okay. The lack of eye contact just always looks disrespectful and plain wrong.
