I like talking to new people at cafes and gatherings. But I don’t like it when people touch me

      It could be done with numbers rather than colors for all combinations. Would be easy to base it in binary and set bits for specific criteria, then represent it in decimal for easy recognition.
      Although, that would be a problem for recognition on first sight, so probably a stupid idea.

      Anyway, to make an example (with some random stuff to add more examples), let’s say it goes from most to least significant:

      • Hugging
      • Handshakes
      • High-fives
      • Fist bumps
      • Talking
      • Small talk only
      • Drinks alcohol
      • Prefers drinking water in all settings
      • Has dangerous food allergies
      • Has celiac disease
      • Lactose intolerant
      • Vegan
      • Vegetarian
      • Primarily a Windows user
      • Primarily a Linux user
      • Primarily a MacOS user
      • Primarily a *BSD user
      • Primarily other OS user

      Anyway, just for some random example.
      Following that, my mask would be 000110010000001000 (hugging being on the most significant side - left) making 25,608.

      Yeah, no. I did not simplify it at all…
      Maybe a yes/no-colored grid that you would wear?

    I want one like “my body language is not communicating what is conventionally understood. Please ask me in clear verbal language how I feel about a situation.”

    Random touching is not my thing. But a solid hug or high-five from a cherished one is a daymaker.

    I’m curious, where the first image originates from.

    I’d grab the green one ♥️ (dunno would I regret it later)
