A ACTUAL ELECTRIC SHOCK!!!! 😕
Can someone explain this to me? @ponderable you are
the resident nerd. Please tell me why this happens, please.
What you doing is separtaing charges, they unite as soon as they can. The voltage can be considerable (you can make small lightnings), but the current is low, so not much danger of an actual electrocution.
You can "ground" yourself, by taking a conductive metall pin and contact the ground contact of your electrical system (or a metallic doorframe or whatever). You can also put a nail through your rubber boot.

Maybe it is a sign of real love, love toward yourself.
