Nah! It's a 'single member forest'. Or a 'houseplant', if you rearrange the typical construction of the meaning of the word.

careful with reaching because it can get you into trouble with HR and the law on a harassment claim

Some are normal terms, but their recent over use by grifters and weasels ruined many of these for me.

”You are not wrong” has a specific meaning, and that meaning is not “you’re right!” ;D
Not sure what you mean about the others; they’re perfectly normal words.

I once had a cat who would come and paw at me for stuff. Or if I was sleeping, walk across my face to get my attention. I think those definitely count as “reaching out”! :D
