Electricity always needs somewhere to go. Generally you can refer to where it goes, as a “Ground” I said “This is extremely simplified” for a reason.

I don’t actually understand what you’re trying to say, all I was saying is that Electricity is indeed going to take all possible paths, until it finds the one with the least resistance, which is what I believe you said just in a different way. You are a part of that circuit for a very miniscule, brief second, upon adding yourself (touch).
