If you hold both the + and – with your hand, why doesn’t it shock you? Is it just too weak, or what?

Best way to explain this is with a quick explanation of how electricity moves, and best way to do that is with water analogy. You got a water hose, you pinch it off, the water wants to get out but cant. Water pressure from your spigot isnt really that high, so it just stops and sits there. Now you got a water hose hooked up to the bottom of Hoover Dam. Thats like…a lot of water pressure. You could try to pinch it off if you want, but the water will probably blow right through the hose and through you. In simple terms, Voltage is the water pressure, the higher it is, the more likely the electricity is to blow through something. AA batteries are very low voltage and arent able to blow through the insulating properties of your skin. Fin.
