Why don’t AA batteries shock you?

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

Yes, the voltage is just too weak, along with your high skin resistance.

On the other hand, if you were to put the battery in your mouth, you would definitely feel a slight shock. This is even more noticeable with a 9v battery.
