Wdym "the current cannot pass through you, only voltage" ๐, bro who taught you this.
If you don't exist in the worst case scenario (wet hands, barefoot on wet tiles or sum), you probably have a lot of resistances, skin contact, shoe sole, idk carpet. Since your body has only around 500-1000 ohms (I think) the voltage applied to the body would be way less. If your shoes got 10,000 ohms, they'd get 100 volts and you like 10. This scenario would be 10 milliamps then. Numbers out my ass, but you don't get "voltage, but no current". Except if you manage to raise your body's internal resistance somehow.

Oh maybe you don't live in the US....our homes are made of wood and drywall. We literally never touch ground unless it's a basement or a restroom connected with copper tubing.
No, dude, I'm saying if you don't completed the circuit, there's only potential. You'll only feel the changing potential as a tingling. Only when finally you take your shoes off and step on a wet steel bar that is buried into humid earth then you only then will your circuit be closed and all the various resistances you mentioned come into play. Else you will need two forks, one for each hand.
