Dear #french speaking people

I have trouble translating a linguisting #joke into french because in french when you negate something you put the "nes" before the verb and… well I show you:

I'd like to print a post-pandemic-shirt with the Text "Hug me, I'm scared of nothing, but I like being hugged" but everything beyond "scared" is smaller, like this:

Hug me, I'm scared

of almost nothing but I like being hugged

I'd like to have the same pun on the backside of the shirt in french.

When I translate it it becomes "Hug me I'm not scared of anything" ("Tiens-moi, je n'ai peur de presque rien, j'aime juste être tenu dans tes bras." says deepl). But because of the n' the whole joke breaks.

I'm a total beginner in french, that's why I ask you… can I do something like

Serre-moi, j'ai peur

de presque rien, j'aime juste être serré dans tes bras.

? Because I tried

Hug me, I'm scared of everything but I like being hugged
and this translates (with deepl) to
Serre-moi dans tes bras, j'ai peur de tout mais j'aime qu'on me serre dans ses bras.
and then I just replaced tout by rien but I'm affraid that's just bad french.

Can someone help me to translate/transport hat pun?

Geniuses: Some Refurbished iPhone 6 Pluses Have Touch Disease New Out of the Box

[…]

 

The Geniuses I’ve spoken to explain that #Apple’s silence on the issue isn’t just hurting customers, it’s also making it much more difficult for Geniuses to do their job. If a Genius officially puts a replacement #phone sale through on Apple’s internal system before noticing that the replacement phone is also #broken, Apple’s system won’t immediately allow Geniuses to swap it with a third, functioning device.

 

“If you put it in the [Mobile Genius point of sale system] and can't give them that #shitty 6 Plus that's doing the same thing as their device they came into fix, you personally have to hand them a different one than the #paperwork they signed says, and do another swap through Mobile Genius the next day,” a Genius told me. The customer, of course, doesn’t have to pay for a second replacement phone because it’s within the 90-day #warranty period, but essentially they’re being given off-the-books replacement devices for at least 24 hours until the #system is updated.

 

More pressing, customers aren’t generally #happy when they’re asked to spend $329 to replace a phone that they didn’t cause to #break.

 

“In order for you to get a #promotion or #raise as a Genius, they look at customer #satisfaction reviews. With this, you know a lot of times it’s not going to be a good encounter. When your yearly review comes up, your #manager will say, ‘Well, you had a lot of #negative reviews,’” a Genius told me. “And then you say ‘Yeah, they had a phone that they did #nothing to and we asked them to #pay $329 to replace it.’ It affects your #career at Apple.”
