Are we all charged?

From Khan Academy;

"Matter is made up of tiny particles that can have positive, negative, or neutral charge.
Neutral just means that the electric charge is zero,
not positive or negative. When you add up all these charges most objects tend to have a net charge that is about neutral.
Otherwise we'd be attracted to all sorts of things."

Q. So most objects have a net charge that is APPROXIMATELY equal? Does this mean that most (all?) objects are actually postively or negatively charged even if only by a small amount? And if so, does this mean that you and I are charged and therefore have a force of attraction (or repulsion) on most (or all?) of the objects around us?
