Gravitational force is never truly zero. If it has mass, it is pulling at you, though it may be so close to zero that you don't realize it.

It is the weakest force, but there’s also a force named the weak force. It is many orders of magnitude stronger than gravity. But it’s not as strong as the strong force.

Technically, they're weak nuclear and strong nuclear forces, but yeah, we love confusing names in physics. Like quark flavours, which include top and bottom
