Just started playing Death Stranding and the main character has it! Although the game calls it aphenphosmphobia. And I’m not sure it’s a phobia, since it’s a very rational fear for him.
I also dislike being touched, and I’m glad to have a word for it. Previously I just used the word autism, which is more accurate, but less specific.
It means more than just excessive fear. I have agoraphobia. It doesn’t cause panic attacks, it causes a shutdown for me and stresses me out if I know I have to go somewhere. I won’t be hyperventilating, but I will be struggling for force myself to Do The Thing.
For me, the agoraphobia is closer to the second meaning here.
