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.
I dislike being touched and I react the same way as Sam does. It sucks and kinda hurts because of the overstimulation, but it doesn’t debilitate Me. Just makes life a bit harder. My partners are very kind and ask permission before touching Me for intimate times.
