Hugs or touching make me uncomfortable too. I get all the physical affection I want/need from my husband, and anyone who forces a hug on me automatically makes me uneasy around them. That sensation like fire is spot on; it's actually an uncomfortable burning to me. I'm very much aware the entire time someone's touching me, wondering when it will stop. BTW never been abused.

Those who experienced sexual assault knows that this is not a joke to be afraid of touching...

I never forced my child to hug family or friends. Only greet. It should be their choice if they want to or not. It teaches them to follow their own instincts.

Can we just agree that social distancing is the best thing ever for those of us who hate physical contact? My bubble has never been so respected.

ferfer, I feel very sorry for anyone suffering from this fear. How awful not to be able to touch or be touched. I think it is a basic human need.

I love to be touched but also know that people who have been sexually abused or are autistic don't handle touching well at all. Debby

I used to be that way. With lots of therapy I was able to overcome it. May this give hope to others.

ButtOrScotch, If I ever want to give someone a hug, I always ask first, "Can I give you a hug?" - out of respect for those who - for any reason - don't want a hug from me (or possibly from anyone who they know and feel most comfortable and safe with). Always ask... and respect their answer.

Many of my friends think I have haphephobia but I don't. It's not that I fear to be touched it's just I don't like being touched.

I just learned that to make a question your favorite, you must scroll back up and tap "Add to favorite". All this time I was tapping the thumbs up. Who knew? Lol
