Haphephobia - Tumblr Posts

I hate when people engage in physical contact with me. Get the fuck away from me before slam you into the ground and stomp on your neck. It's fine when I engage it first but when the other person tries to, it disgusts me.

Bonus:

Scars

I’d trade my mental scars for physical ones any day. Physical scars are visible, provable, and understandable. No one will ask a burn victim why they don’t like being touched, their nerves are agitated, it hurts. But haphephobia will result in endless questions and people thinking you’re just being rude, but it hurts , so much

Romance

I have this distorted vision of romance that requires physical intimacy, but honestly I don't want anyone touching me directly. I do wish there was more media out there that explored this, because it would help me come to terms with it. Aki/Angel fanart often shows this, which is nice. Legion also has this aspect for a few episodes, until they throw that out for mindspace sex, ew. Misfits also has this for a few episodes, but I can't relate to the characters at all. I'm even less comfortable with touch when it goes beyond romance, but try explaining that to someone you wanna spend time with.
