I don’t know what it is called but I have it really bad. I always get really scared if someone is about to touch me because they might be dirty or they haven’t washed their hands. I’m not germaphobic because I touch dirty stuff like doors or whatever all the time with no fear. It’s just when people touch me. What is this phobia called?
