Hello,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but it does deal with people so I hope so, if not please tell me where to go.

I have a touch anxiety, I think it stems from my chilhood, but I can hardly handle being touched. I can mostly endure it for the few moments it takes to hug family or such but otherwise I get really anxious igf people touch me or are to close to me.. I don't like people being In my personal space.

Also I don't really do well with touching people, I am able to touch my partner but through a bit of effort.

Is there a name for this and is there anything I can do to help myself.

Thank you.
