Added 2023-09-25 15:00:03 +0000 UTCThe first of my comfort series! I'm excited to see how this series goes. I'm not expecting it to get a crazy amount of views but hopefully it helps someone :) Enjoy the description!
Hey guys this is the first in a comfort series I’m doing so if you have suggestions of things you’d like to have comfort audios for please lmk in the comments!
According to an article from the Cleveland Clinic, Haphephobia is an intense, irrational fear of being touched. It is different from hypersensitivity, which is physical pain associated with being touched. People with haphephobia feel extreme distress over the thought of being touched. This anxiety can lead to physical symptoms like nausea, vomiting or panic attacks
You are on a trip to your local museum with a group of your friends. Usually your friends are good about not touching you but for some reason they feel the need to touch your shoulder and grab your arms from time to time during the trip. It was making you extremely uncomfortable, and you tried to speak up for yourself, but they brushed it off by laughing and saying, ‘you’re too sensitive!”
Your best friend was busy looking at the displays in the museum and didn’t notice. Until she accidentally touched you herself. Then she starts to notice your pained expression and steps in to help…
Written by: Me, I do not have haphephobia so I tried my best to be comforting, open to constructive criticism :)
