#haptophobie

You don't look asexual!

What did you expect me to look like? Unwashed in a potato sack?

I'm a f-ing fashion designer! What do people expect me to look like?

Oh! And my occupation apparently also means I can't be autistic! Because sewing and art can't possibly be a special interest for autistic people!

Meaning I couldn't possibly have a break down if you try to force me to socialize or f-ing touch me!

Sorry. Needed to rant a little. I just recovered from a severe break down.

Me being touched by someone.

Me: "Please don't touch me. I have haphephobia."

People: "What's that mean?"

Me: I'm scared of being touched.

Reaction children: "Oh. Sorry. I wont do it again."

Had an old white lady touch my hair in a queue in a supermarket not so long ago.

I have severe haphephobia and went straight into a panic attack. Lucky for me my sister's girlfriend was there and went in between us and started to berate that woman.

That woman laughed and didn't even remotely thought what she did was wrong. Then she tried to reach out to touch me again!
