My one Aries female friend told me she have an issue with anyone touching her or holding hands. This was quite interesting since the night before when I was out in the pub with my newly found Aries, we had a whole discussion about how we get annoyed when people touch us. Even I have the same issue. I just dont like anyone touching me unless they are so close to me. So far I used to think its probably bcoz of my orthodox upbringing and I did took several efforts to get over it.
A lot of people have Haphephobia, and most who do also have a fear of "places", called Agoraphobia.
As with any phobia, the cause is a protective mechanism in the unconscious mind. With Haphephobia (fear of touching) is normally triggered in adulthood, stemming from an event in childhood, which caused emotional trauma from being touched. Many, many children who were sexually molested suffer from this phobia as adults, or if they saw someone beaten, killed or, any kind of "touching" trauma.
Freud hypothesized that it's associated with Obssessive/Compulsive Disorder, which he also made the assertion (relatively) that OCO stems from childhood obssession with masturbation. Due to taboo programming in children by adults NOT to touch their genitals, a phobia was implanted into the psyche which leads to being obssessive, and a reverse pschological phobia of a FEAR of touching.
Freud was a taurean. I dont buy psychology stuff from earth born people. They always attribute all these as disorders. He said schizophrenia and now most Geminis make themselves believe they are schizo bcoz they hear schizo more often than gemini.
lol... I dont have any fear of touching. Even when I was a kid I hated the idea of people tickling me or anyones hand in my body. I never allowed anyone to put their hand over my shoulder unless its when posing for a photograph. But I used to wrestle with my gemini cousin sister and i never had any issues with her. It was quite in my same frequency mode of touching. Then after I grew up, I always kept a distance from people and always slipped away from someone trying to hold my hands...Took me around 3 weeks to kiss my gf even after living together under the same roof and talking to each other on a daily basis for hours. My libran female colleague used to grab my butt while all of a sudden and i used to feel ouch!!!
Now I think I remain in my friendship mode bcoz of a subconscious fear of taking physical advances towards my female friends whom am interested in. Am not yet sure if its fear but somehow i successfully avoid every single moment where I could have build a mood to start kissing and i suddenly react with a whole new talk about a different subject. was observing myself way too much last weekend when i was out with Aries. Even she kept the same distance and I was wondering if it was the same fear of making a mistake or not. Anyway now am bloody confused.
This is an interesting subject. I do not like strangers touching me or getting too close. It does really bother me if someone gets too touchy, feely with me when I don't want it. Very rarely have I ever been that way with anyone. It has to mean something for me before I can get to that point.
I am not really sure about everyone else but with me (I'm an Aries girl(, I don't like people getting in my personal space. We are not affectionate or I guess you can say, romantic-like, at first. We have to warm up to people for them to be able to do those things. I know with my ex-husband, when we were dating, he was laying on my lap and got and kissed me. I rubbed it off immediately...lol. It was like a violation. We do things like that on our own terms.
