We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Both terms are correct. There are a couple names.
Haphephobia is the easiest to pronounce though.
In the game we never really see Sam properly experience it. He just kinda pulls away from Deadman a little and he goes "oh you have a phobia".
The scene where they both cram into the shower to talk about BB should have had Sam on the floor in a fetal position.
But it doesn't. Several characters touch or go to touch Sam and he never reacts with more than an unspoken "pls no".
That you would admit to not knowing this is so humble, I'm touched- AAAAAH
Where is the line between a phobia and not liking something? I also don't like to be touched, I prefer not to be touched but I’m not “afraid” of being touched.
That depends. These days, much of the time when people call something a "phobia" they really just mean "mildly dislike".
Phobias are irrational and excessive fear responses to various things. They are often very extreme and can be life-disrupting for the people that have them, depending on what the phobia is. A phobia for an everyday occurrence can really screw up someone's life and require extensive help to overcome it so they can improve their quality of life.
It means more than just excessive fear. I have agoraphobia. It doesn’t cause panic attacks, it causes a shutdown for me and stresses me out if I know I have to go somewhere. I won’t be hyperventilating, but I will be struggling for force myself to Do The Thing.
For me, the agoraphobia is closer to the second meaning here.

I agree that people really throw the word phobia around. Like OCD, you probably don’t have OCD if you like straight lines and symmetry, everyone likes those things.
Real OCD is a problem.
This knowledge is touching, I'm afraid.
Have you been diagnosed professionally as having autism?
Yes, and as an officially verified autist, I think self-diagnosis is valid. Testing is expensive and isn't worth it for everyone.
How did your doctor determine it's not ADHD, PTSD, or social anxiety?
