i think i finally figured out what my thing with touching is its called haphephobia  i dont have it that bad but its been pretty bad for a while now, a few years or so, and its not going away so i decided to find out whats happeningggg basically if anyone touches me when im not calm i freak out. if i'm with one person i trust then its okay because i know who's doing it, but if its unexpected or someone who im not close to then i really feel gross. my heart starts beating really fast and i usually get goosebumps, and i have to take really deep breaths or i feel like im going to faint.

walking through a school corridor is really quite scary. sitting at the bus stop i nearly always have to concentrate on my breathing. 

its not really to do with germs but its definitely worse if someones hands are sweaty. there's been nothing in my past, it kinda just developed and got worse over about 3 years.

i guess people think im probably just scared easily or something but like its on a different level!!!!! i havent really told anyone, i just kinda get jumpy and nervous if anyone touches me and im not expecting it.

so its definitely not extreme but its there, and its really annoying. 

also im going to a northlane concert in 6 days help me

BEING IN CROWDS IS SO TERRIFYING HOLY SHIT it actually makes me hyperventilate but music helps a lot to distract me so thats good i guess

im sorry for this dumb post but im excited that i figured out what it is!

First Intaglio prints from the quotes project design. Made yesterday in the print workshop. I used black and red oil based inks. I think that the red ink is especially effective as it's a little more macabre. I prefer the wipe on the plate of the red one too.

Chiraptophobia - Fear of being touched

this sounds really terrible but I have had too much physical affection over the past few weeks and am steadily becoming hostile to it.

He hates touching yeah. But she can't help herself.
