Is it normal to hate skin to skin contact?

I hate the idea of people touching me, like even a small tap on a clothed shoulder. I most definitely hate when my skin touches another human's skin. I disturbs me how, in my mind this is how I picture contact, a person's skin cells are mingling with mine on my body. I can't do hand shakes, hugs, etc. Skin cell come off easily so if its really windy one day someone's skin cells will come off and when you breathe in that gust of wind, you have just inhaled another person's organ. So everything just makes it worse when people intend to touch me.

    Speaking of particles did you know that when you go into a restroom and it stinks it's because there are tiny microscopic particles of feces floating in the air? Sleep tight.

        According to Feng Shui you're supposed to put the toilet seat down to flush.

    If someone told me I would be reading a post about inhaling anothes person's organ on IIN, this is not what would come to mind.

    Obviously not normal and possibly harmful to your immune system if you get too crazy with the purell.

    i don't think its normally, i actually think its something serious though. it sounds like anxiety (i suffer from anxiety as well) which can be very dangerous. this is something i think you should seek help from somewhere else for. such as a doctor.

    I don't think this is normal, but I feel the exact same way.

          Could you be more specific? What is it about being touched that you don't like? What does it feel like when you are touched? Is it possible that something traumatic or some kind of abuse may have occurred in your life that you're unaware of or may have blocked out?
