I guess it wouldn't be beneficial to say even when you're not touched, you still have a coating of germs on you at all times. It's just how life is, and I think i read it's actually healthy for it to be there. But i hope this teller gets some help.

All i can say is, keep calm and consult a doctor.

I understand the want to get rid of germs and avoid them (that, and contact in itself), but these kind of things are unavoidable. I think you should get help getting accustomed to these things - they should have a program that gives you lessons, etc.

The incentive, if you need one, is that society will no longer be as disgusting in your eyes. You have to understand that they're people too, just like you, who have their own fears. But if you look away just because they're "disgusting," you'll never see that.

Plus, it's lonely, isn't it? I'm not saying the answer is to hug someone to get a friend - I personally don't hug my friends unless they initiate it. However, it really helps both you and your friend if you can at least endure it a little.

Whatever you choose, good luck.

because they live in close proximity to their waste (among other things)

(I'm not a doctor, but I did study psychology. It sounds like you have an obsessive compulsive type disorder. There are germs etc out there, but such an extreme reaction is unusual. Please see a doctor, counsellor, or therapist. There is help for this.

Regular hand washing is good, even healthy; it helps you to avoid colds etc, but you don't need to be this uncomfortable with being touched.

It's interesting to me that anyone would say that like it's an absolute fact. :B What "society" is like is relative to where you are; it's not the shame everywhere around the world.

Although, I'd have to say that, while "people" and "society" make up the same thing, they aren't quite the same. They stand parallel to each other, but they aren't each other. To put them in the same boat is to generalize everyone, but people aren't all the same, and you'll never evolve as a person if you're shut tight in a tiny box.

The not liking to be touched thing, though? Is.. understandable, even though I don't suffer the same. I don't generally touch anyone [ie, hugs or poking, that kind of thing] unless they initiate it, just out of respect for personal space.

Society isn't disgusting (in a literal dirty way), it's too prude.

I'm the same, i cant stand people or society. i get twitchy and claustrophobic when i am going out. its sad that people cant even see how disgusting they really are.
