The greatest happiness is life is friendship. At least that's what I've heard. That you can do almost anything as long you have friends there beside you. I'd love to have friends beside me. Or at least a 5 foot distance.

Life for me has been very lonely. I can't help it though. Ever since I was little I couldn't stand touching people or people touching me. Just thinking about someone touching me makes me want to grab some hand sanitizer and bathe in it.

The feeling of contamination spreads throughout my body and makes me feel disgusting. I used to come home every day from school and shower. Then the water bill went up by about a thousand and Mum had no choice but to home-school me.

When it comes to my family, I'm a bit more open about the touching thing. I don't mind her touching me. Or my older sister. Those are the only two people that can lay a hand on me and I wont freak out.

So mum signed me up for some support group a few weeks ago and it starts in a week. I'm extremely nervous about it. I honestly doubt going to some daily therapy session will help with my touching problem. AKA, the reason I don't have friends.

Or maybe because I'm extremely weird.

I like to blame it on my haphephobia.
