Haphephobia

A very interesting phobia that I guess I always knew about, but never knew the proper term for.

It means a  fear of being touched.  We probably all know someone who doesn't like casual touches but I don't think I've ever met anyone who cannot stand any touch at all and is actively frightened of being touched.

Etymology:

From the greek Haphe - to touch

Phobia

Generally used to mean scared of. Official meaning is an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something.

Etymology:
1786, "fear, horror, aversion," Mod.L., abstracted from compounds in -phobia, from Gk. -phobia (in widespread popular use with native words from c.1800), from phobos "fear," originally "flight" (still the only sense in Homer), but it became the common word for "fear" via the notion of "panic, fright" (cf. phobein "put to flight, frighten"), from PIE base *bhegw- "to run" (cf. Lith. begu "to flee," O.C.S. begu "flight," bezati "to flee, run," O.N. bekkr "a stream"). Psychological sense attested by 1895.

Kakorrhaphiophobia

Irrational fear of failure.

It rather sounds like a bird swooping down on top of you with an almighty kakaw, kakaw, and then you find that there's nothing left of you in the morning apart from some extraneous toenails which weren't so well digested.

That's what happens to you when you fail. Unequivocally, without fail, the kakaw bird will eat you. So don't fail.
