Aphephobia

an extreme fear of being touched, which ranges from simply feeling uneasy when being touched to feeling a sharp pain simply by being brushed at.

me and my friend are both aphephobic. we both have aphephobia.

mine is way more severe than her's, though. if you touch me, it feels like burning fire and i immediately retreat.

she simply feels uneasy and curls up a bit.

Haphephobia

An extremely rare severe fear of touching and/or being touched. It is not linked to social anxiety or phobias. Sometimes it is only the fear of touching and/or being touched by the opposite sex, sometimes it is only the same sex, and sometimes both. The reactions vary depending on how much trust the person with haphephobia has with the one he/she is touching/being touch by.

Ex. 1
Kevin: "Did you see Josh completely freak out when his girlfriend kissed him? Wtf was that about? Freak."
Dave: "Shut up. He has haphephobia. He can't help it."
Ex. 2
Some people don't like being touched, but that isn't haphephobia. Haphephobia is when people touch you and your reaction is to freeze up. Your heart beats faster and you near a panic attack. Sometimes the area touched will feel as if it's been burnt and/or start to itch. Sometimes you'll just begin to sweat, runaway, or cry. It's a serious disorder and should be taken seriously. If someone tell you not to touch them, do NOT touch them.

apiphobia

Fear of bees. They are so creepy and scary espescially when they suck nectar out of poor innocent flowers and sting people painfully and cause them to exclaim swear words.

applephobia

Applephobia is the hatred of the multi-national company Apple Incorporated, its products and customers - that is, iPhones, iPads, Macintoshes etc. - sometimes leading to acts of violence and expressions of hostility. Applephobia is not confined to any one segment of society, and can be found in people from all walks of life. An Applephobe is someone who has Applephobia: the diametric opposite of an Apple Fanboy.

Louise from accounting was showing off her new iPhone 6 when Dennis from HR grabbed it, smashed it against a wall and kicked all her teeth out, he suffers from Applephobia really badly.

Appaphobia

The hesitation or outright fear of adding applications to your facebook account. Can also be extended to mobile platforms, in which apps are all the rage. Appaphobia may be a result of extreme elitism among their peers, as appaphobes do not want their peers to to see their top 10 valentines for 2010, or what their favourite colour says about them.

It is common to see appaphobes judging friends based on the apps they install, as well as almost always voicing that they are "sick of all these stupid apps."

At present a cure for appaphobia is not available, nor is one expected in the near future.

"Boy, I really would like to find out how original my name is, but it would corrupt my entire facebook reputation!"
"Sounds like you've got an acute case of appaphobia."
"What are you, a psychiatrist?"
"....appaphobe."

"Do you really need 5 fart apps on your iphone?"
"Do you really need to be such an appaphobe?"
