badger3k Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Re: help with psyc lim Originally posted by JmOz Need help with two psyc lims: What is it called when you: 1) Are afraid of being touched 2) Refuse to loose Hopefully somebody will know the psychological terms, but here's my ideas: 1) Probably OCD or some form of it (it reminded me of Howie Mandell, who can't stand being touched - he has OCD. 2) By refuse to lose, it could be "Must win at all costs" or could actually be a power or advantage (mental defense to represent willpower maybe). Sorry I can't help ya more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccabe Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Psych Lims If you are referring to a purely scientific name I can check. You might consider these; Refuse to lose: Never Surrenders, Hates Losing, Must win at any cost, "Failure is not an option", etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"V" Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Fear of being touched is Aphephobia Fear of losing is tricky, the nearest I can think of is Atychiphobia which is actually fear of failure. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
