I think my sister has a mental disorder?
She can't stand being touched by me, my sister, or my dad and sometimes friends. It mainly bothers her when i do it on purpose because i know it bothers her.
If anyone knows a disorder with that symptom please let me know so i'll stop bothering her.
I am not looking for advice!

aphephobia is the fear of being touched.
To me I don't like being touched either. I believe negative energy can be transmitted by touch, although she probably doesn't have that.
She may have been abused in the past like said above.
Although if your sister or dad haven't abused her I don't see why she would act like that.
It is probably nothing to worry about. Maybe you should ask her why she doesn't like being touched.
If you know why you can more assess why she acts this way.
It is probably nothing, but you never know
And agoraphobia has many different facets to it. Most don't like going outside.
Some people just don't like being touched. That alone would not cause someone to be diagnosed with anything. Now if she also has that coupled with washing her hands 100 times a day, or refusing to touch anything with her bare hands then there could be a strong case for OCD
well there could be lots of reasons but she might be germaphbic slightly i when threw a stage where i didnt like being toutched i washed my hands till they stared cracking and i wouldnt even swallow my own spit it was bad but i grew out of it it was when i was like 12 or 13 that could be it but there are other things it could be im not sure the names though sorry if i didnt help =/
I have a problem with that, but I try to control it. I am schizophrenic. If I had a sister who did that to me purposefully I would slap her.
Maybe she's been abused in the past, try to be understanding.
