How to use "Touchiness" in context?
Touchiness is a personality trait characterized as a strong dislike or mistrust of touch. People who are touchy often have a difficult time interacting with others, especially when socializing. They may experience discomfort or numbness when touched, or be hypersensitive to other people's touch. Touchiness may also lead to negative reactions when someone unintentionally touches someone who is touchy.
Touchiness is often inconsiderate and insensitive. It can make it difficult for others to get close to someone, because touch is often seen as a sign of trust.
