Haptodysphoria is an unpleasant sensation experienced by some people when touching a certain type of material, specifically things like peach skins, velvet, or polyurethane foam. Contrary to some internet sources, haptodysphoria does not refer to this sensation with other materials, such as sticky, ruff, crunchy, fuzzy, or metallic surfaces. The sensation is described as having one's "blood run cold" or as a "shiver down the spine", and seems to be accompanied by goosebumps, shaking, or similar physical agitation. Haptodysphoria is an acute sensation and has not been reported to effect many people.

Haptodysphoria, the discomfort or distress caused by touch sensations, can be addressed through a combination of therapy and coping strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) may help individuals manage their responses to touch and reduce anxiety associated with it. Sensory integration therapy can also be beneficial, gradually desensitizing individuals to touch in a controlled environment. Additionally, practicing mindfulness and relaxation techniques can aid in alleviating anxiety related to tactile experiences.
