    Something like a germophobe
    When a person doesn't like to touch foreign stuff (stuff that doesn't belong to him/her) or be touched by it. What is that called?

    They are not exactly germophobes, because germophobes will touch things that are foreign so long as it is clean. The type of person I am talking about just don't like touching or be touched by other stuff but their own. They are perfectly fine with their own germ and stuff.
