I can't think of one at the moment but I need it right now for something I'm writing. Any words describing 'fear of intimacy?'
Thanks!

Propinquity trepidation -or-
propinquity trepidant (to fear closeness)
Depending on how you are using the phrase in the sentance.

It depends on the type of intimacy you are talking about. There is philophobia - the fear of falling in love or being in love; erotophobia - fear of sexual love or sexual questions; genophobia - fear of sex.
