GENOS HEADCANONS
Geno has Haphephobia
Haphephobia is a phobia that’s considered a rare anxiety disorder characterized by an intense and irrational fear of being touched or touching others. It's also known as chiraptophobia, aphenphosmphobia, or thixophobia. Symptoms include: Crying, Freezing, Running, Shaking, Sweating, Panic attacks, Nausea, and Vomiting, The severity of haphephobia can vary. It's different from hypersensitivity, which is physical pain from being touched. Even though he has this fear he lets Reaper overstep his boundaries due to the comfort he feels and has around him.
Geno has Autophobia
Autophobia also known as monophobia, isolophobia, or eremophobia. It's a specific phobia characterized by a morbid fear or dread of oneself or of being alone, isolated, abandoned, or ignored. This fear can cause severe anxiety and distress. This fear is mostly the reason why Geno allows Reaper to be more touchy with him as he fears if he doesn’t Reaper will abandon him.
Geno has Panic Attacks
Panic attacks are intense, excessive, persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. Fast heart rate, rapid breathing, sweating, and tiredness may occur. Geno who suffers from these attacks feels like he should hide his panic attacks from mostly everyone he interacts with as he sees it as a weakness and is scared that if anyone found out he would be seen as weaker and lesser than others. Reaper who knows about Geno’s panic attacks tries to help him by buying Geno many stress toys but always has to buy new ones every week due to Geno always destroying them.
Geno hates being social
Geno hates being social and has a low social battery for energetic people. The reason for this is due to his long period in the void as he was always alone which stunned his social growth causing him to become more isolated. Geno acts mute as a way to avoid as much social interaction as he can but it backfires as he realizes most of the sanses have known sign language and now Geno hides from many people as a way to escape social interaction. These panic attacks can occur when Geno is reminded of something that caused his fate, an example of this is the save screen.
Geno has Insomnia
Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing poor sleep quality, often leading to daytime impairments. The reason Geno has this is due to never sleeping in the void which carried over to his daily life now. He avoids sleep as much as he can but rarely sometimes you could find Geno sleeping with Reaper.
Geno’s response to trauma
Geno whenever he sees a papyrus of any timeline or AU, usually hugs the papyrus or clings to it as he refuses to let go. The reason for this is due to the traumatic experience of his papyrus dying. Geno usually tries to cope by ignoring or avoiding any papyrus he sees and in some situations, the method works while other times he tries to kidnap or save them which he is usually stopped by Reaper or any sans that witnesses the act.
