""The real problem for me with paper is when people have dry hands and they touch paper,""
""And then it's Christmas, it's cold, and everyone's hands are dry and they're all touching paper!""
""My Mom would be driving and it would be complete chaos, because all of us would fight for the entire 14 hours, and then to really torture me, [my brothers] would rub paper together while I was in the backseat.""
Miley Cyrus experiences a strong, specific phobia of paper focused on the sensation of dry paper and especially on paper touched by people with dry hands. The aversion prevents her from opening letters, reading physical books, and tolerating paper cue cards, while wax paper and rolling papers are acceptable. Cardboard ranks as the most intolerable paper product. The phobia traces back to childhood road trips during which siblings rubbed paper together to provoke her. The condition has worsened with age and now impairs her quality of life, prompting recognition that professional intervention may be necessary.
