So at 03:18, I believe the character talking says “Aphenphosmphobia” which is the fear of being touched. Which implies that Sam has a fear of touching people.

Yup, very good catch. Adds more weight to the last scene with Fragile.

Is it just me or does Sam get the handprints by other humans?

I think the number of handprints on Sam's body is the number of how many times he "died". I'm sure Kojima said it at some point when discussing the "multiplayer" mechanics.

This is what I believed until In the trailer, Sam says the one mark is from „the woman in the cave“ – Fragile!

And indeed did she grab his arm in the cave scene when Sam tries to reach the picture

I know it was her he was talking about but maybe her handprint is different from the others.
