I know this is an older thread, but in case you’re still having trouble:
I dealt with this for a year!!!! Super annoying and couldn’t wait until it was time for a new phone. My daughter had the same issue. She took her screen protector off (one of the harder ones, not just a film that goes over), problem solved! So, I tried it, thinking there was no way that was it...problem solved! My phone hasn’t done this in 4 days! I was having trouble all day everyday. The phone would even call other people while I was on a call. I hated it! Anyway, apparently the screen protector was causing issues with the screen sensitivity. Hope this helps!

Hi
Try a reboot press the side volume up button quick then the side volume down button quick then hold the power button down until you see apple logo this can take 30 seconds.
If you still have a problem make an appointment at Apple store.
Or contact Support.apple.com
Go to i books download ios 11 user guide & iPhone X guide both are free.
Cheers

UH........................ No! It was a bad digitizer. The whole screen was replaced and now the problem is solved. I know how to grip an iPhone. I'm not an idiot. Sometimes in the manufacturing process one or two out of a million get bad hardware. Apple made it right in less than 24 hours.
Actually I had the exact same problem, I went to Apple Shop and after inspecting the device and trouble shooting they found out it was a hardware problem and replaced the unit. I should receive the new unit shortly
I had to take my screen in for repair. It fixed the issues I was having. So it seemed it was a hardware defect not software. iOS 11.2.6
Not helpful at all. Touch accommodations are for helping people use a touch screen. The problem is the sensitivity not the users fingers in this particular case. I’ve owned every iPhone model since the iPhone 3G. The sensitivity is somewhat returned to normal with 3D Touch turned off. I’m well versed in how to use iPhone. Here is a screen recording if Apple will allow its upload.
UPDATE: Apple finally had my screen replaced after going back and forth. So far so good, the issue no longer manifests. I hope it won't resurface, though.
For now, I turned my 3D Touch off. Super annoying but it seems to be less crazy with 3D Touch turned completely off. I’ve used my sons iPhone 8plus and it doesn’t do it. Something with the iPhone X or the new iOS updates. I wish we would return to the way Apple designed and created iPhones to just WORK seemles

Then it sounds as if it's time to take your phone to Apple for evaluation. You may have a bad digitizer.
My assumption was/is that if your fingers are gripping the sides of the phone, too close to the front glass, it’ll register touches near the corner of the screen. Gotta palm it or watch the finger placement.
Hi, please go to General>>Accessibility>>3D Touch setting, and set the sensitivity to ‘Firm’
It does improve a lot, and worth a try. I have tried to turn off the 3D Touch, the situation doesn’t change much. So, adjust it to firm as I suggested from my experience.
If it still remain the same, I would suggest you to restart the phone after setting.
Hopefully can help iPhone X user from getting rid of this annoying issues and losing patient on iPhone X.
See, I can type the comment without having any issues.
I have my setting on extremely firm and my phone will still randomly go berserk "touching/clicking" everywhere/multiple times regardless what app I am in whether it is a game, organic app to the iPhone or trying to text/dial a number.
I am typing this on a iPhone X. My touch is so sensitive that it highlights random words on a page won’t respond to clicking links but will highlight it instead. The texting is so sensitive you can’t text without deleting what you’ve texted multiple times. The cursor can move around the screen when a letter (usually a vowel is selected with different spellings) is touched lightly. If pressed harder the letters disappear and the cursor highlights the entire page. This is ridiculous. My sons iPhone X doesn’t seem to have this problem neither the 8’s as well. I noticed it after iOS 11.2.5. I run 11.2.6.
Hi I have the same problem
Its very frustrating
But it helps if you just press the power buttom and open ur iphone again
The problem i have is in the upper part of the screen you can check when you open garageband up an use the piano the piano keys go crazy when you put your finger close to the problem area
BTW the 3D touch off dosn’t work
And i think this is a commen one since i know many having the same problem
Iphone X touchscreen is extremely sensitive.
