I can't stop thinking about paper

23% Normal
8 Comments

So literally everyday I go into school thinking "okay don't think about it" and no matter what, I will think about paper and have to calm myself down because it freaks me out. I absolutely hate the way it feels and looks and I am terrified of getting a paper cut especially in my eye. I like to rub my hands together to produce sweat so its not just bare hands touching paper, and close my eyes when they are dry so I have like a liquid shield against the paper.

    omg dude i thought i was the only one who felt this, i was just randomly browsing this site and saw this...
    i work in a place with loads of cardboard boxes which i hate much more than paper! paper isn't so so bad for me but cardboard is pure evil. its the way it dries your hands out, and i don't like dry skin on my hands anyway.
    at its worst i get an image of what it would be like to grind a bit of cardboard between my teeth and the kind of particular type of friction it would cause.

    ...having said all this i'm over the worst of it. it got so bad that in the end i knew i had to face it just to get it out of my head. i got cardboard and paper and put it between my teeth and ground it, it wasnt so bad. i rubbed my fingers accross it vigorously and they didnt come out so dry, and oh yeah, the other thing that would make my skin crawl... when someone folds a piece of paper and then draws their two fingers/nail along the fold to make it sharp... i did that too.

    and i did these things again a few times in the days after... and as suspected they were 10 times worse in my imagination than reality... i suggest u carry out your paper horrors to excorcise them.

    sorry for the rant... i just cant believe someone else described this.

    I understand exactly how you feel.One thing that really makes my skin crawl, is the sound of paper-back books, when you turn the page and the paper rubs together!!!! Even thinking about it makes it hard to breathe. I absolutly hate paper, I even stopped reading, and I type all of my school assignments so my wrist and fingers won't touvh the paper. This is normal in my perspective.

    I personally can't stand the sound of something rubbing against paper, I ca understand hating the way it feels. I also get extremely paranoid that I'll cut my eyes with various objects, so I get that part too. I'd say you're perfectly normal.
