Is it normal that i don't trust the toilet in my own home?

Whenever I'm in public, If I really feel like I need to use the bathroom, I never sit on the toilet. I normally just squat. And for a while I picked up the habit of squating, that I carried that habit home.

But now, I have finally stopped squating at home, but I'm still wary about a dirty toilet seat. So my new habit is, taking a little bit of toilet paper, and wiping the toilet seat before I sit down. But this is in my own home.

I've become so used to it, that it seem's almost impossible for me to stop. My house (including all three bathroom's) are spotless, but I still can't take the thought of sitting on a dirty toilet seat even when I know it's clean. I'm assuming this is probably not normal. I'm thinking it's ocd. What do you guy's think? Is it normal?

    OCD isn't freaking out about the state of your toilet seat, it's a condition which consumes your entire life.

    People need to stop confusing being eccentric with having a genuine condition.

    Not every habit is OCD. Habits can easily be picked up if done frequently, like you describe.

    In my opinion, you just gotta think twice before squating. Look at the toilet seat. Is it dirty? Probably not.

    Ive heard though that your toilet seat is actually more cleaner than your kitchen worktops ;).

    Actually, I still think it could be OCD, maybe early stages, because you talk about your bathroom being spotless - do you clean repeatedly and excessively? We don't know. Either way, it sounds like some kind of mental health problem. How are you feeling in yourself? Do you feel worried or have difficulty sleeping? If so, consider talking to a doctor. Good luck.

    It could be, if they literally cant stop doing this. They might not just be freaking out.
