Is it normal that i'm dusgusted when people touch me?

Anytime I'm somewhere public and someone accidentally bumps my arm I automatically need to wash my hands and feel dirty until I'm able to take a full shower.

I wash my hands 50 times a day, and wash every article of clothing immediately after wearing it. I love soap, the smell of it, and sometimes I even eat it. Preferably bar soap (lever 2000, Irish spring). Am I weird? Does anybody else do this or feel this way?

    Be careful, washing your hands and sanitizing them so much can lower your immune system, and you can get sick. Being hygenic is good and all, but too much of something can be bad.

    Sounds like you've got a pretty bad case of germophobia. It's not OCD, no one on this site knows what that disorder actually is, it seems. XD

    Okay, being a germaphobe is somewhat common, but eating soap? That's not good.

    Not normal....you have 'issues', try eating a different brand of soap.

    Seriously, this is an unhealthy obsession with hygiene and you need to deal with it, or it will negatively impact on every aspect of your life. How could you hold down a full time job like this?

    Congratulations you got adhd.
    She or he can't be a germophobe since he or she didn't mention germs at all,probably she does it,I'm assuming it's a she,because smells different than the ones she used to,get on her nerves and make her anxious.To make this readily understandable by most people:They managed to teach her personal higiene but it became an obsession,now she can't even stand somebody touching her.Good job.She probably thinks that she smells becaise she touched people.But it's just the flavor of the soap fading out. oh...
    Perfumed clothes aren't necessarily clean.
    Wait a minute,you said lever 2000?
    You are a germophobe.
    I suggest you do some research about germs to learn how they spread so you can actually work your fear out.Or just use the face your fear method and dip yourself in a bucket of spit and sweat.Or just get in a crowded room without air conditioning,and stay there for ten hours straight in the middle of an heatwave.
    Few germs ain't gonna kill you.
    Not instantly at least.
    Well, look at the bright side: At least you won't catch the swine flu.

      I didn't understand that first paragraph. I said it makes me feel dirty, touching anything that has a possibility of having something dirty on it drives me insane.
