I agree with you down to every word. There are, however, a few other things I do as well:
1. I wash my hands for at least the recommended 20 seconds, but more commonly wash them longer.
2. Sometimes the doorknobs in my home feel contaminated.
3. My hands often feel dirty, even when I've hardly come into contact with anything.
4. In the wintertime, my hands become dry from frequent washing and dry air - to the point where the backs become rough, form cracks, itch, and bleed. I try to use lotion, but I just despise how it feels when applied.
5. I couldn't imagine myself going anywhere without bringing some hand sanitizer along.
6. After preparing and cooking meat, I can't shake the feeling that I've somehow missed a spot or left an area contaminated; I fear someone will perish from food poisoning, and I will be at fault.
7. I often sanitize my pens and pencils before or during use.
Simply saying, I think it's Normal for you to feel like this. Just curious, though - Do you feel the same way about anything above? Thanks. :)
Is it normal to be a germaphobe?
