Forever In School

I was surfing the web the other day when I saw this website, in which you are asked to write about your neuroses. Normal people wrote about their craziness and weirdness. For example, someone wrote that when she comes out of the shower, she has to turn the webcam around, because she thinks someone might be watching. Or the other one wrote about his fear of toilet flush sucking him in, so he has to open the door and be ready to leave before he can flush the toilet.

Well, I realized that I am not the only person who is neurotic about some things, so I decided to write about them here. You can also write about your neuroses in the comments. It’s gonna be fun reading each others’ craziness!!

Here it goes:

• I have to apply moisturizer to my feet before going to bed. If I don’t do that, I can’t sleep. I can’t. I would get up after 1 hour of struggling and use moisturizer and then go to sleep!

• I have to have some control over the room temperature, whether a thermostat or a window or something. If I feel that the room is getting too warm, and I can’t change the temperature or can’t get out, I feel like I am suffocating. If I know that I have control, I might not even do anything. Just knowing that is enough!

• When I am wearing socks and shoes, I have to be able to move all my toes. I’ll go crazy if I think my toes are stuck behind each other and can’t move.

• I am always afraid of forgetting something at home when I am going out. Sometimes I have a sense that I have forgotten something. In those times, I think and think until I remember something that I have really left at home. I would be relieved just knowing what it is, even if it’s too late to go back and get it.

Am I crazy? Maybe a little bit…?!
