Hey all,
I need a reality check. I have an immense fear of spreading germs to others. It takes me so long to get ready in the mornings because I have to get dressed in the proper order and wash my hands several times during the process in order to make sure that I minimize germ spread. This is prob gonna sound weird, but my latest fear is spreading germs after I use the restroom. I used to be like any normal guy and could goto the bathroom, zip up, buckle my belt, then wash my hands and not think twice about it. But, now after I goto the bathroom, I feel like I'm spreading germs onto my zipper and my belt before washing my hands. The next day, I feel like the germs are still on my belt when I go to put it on. So, after touching it, I feel like my hands are now contaminated and must be washed (or else I will spread the germs everywhere and to other people, and will feel like I did so on purpose). Anyway, should I truly be this concerned about spreading germs? If not, how can I get over this fear? Thanks for any help!
