The last time I flew home from a French-speaking location (Montreal), I got COVID. From the sound of others on my flight home from Paris, I might be exposed again. Hopefully the vaccines I got 3 weeks ago are doing their job.

I just feel like sharing some interesting things from my experience with #germophobia. 🧵

🔸 I meticulously mentally keep track of what I've touched since my last handwashing.

🔸Touching my shoelaces - That's a handwashing

🔸 Returning from public - Handwash!

🔸 I get disregulated if a restroom doesn't offer the opportunity to wash my hands before putting my clothes back in place. I don't want those germs on my clothes!

Mysophobia, the fear of germs, people with mysophobia usually try to avoid exposure to germs, they clean.

If anyone wonders what #germophobia is like, one major component is how much anxiety I have about not knowing what happens in this bathroom. I have no evidence my roommates DON'T pile their used TP on the counter till they've finished. How could I be sure nobody uses my towel to dry in their ass crack?
What if somebody rubbed their butt on the shower handle? No idea why they would, but people do weird things all the time.
