Avoid physical contact with people you don't like.....

I know many obsessions are rooted around germophobia but I'm not obsessed with germs so much as I am obsessed with not sharing fluids or germs with anyone that I don't like. The thought of contact with certain people absolutely disgusts me. Sometimes it feels like it would be like sharing a dinner plate with a pig or mule. Like the feeling you get when you look at a person that is an absolute slob and waist of life and then see them take a wizz in the bathroom and then walk out without washing their hands. I'm sure there are others out there with similiar problems just looking for a few comments and opinions....

I'm not a germaphobe, but I've never been able to 'share fluids,' as you say. Even with people I know have good hygiene, the thought of letting someone else drink from my glass or take a bite of my food is unnerving. I've been able to get over it a little recently; I'll let a friend take a drink from my water bottle every now and then. But after I do, I'll never be able to as enjoy it as much.

So you're not alone in regards to that. Good luck.

I never ever share food of drink with anyone. It doesn't matter who they are or how clean I may believe them to be. If anyone drinks from a water bottle of mine or a glass then I can't drink from it again. Also I often cannot drink from a bottle or glass that I have set down because I think that someone else may have drank from it while I had left it alone for a moment.
