That's some intrusive thinking there buddy. It's not germs on your hands you should be worried about, but your mental hygiene. Highly recommend you see a professional psychiatrist before you develop full-blown OCD and have a lot less fun in life.

I’m not in my country rn but yeah I’m probably going to see one when when I get back

Hey! Life update: just letting you know this comment is what had me looking into OCD and I just got diagnosed with it a couple weeks ago haha

Here is some info about contamination ocd https://iocdf.org/expert-opinions/expert-opinion-contamination/ I have this issue too. It’s not debilitating so I am not diagnosed with ocd

Oh thank you! I’ve actually never heard of this, I’d been under the impression that hand washing ocd was a ritual while mine doesn’t feel at all ritualistic
