I thought that board was very interesting... it's nice to see I'm not the only one with weird issues that are really hard to explain.

My post:

I have the same issue that Morgan does with certain fabrics, I can't touch velvet and certain other fabrics or it makes me cringe really bad.

I also can't write with chalk (on sidewalks especially)-- it makes me want to throw up.

I do this thing with listening to what people say and counting one number for every word that they say, if they end a sentence with a word that falls on a 6, then I can stop. I don't do it all the time, but when I start, I can't stop easily. I can't explain it any more than that, hmm... that makes me sound quite schizophrenic. Maybe I am...?

I also have to have the ends of my fingernails smooth, if they're rough, or I have a hangnail-- and I don't have a file (I hate the feeling of files, how convienient!) I will sit there for hours chewing on my nails trying to get them smooth again. (I've asked my mom about this, and she does the same thing-- as does my sister.)

God I'm sure there's more, being obsessive-compulsive is quite common in my family, my brother used to stand up and eat at every restaurant we went to, fancy or not... because he didn't want to sit on dirty chairs. If we ate at home, he got up like 20 times during a meal to wash his hands.

I have a weird family.

Anyone relate to any of these?
