neurotic

Neurosis, also known as psychoneurosis or neurotic disorder, is a term that refers to any mental imbalance that causes distress, but, unlike a psychosis or some personality disorders, does not prevent or affect rational thought. It is particularly associated with the field of psychoanalysis.

Ok, so I came across this site called iamneurotic.com where you can send in your neuroses. Laughtrip talaga yung iba! Daming nakapost dun bust these are my favorites:

• when i eat snack foods with faces, like goldfish or gummy bears, i have to eat them two at a time so that they can be with a friend when they die in my mouth.

• when i was a child, i would always swallow baby grapes whole, because i didn’t want to hurt them. the regular sized grapes were fine…they were grown up and ready for their fate. but i wanted to be as kind as possible to the little ones.

• once i watched a simpsons episode in which milhouse told bart that sneezing was your soul trying to escape and saying bless you crammed it back in. now whenever i sneeze if no one says bless you i have to say “bless me” or i feel weird. if i am in a group of people and no one says it i say it quietly so they don’t think i’m weird.

• Sometimes I get sudden urges to touch someones bellybutton. If they don’t let me I freak out and beg and plead them until they give in.

• If I receive a book either from the library or the store, I am always compelled to smell it before I read it. Recently this compulsion has spread to CD liner notes.

I always do the last one before I read a book. Hahaha.
