Am I just quirky, or is something wrong with me?




Ever since I was a kid, I hated dry skin. After swimming, showering, washing my hands, being in the rain, touching something with condensation or anything else that would get my hands wet in the least bit, I would lick my finger tips to get moisture until the dry feeling went away.



My mom and older sister use to yell at me about it lol, and when I got a little older, I realized the beauty of lotion. So I stopped licking my finger tips (for the most part, unless i'm in a dersperate situation and have no lotion around lol) and began using lotion every time my hands got moist. Even if it is the tiniest bit.



Is that weird? I know people don't like dry skin, but I have taken it to the extent. If I don't get the dry feeling to go away, I feel like i'm going to go completely crazy!



That's not all..... I refuse to touch dry wooden objects. Like a wooden spatula, or a popsicle stick. If I touch one, I get the weird dry hand thing, and I also have to ( and this is where it gets really weird..) I have to put pressure on my teeth. My front teeth. By pushing my lips into them. If I don't, I feel some form of anxiety.



Same thing with people biting metal silverware. I have to put pressure on my front teeth if anyone slides their teeth against it. Or if two metal things collide into eachother, like two forks sticking together. If I don't put pressure on my front teeth, it feels really gross in my gums where my teeth are, and it won't go away until I get pressure.



Another thing I have a problem with is, cracking my toes. Some people crack their knuckles, but I crack my toes. I have done it since I was in junior high, and I am 22 now. I crack my toes at least 50 times per day. Especially when I wear shoes. If I can't crack my toes, it drives me nuts, and I take off my shoes so I have enough room to crack them. I hate it. But I can't stop doing it.



Veins make me want to puke. When I was a kid, my older sister learned I had a problem with veins, and she would hold me down, and press down on my veins on my wrist. I would gag to the point where I would almost throw up. When I see veins, it makes me want to push the skin on my fingertips into my nails. Like, putting pressure into my finger tips.



I also have to put pressure on my finger tips if anyone touches my finger tips or nails.



I'm sorry this post is so long lol, but I have been dying to get someones opinion. So, am I quirky? Or do I have problems? Is anyone else like this?
