How would you feel if one of your family members was like me?I am secretly hiding my friends from my family?

Question

I am thinking of ways to bring all my nails outside with me.I have the solution for people who are really shy of meeting new people.You can clip your nails and make great friends like I have.

I clip my toe and finger nails once a week.

I keep all of my my finger and toenail clippings?

I like to keep and file my nail clippings by shape and clour ?

I have done this for two years and when I clip them and a nail gets away I feel devastated.I feel like crying if I loose one of my little friends. I will look for it for several minutes and I feel like I've lost a friend when I don't find it !!!!! When I'm done clipping I put them in a a Ziploc bag and name my nail with with a Sharpie marker. I then put them in a shoebox. I don't have to worry about going out to a club because I have my nail friends right there with me .

A house keeper once found the box that has my fingernail friends in it, she brought it to my attention she said "that this was not what normal people do". I'm just glad she didn't find the toenail box or she might think I'm weird.

. I feel proud to have made such good friends out of my nails, I want to keep them.I enjoy counting my secret nail friends.

I have names for each of my nails friends.You to can have nail friends.Its like giving birth becasue theyre from you,its youre d.n.a!!!!

Answer 1

Wow what can I say.  I think you know yourself this is not normal behaviour.  You seem lonely and that is why you are reaching out to strangers be cause you would like a solution.  I don't think we can give it to you.  Could you not tell a member of your family.  I dont know your situation but it seems with a housekeeper maybe your family are busy earning a living.  You need someone to help you get help from a professional.  Personally I don't know if they can help you but they can certainly give you ideas on how to cope with whatever is really bothering you because the nails are not the primary problem.  Please seek help.

Answer 4

This is not a mental disorder.  You just are having some fun with limited resources.  If you can have this much fun with some toe nails, just think what you can do with a real person.  The day will come when you get tired of your nails and seek out some real friends and when you do they'll be a blast.  You don't need to waste time in therapy.  You just need to get out more and start meeting people and making real friends.
