Is this weird? My family thinks im crazy?

Question

I can't eat with any silverware (forks, spoons knives) that touches cold food.

For example:

If i'm heating up something and i have to stir it at anytime before its done cooking then i just put that utensil in the dishwasher or sink and get out a new one to eat with.

My mother thinks i'm a madwoman when i do that.

Is that weird?

What are some of your obsessive things?

Answer 1

That in itself is not enough to be a disorder.  It is safe to use a new utensil when food is not cooked well.  When I am cooking meat I use a new spatula to touch the cooked food.

Answer 2

I'd say your weird but then I'm pretty weird too.  I can't eat chicken that has touched a bone.  I can't do it.  It's wrong...gross.  Horrible!!  So I'm pretty weird.

Answer 3

I'm really picky about that kind of stuff too. Like...

I have to use difefrant plates for my food cuz it can't touch or mix.  

Answer 4

I do that to but I won't eat with any untensil that I use to cook with whether it be cold or hot.  My husband tells me I'm weird also but whatever.  

  

Answer 5

OCD

Answer 6

You don't really give the reader enough information--you might have obsessive compulsive disorder, but then you might not.  Have you tried prevent yourself from doing the behavior you are describing? If you have, how do you feel.  Does this type compulsion come in other parts of your life? How does the compulsion impact other parts of your life--relationships, for instance?  How you answer these questions can determine whether or not you need to see a mental health professional
