I'm not a psychologist, but if I were I would be chomping at the bit to run a study on how the trauma of the pandemic has normalized a lot of disordered thinking around hygiene and cleanliness. the number of people I've seen on tiktok spouting opinions that are just straight up contamination OCD to the near-unanimous support of the comment sections makes me scream. Accept a little grime into your world. it's okay.
#somebody i saw recently was talking about how it's DISGUSTING and HORRIBLE that somebody wouldn't wash the rind of a pomegranate#because 'you touch the rind with the same hands that are touching the inside'#I've seen people get upset about someone cleaning a stray cat without gloves on#and when the op said 'it's okay i just wash my hands after' they acted like that still wouldn't be enough to be clean#i see people on god's internet every day that make me want to hold their heads gently in my hands and say#'you can wash things. and then they will be clean again. there are very few exceptions to this rule.'
