It is a COMPLETE flip-flop from the rest of my life....I now cannot abide being barefooted. I have to have socks or something on my feet at all times (except in bed and in the shower).
This is after a lifetime of being barefoot as much as possible. I once went all summer without putting on a shoe.
Should I write Dear Abby? Does anyone have experience with this sort of thing? I take socks into the shower room along with my towel so I can put them on immediately after drying. Have I gone mad?
-
Nah. I go through phases like that.
I guess you do need to rule out any reason for it though. Do your feet feel painful without socks? I'm being serious here. Our bodies send us signals. I wouldn't be too concerned but I would be asking myself why all of a sudden.

No, no pain or anything usual. I just have to have something between the floor/ground/whatever and my feet.
-
Hmm...I dunno. I would mark it down as a quirk and nothing to worry about.
I am more sensitive to cold temperatures than I used to be. I find myself wearing a sweater or wrapped in a blanket most of the time I'm indoors. I wasn't like that my whole life.

The last time I felt like that, I cleaned my floor. Instant cure. :lmao:
Seriously, Undies, that sounds more like an OCD thing. Have you had other issues in the past?

I'm that way too. That one I understand. My wife and I have changed situations. I use to be the one to set the thermostat at 60 degrees on April 1st and leave it there until Thanksgiving while she walked around looking like an Eskimo wombwoman.
Now she can't get comfortable with the a/c, three floor fans, and the ceiling fan roaring on high. I sleep between the mattress and the box springs just to keep from turning blue and dying from hypothermia in the middle of the night.

No, no OCD, unless you count my complusion of straighten everything that is slightly askew and the fact I will untangle phone cords and such in public places, or in homes not my own.

Sounds like menopause to me. :-)

Which reminds me - my Little Angel, the one who lives with me 90% of the time (who will turn 5 on Wednesday), will spend 20 minutes on the candy aisle at the store. She isn't making a selection. She's straightening the candy and making sure all like things are together.
The guy at the little gas station offered to hire her.

She had a hysterectomy at 29. That boat has sailed.

Yeah, no OCD in your family at all... ::)
If it were me, I wouldn't worry too much about the sock thing, though. It has to be pretty harmless, whatever the reason...(though I might think differently if I did your laundry. Mr Smith wears his socks all the time, too...and even with weekly bleaches, they turn gray in just a few weeks. :( )
-
If it starts to get worse get help. A friend of our family had to replace all of the floors of his house because other people had walked on them barefoot. :mental: My husband can't walk around the house without shoes and or socks too because he might step on something.

I actually developed a sort of eating disorder (read no further if you are squeamish, it is kinda gross) about 2 years ago.
When I eat a hamburger/cheeseburger or other sandwich type item, about halfway through I become aware of my masticating and basically throw up. I actually gave them up a while ago for that reason. I seem to be OK with tacos and even pasta, but the bread in sandwiches makes me sick (but again, bot right away).
When I see burgers on TV, I crave them so it isn't that.
I don't understand, but every now and then I try again -- I have learned to know when I am about to get sick and can stop and just eat the rest without the bun.
Weird, huh? I thought a part of your brain is supposed to shut off when you eat, else you would never be able to chew anything.
So a new paranoia about barefoot isn't surprising.

Thank you. Now I know I am the picture of mental health. :tongue:

If you keep'emm on during sex and your partner has a foot fetish, you might have a problem. .......otherwise, don't worry 'bout it.

2 years ago I had went on a diet, and tried eating the healthy low-carb bread and buns. I couldn't stand them , so I gave up bread altogether. Now I can not eat bread or buns without having them toasted. There's something about the texture that almost makes me gag.

I don't know how anyone can think feet are sex-worthy. They are ugly and strictly utilitarian in nature. They are also communistic. They require half the nerves and bones in the body to function but yet they are good for one thing only.

What about wearing socks at the beach or pool?

It is a COMPLETE flip-flop from the rest of my life....I now cannot abide being barefooted. I have to have socks or something on my feet at all times (except in bed and in the shower).
This is after a lifetime of being barefoot as much as possible. I once went all summer without putting on a shoe.
Should I write Dear Abby? Does anyone have experience with this sort of thing? I take socks into the shower room along with my towel so I can put them on immediately after drying. Have I gone mad?
Nah...you'll be fine.
:loser:

Isn't it good to know you have a place to go where your very real problems are examined and given serious consideration by people who care about you?

I just developed a phobia as I watched the ladies' backstroke qualifiers. *shivers*

I will probably not watch a minute of the olympics this year. There is just nothing and no one that interest me.

There isn't really any nippledge to speak of. :confused: What I noticed was the neck that's as thick as the shoulders sprouting a turtle head. :lmao:
on edit: Do I still interest you? :naughty:

Shade, I didn't see the swimmers but I did she the Chinese and U.S. gymnasts. They creep me out. They are so tiny yet nothing but muscle. They don't look very powerful but I think they could hurt me. :lmao:

I have a fantasy that involves a barefoot gymnast, me in a harness on a rope & pulley, and two little pixies on roller skates.

In Texas, it just might. Seems to me, as a people watcher, that the majority of people that have handicapped placards are either extremely overweight or just old. More than 50% of the people I've observed have no apparent physical handicap. Oklahoma seems to be even more liberal at handing them out. [/rant]

That almost sounds like a gluten allergy! Except you can eat pasta?

I have a similar view of feet. I'm OCD about peeps shoes in my house. It really grosses me out that shoes have stepped in a public bathroom and now are stepping all over my carpet. *shudder*
Probably just a phase, Undies. I go through some with different things. Some nights I can't fall asleep without the tv on for a couple of months and then I can't fall asleep unless the fan is going and the tv is off. I think Schade is right, it's a temporary sensory anomoly.
-

I can eat the whole grain stuff with seeds and oats on it, but the regular white bread...ick...I remove it or only use half the bun if I'm having a hot dog or hamburger in those instances.

How come hair and fingernails are beautiful as long as they are attached to the body - and the second they are separated from the host they are EEEWWWWWW-EEEE NASTY!!?

You really should start painting them all the same color. The "rainbow effect" needs to go.
