Is it normal that i feel like everything has an invisible string attached?
I don't know how to explain this very good, especially since English isn't my main language, but here it goes:
I feel like everything – both living things and objects – have some sort of string attached, and so I always try not to get them entangled.
For example: if I'm walking on the sidewalk, and there is some sort of obstacle, and I go around it, I NEED to remember which side I took and go around it from the same side when i'm returning, or my "string" will get "entangled".
This also happens with objects I'm using:
If I take an object and pass it through something, when I putting it back i NEED to pass it through the same thing again. Also i try not to rotate an object that much, or it could get "entangled" with its own "string".
As you may be thinking I can't always satisfy this obsession because I don't always return using the same route I went to a place, so it's not like i feel like I'm gonna die right there if I don't do it; it's more like we are Dental Floss Dispensers and our strings have a limited length, and over time we spend more and more string getting it entangled, and something bad it's gonna happen when we run out of it.
The "string" thing is an analogy I use to explain this feeling to other people, but it's not like I imagine a string attached to things. I don't know how else to explain it.
I know this isn't rational, but i can't help but let this obsession change the way i live, so i need to know just how normal/abnormal is this, and if any of you feel something similar to this.
