Wow go Canada!! (I am Canadian too!! )

Thank-you for your helpful suggestions and advice. For right now I think I will just keep my distance from her to maintain my sanity. After spending a day with her or even just a couple of hours, I feel a sense of negative energy in my body if you know what I mean. She is a kind, loving, and sincere lady but her OCD behaviourisms drive me mad.

She told me one time of her typical daily shower routine and it made me feel as though I wasn't up to par. She shampoos and conditions her hair, uses body wash soap all over her body, shaves her legs almost every day, brushes her teeth in the shower, uses that special stone to remove dead skin cells from the bottom of her feet...etc. She stayed at my home for a week and her typical shower lasted for about 15-20 minutes!

Her immediate family has similar traits to OCD. So I think it is a learned way of living for her or genetic?

I just don't like having to walk on egg shells when I am around her or her family and I don't enjoy having to be intensely shy around her. I am naturally shy but when she is around I become more so.
