OK, is there anybody else like this? I'm not freaked out by ALL paper. That would be ridiculous because a. I'm an artist and b. I like to read. However, dirty, used, wet, and wadded up paper makes me so crazily uncofortable, I sometimes even come close to vomiting.

When I move out of my house, I am only going to use cloth napkins. Used napkins can send me into hysterics. I mean, what the heck? I can force myself to routinely use paper for absolutely necessary things, but generally I cannot look at it.

Any thoughts on this? I don't know where this came from, but I've always had it. My parents try to be tolerant of it, though I get some guff from my younger sisters, but it's absolutely nuts. What's worse is that lately I've been developing a similar phobia of dirty plastic, too. (Like plastic gloves, Wal-Mart bags, etc.)

It's especially inconvenient when I have a cold, because I HATE tissues with a passion, and despite being gross and snotty, I'd rather be that than have to deal with kleenex. WAI? Is there anybody else like this?
