Sock Obsession: Can't Do Anything Without Them

THIS IS REAL i get stuck on thinking about my feet a lot just like if they’re comfortable or not..? and usually the answer has something to do with taking off or putting on socks.. or taking a shower? but yes. you have a friend. (me)

Hi! I have the same thing. I cant stand my feet to be barefoot and my whole life i’ve have to keep socks on. It’s also an obsession of mine. I can’t even walk around my house/ room without socks. You aren’t alone !

If I’m having a bad ocd day I will do my best to resist one compulsion but allow myself to do a safe one instead. I was trying to take my clothes off in the incorrect order for therapy and I was able to do it without a panic attack because I let myself sing my song. I hope this helps!

I live socks lol, it makes me feel safe for some reason

Same here. I’m home most of the day but it’s a combination of comfort and the idea in the back of my mind constantly of things like it protecting your feet and keeping them soft kind of things if that makes sense. I just own like 50 million pairs of socks and always have a bunch clean and make it a fun thing for me in my life instead of viewing it as a hastily for this particular quirk. Ive always viewed it that way though so may be easier said than done. But I do relate to this on other levels like lip balm for example.

i used to be the same way! i still do that sometimes i just feel more comfortable w socks on and also i don’t want ppl lookin at my feet lol
