Thanks for sharing your story. It's really relevant to me. I have been feeling a weird sensation my whole life and I'm curious to know your take on it. Its currently getting stronger which is why I'm thinking about it. Basically I feel like the air is touching my skin and I have to get it off. It started out when I was a child with using my hands to wipe the backs of each other and now it's like when I'm touching objects I feel like I want to touch it so completely no air gets in. Sometimes I touch things multiple times to get it right, especially if no one is watching. If people are watching I often just run my index finger over my thumb without letting air in. I have to touch objects a certain way and I find myself repeatedly touching things like my mouse wheel to make sure no air got in. If I do it wrong it's not impossible to avoid doing it again, it's just like an itch I'll keep thinking about. If I resist I feel frustration which can be relieved by touching things the way I want to. It has gotten so bad that I pick things up and put them down and pick them up again because I didn't get the feeling right. Do you have an opinion on what could be causing this? I realize you are not a pro but I am so curious about this and thought you might have some insights. You are awesome for sharing your experience! Many hugs to you.

Hey, thank you for your response. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing your story and good luck to you!!
