A: Well you do seem a little over concerned about cleanliness, but some of the things are reasonable. Di you always get sick a lot? Because believe it or not, disinfecting everything you touch actually weakens your immune system, because your body is not getting exposed to anything. When it does, you automatically get sick because it's never exposed to it & doesn't know how to fight it off quickly. I had a time in my life where I was like that, and I got out of it, and I feel so much happier and freer in life.
