Same but I feel like it's not really a bad thing because phones actually are so dirty

Yes did this with my phone I like to keep my tech in mint condition the problem is you end up being miserable and not enjoying it. I did this with my laptop too. And it had to be perfect. Id take the flashlight on the phone and shine it on the LCD to make sure not one speck of dust or streak was on the screen. You gotta stop. Tell yourself you're gonna take your microfiber wipe it quikly once a day and you're done. You're gonna always have some prints on your nice iPhone screen so what?

karter the alcohol in the hand sanitizer is ruining your screen...ignore the clickbait articles phones aren't that dirty you aren't going to die from not cleaning your phone for a few weeks. Quick wipe with a microfiber cloth everyday and every couple of weeks maybe a few squirts of anti-static screen cleaner that doesnt have alcohol or ammonia in it for screen and case. I like how we're combining OCD and tech talk.

I obsess constantly about my hands being dirty and feel like I can actually see the germs and bacteria crawling all over my hands if I can’t wash them as soon as I touch something. It’s really embarrassing since people in my life have noticed this “weird” behavior but it’s a huge problem for me and I don’t know how to make the obsessive thoughts stop.

i swear I’m either schizophrenic or my ocd is just THIS bad. my phone has been acting weird, like my screen turns black and then it’ll turn back on to where i was (i guess it freezes?) when that happens i immediately panic. my head tells me that my phone is acting like that because im being watched and the police will show up to my house. i had a lot of screenshots on my phone from social media, it was like outfit ideas (outfits on other people, influencers) I went through and deleted all those photos, i feel like they looked bad/suspicious.

I’m so scared. Part of me feels ok and part of me feels like I need to clean everything off. Basically my sweater had a stain on it from food it was newly washed but I decided to throw it in the wash again. While throwing it in the laundry basket I noticed a specific type of clothing that scares me. I quickly put the sweater on top of the used laundry and left. My phone was in the living room and I’m pretty constantly scared it will get contaminated by laundry I’m not sure why but that fear started randomly. Anyway I had to walk past the living room to wash my hands in the kitchen because someone had to use the bathroom badly and was waiting for me to just throw my laundry in to go to the bathroom. Anyway I’m scared I went near my phone or contaminated it with my hands. I can’t remember the details fully either but I just remember walking straight to the kitchen but I don’t know. I’m really scared and I want to clean everything like my phone and everything it was near. The thing is my fear is real because used laundry is so gross. What do I do? When throwing clean laundry in a basket should you wash your hands? Do most people? Even if the article of clothing isn’t dirty? Because maybe my hands accidentally went near the actual gross laundry I don’t know
