QotD: Neurotic Behavior
What's the one thing you're most neurotic about?
One thing? Are kidding me??
When I was about 7 or 8, I had a birthday party in which I locked myself in my bedroom crying. Why? Cuz my friends wanted to play with my toys. And my mother had let them!!
It's the same now. If I have a party, I worry someone will break my dishes, knickknacks, furniture, electronics, appliances, CDs, DVDs, the glass in the framed prints on the walls, a window, or my heart. Mostly though, I worry someone will accidentally let out the cat.
It's embarrassing, but the loss of control over my own home is really too much for me to take.
So I'm working on it. I've only been in my new place a few weeks and I've already had a small spontaneous open house, a baking day, and a dinner guest. Someday I might be normal....
Nah.
