Why do I get triggered by this?

[pacifyherrr]

I have always wondered why this affects me so much. I am very careful around my clothes. If there's one stain that can't be removed or is on the clothing permanently I get so triggered id literally buy that same clothing again even if it wasn't noticeable to anyone but me. My friend borrowed my hoodie and gave it back to me with a few ink stains which can't be washed away. I never wear that hoodie anymore because it makes me feel bad.

If I go to school and notice a stain on my shirt that I hadn't noticed before I feel a lot less confident and I think about it the whole day. This is not normal because when I ask people about it they say its not noticeable and so on but I want everything to be very clean, not necessarily my surrounding but only my clothes.

I always try to wash my clothes after having worn it one time because if I wear it and it feels worn I feel dirty and not neat. Do anyone have any idea what this can be?

Just means that you're self-conscious about your clothes/appearance and take pride in the way you look. You want to look good which includes your clothes being in pristine condition.

I'm the same way. Noticed a stain on my trousers and had to go all the way home to change. lol.

I think this is extremely accurate. I am very self-conscious about myself, clothing just makes me feel better if it compliments me and it makes me feel complete.

@pacifyherrr Yup, exactly. Clothing is huge part of my identity and I like to take care of what I own.

Lol love it
It's called wanting to look and feel
Good and I really like that I wouldn't worry about it really

I get dirty every day

And I get dirty
But there's times where I wash my device two and three times before I call them clean or before I put them in the dryer

But if I have clothes and if I can't get to stay down they become work clothes or I just throw it away depends on what kind of stain it is

I don't know but buying the same thing seems extreme 😂
