I mean like, after I type a password on a computer, I’d rub my fingers across the entire keyboard to make sure any fingerprints/oil-residues gets evenly distributed so its harder to know the password. Same with phone unlock codes, I just use my fingers to rub against the part of the screen where the virtual keyboard was displayed.

Am I being weird? I’ve had this habit since the first time I got my first digital electronics.

    Eh, therapists are not cybersecurity experts. They have no way of knowing if this is reasonable or not. Just strategies for if it is emotional.

    When people say shit like this, I wonder if they’ve ever been.

      If you are a regular-ass person using their normal phone/computer, and have no reason to suspect someone is trying to hack you, then this is some extremely paranoid behavior.

        Are you one? If not, you don’t get to put words in their mouth. Like, I’ve been to therapy and I know how it goes, but I wouldn’t diagnose by proxy like that.

        Just like medical doctors, the things that actually concern them can be surprising.
