Suggestable: You may be someone who is very sensitive to suggestion, even non-verbal ones. This MAY be a way you use to manage your anxiety. Rituals like this do not work because they do not address the root of the situation. Please see your doc to rule out medical conditions and then a mental health pro to help you learn to manage anxiety. Peace and good health.
