why do I get so angry when someone takes my clothes without permission? why do I have a meltdown when someone puts my clothes in the washing machine & dryer? why do I get so *** off when someone hangs up/folds my clothes? why do I feel so aggravated when someone puts my clothes in my closet & doesn’t put them in the right place? why do I have to have the clothes in my closet organized from most worn to least worn & in categories? why do I feel like screaming when my things are messed with? why can’t I just be normal? why do I get so overwhelmed & anxious when my clothes are washed with someone else’s? what is this? why am I like this?

It sounds like you're dealing with a lot of emotional intensity around your belongings, especially your clothes, and it’s clearly causing you distress.

@ilovemycat16 As I turn the pages of life, sometimes words emerge that uncover the stories hidden deep inside me. These are the stories that are not shared with anyone, nor do they find their way to my lips. But inside, in some corner of my heart, these stories shout, cry out, and demand answers.


My emotions often feel like a mystery. Sometimes they are like blurry dreams, scattered before they can be fully seen. Other times, they feel as deep as the ocean, where no light can reach. There are moments when I ask myself:
"Can anyone truly understand me? Or am I a stranger even to myself?"

A big part of my life has been spent struggling to meet others' expectations, all the while losing my own voice in the process. People say, "Be happy, life is short!" But do they ever wonder if happiness is just a façade? Or is it something that rises from within?

I often feel like my emotions are locked in a room, bound by chains, with a guard standing at the door. I want to scream, to break free from my silence, but then a fear holds me back:
"If I release my inner world, will anyone accept it?"

Love, sincerity, loneliness, and failure—all these feelings collide at once. Sometimes it feels like my heart is a battlefield where each emotion fights for its survival.

But amidst all this, a moment of light also appears. It’s the moment when I realize that my emotions aren’t my weakness; they are my identity. They are the things that make me human, that set me apart from others.

I’ve learned that instead of suppressing my emotions, understanding them and living through them is true freedom. I’m trying to remind myself that the world may not understand me, but as long as my inner world accepts me, that’s what matters most.

If you too are fighting your inner battle, remember: you are not alone. Everyone has a story hidden inside. Instead of hiding it, sometimes it’s worth sharing. Perhaps someone will connect with your story, maybe your truth will give someone else hope.

Your emotions are your strength. Don’t hide them—live through them.

It's possible that you are neurodivergent/ there's some OCD going on from the sounds of it. Try not be hard on yourself for it. We all have different perspectives and experiences of things. That does sound difficult and frustrating- I wouldn't like it either and I also organise my clothes in that way- makes sense. I have my main section of clothes that I find most comfortable/versatile all in one spot. Nothing 'wrong' with you- we're all wired differently ð©·
