Who's over protected about their stuff

Post Reply New Topic

I like never let anyone in my house because im so afraid for my stuff.

I feel really uncomfortable when people use my stuff without asking,and I hate when they misuse things or return my stuff in worse wear than when loaned.I usually couldn't care less about the stuff,it's that they've disrespected or convoluted my arcane sense of "order" that upsets me.

I don't like it so much when someone touches my books. Family members are ok though. Last week my teacher touched my book to see what it was, and I nearly freaked. I can get very upset if I can't find my book either.

Me too. I have had one since I was a little girl and I can only drink hot milk drinks in that one or else it just doesn't taste the same...literally. If it ever breaks, I will ...well I can't even think about it!

Someone moved it the other day when they were looking for something in my cupboard. Took me an hour to calm down internally. How 2 years old is that???

I do.. but not as much as when I was younger.

I used to obsess and safe keep a lot of silly objects like luches and food mum made me to take on school camp, I also always check my wallet and phone are in my bag when I'm out, but that one is OCD.

I had a friend who vehemetly disliked anyone touching his belongings.

One day, long ago, I went to his house with a mutual friend. I decided to play a prank on him by (why I did this, I have no clue...) drinking the water in the vase that held the rose his dear girlfriend had given him on Valentine's day. We knew it would make him a little ticked off but he'd just puch me in the arm and be none worse for the wear.

But I miscalculated.

Even though I didn't harm the rose, he became furious we touched one of his most beloved posessions and threw me and my friend out of the house. That was the next to last time I ever saw him. That was the early 90's.

Some people can be awfully fussy about people touching their swag.

I'm extremely over-protective about my stuff. And I mean extremely. I don't dare share anything with anyone and I'd most likely go insane if I lost the thing that matters most to me at the time. I went through that a few months ago when my friend decided to do a prank with it at a ski trip. I actually nearly hit her! And then when one boy was making fun of it, I did beat him up! And trust me, it wasn't pretty... He still had the scar three weeks later.

I'm overprotective about my stuff
I felt sick to my stomach whenever someone tried moving things. Oh it was even worse when my mom would try moving or "cleaning" up things in my room (which I would detest).

I'm also pretty particular about certain drawings, computer, and just about anything else. Heh, this has gotten me into some trouble. I guess they just don't get it, I need things to be a certain way.

Oh my god I so relate to this topic. I can't STAND anyone moving or touching my things. I was housesitting for this couple, and they came back early. The wife swept all my stuff out of the kitchen, erased my messages from the answering machine, and called me in to ask which bottles I wanted to keep because she wanted to throw them out. I tell ya...I've never felt so enraged my whole life. I wanted to throttle her!! !! I think anyone would be annoyed, but as an Aspie it totally did my head in.

Lol don't worry, I know exactly what you mean. The first time my Dad used one of my mugs, I was furious and refused to speak to him for the next few hours (and then my sister said it was "just a mug" and I was being childish, which of course didn't go down well ).

i once screamed at my sis for rearranging my collection of vcds, which belonged to an era when i 1st started buying vcds w my limited pocket money, even tho after a few yrs, i cldn't b bothered to keep track of wat i bot, those 1st few r still my treasures. i got so angry i shifted them to my rm n declared them untouchables to the family.

still another incident, for the 1st dunno-how-many cds i bot, i kept the plastic bags which came w the cds. a few yrs after i stopped dat habit, we moved hse n my mum threw them away n i got so pissed i screamed at her n went to retrieve my 'collectibles' back from the trash bin.

basically, for most stuff dat i own, i dun mind ppl touching, but everytime they do, i get worried cos i knew no one wld take care of the stuff as well as i do.

and i haf a rule in the hse for ppl touching/using my ppty:

"Place anything u displaced back to its place."

I hate anyone borrowing my stuff,
it's so freaking annoying.

People actualy refuse to touch my things because they're scared I'll go off on them. My neice is the only one who won't listen. I have this three foot tall stuffed giraffe and she tries to sit on it (she is 12) everytime. She's succeded in breaking one of it's legs. She also broke a little ceramic figure I made by breaking it once. My Dad would kick my stuffed animals just because they were in his way when he was little and refur to them as junk or trash. Kids on the playground would grab them off my desk and play keep away and I would beat them up really hard when I finnaly got them back.

And people know better than to borrow my stuff.

Even reading this thread gives me anxiety...that's the truth.

I was overprotected with all my belongings as a child.
Today I dont mind if my roomie moves things around cause I try to remind myself that I will always always find it.
There was only this one time when he "helped" me to sort out a bunch of papers and threw them away.I totally flipped and
took the whole recycling bag and turned it upside down and emptied it on the kitchen floor and stayed in the kitchen going through every little paper in there until I had found it all again.Took me a nice 2 hrs.
When Im at my parents house my mom likes to unpack my bags for me and organize everything elsewhere,in closets and such and I have to tell her everytime NOT to and she still does it and just doesnt understand how much it stresses me out to not see it all there in front of me.I just have to know where its at and that all is in place.

and this should not be confused with me being neat or anything*L* but its very organized chaos*L*

should it be overprotected or overprotecting??? ughh language barrier*grrrr*

um,nevermind.
