I have got upset about things breaking or getting damaged from when I was very little. Early on this would even apply to seemingly insignificant things - I would cry every time someone broke a plate or a glass. It’s changed now in that I’m only really affected by damage to things I’m attached to. But as well as actual damage, I also worry a lot about possible (even if unlikely) damage. For example, earlier this evening I dropped one of my stainless steel baoding balls on a tile floor. The steel is apparently high quality and very durable. I’m blind so have to rely mostly on my sense of touch to detect damage, and don’t notice any here. I also asked my mum if she could see any. She said she couldn’t, But I’m not sure she would tell me if she could, as she knows I would be very upset. Despite all the available evidence, I’m still really worried about it, I’m reluctant to use the balls until I’m absolutely sure they are in the same condition they were in before the drop.
I wonder if anyone can relate to any of this?
