    This may not help you, but what helps me is randomly choosing times to be “dirty”. Not with showering, but your hands/feet. Obviously, if you get something bad like salmanella or poop on your hands, wash it off. But sometimes, if I place my hands on the ground, or they just get dirty in general, I’ll not wash my hands before eating. I do this because I am very well aware that my hands are not clean, but it’s like exposure therapy for me so that it doesn’t get too out of hand.

    Don’t spread the grossness to others, like if you had dirty hands, don’t cook or place your hands all over people, but just expose yourself to it for a little bit so that you can realize a little bit of gross is ok.
