I like to rub my finger in my crotch and then bring it back up to sniff it because it smells really nice. Is this normal?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
No, this behavior is not considered normal and can be considered unhealthy and unhygienic. It's recommended to maintain good hygiene practices and to avoid sniffing or ingesting bodily secretions. If this behavior is causing distress or impacting your daily life, it's recommended to speak with a healthcare professional or mental health expert.<|im_end|>

But I feel ashamed and don't want to talk about this with anybody. How can I still get help to stop doing it?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
If you're feeling ashamed or embarrassed about your behavior, it can be difficult to reach out for help. However, it's important to remember that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. There are many confidential resources available to you, such as online support groups, hotlines, or therapy services. You can also consider reaching out to a trusted friend or family member for support. Additionally, many mental health professionals are trained to handle sensitive and confidential issues, and they can provide you with the support and guidance you need to overcome this challenge.<|im_end|>

Should I feel guilty about my behavior?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
It is not for me to decide where or not you should feel guilty. In general a person may feel guilty when they feel they have broken their own moral character. Something they regret and feel responsible for. So you first may ask yourself if this behavior breaks one of your morals.

Like for instance you can ask yourself:
- if this behavior is harming anyone or yourself?
- Did I make an agreement with myself to not do it? And you like to keep your internal promises.

Guilt can also be a very useful emotion to improve yourself. But you should be careful to not unnecessarily feel guilty.<|im_end|>
