He's not a "self proclaimed germaphobe".... He has been clinically diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder.
-
that dude is so lucky howie took it as likely as he did
-
I’m 45 and was diagnosed with ocd at age 13. I have it under control now. My felling is that although he was upset after he found out about the hand shaking, he should now turn focus on the fact that nothing happened to him as a result of it. It’s only ocd I tell myself and it’s going to be ok. It’s the brain sending false messages and when we act on them it intensifies.
-
I can understand him being upset because he was not expecting his phobia to basically be used as comedy and I don't doubt that it stressed him out to watch it play back. But at the same time, it helped him and it proved that he doesn't have to live with his condition. He should pursue it and learn more about it.
-
I don't suffer from ocd, but I got emotional watching him go through that... It was a mix of emotions.
-
dude, he has ocd. he’s not “self-proclaimed” by any means.
-
I believe him. There’s no way this dude would shake hands if it wasn’t for that. No way
-
I would have been so insanely pissed at the performer and everyone who let him do that!
-
I was so pissed at the hypnotist when he did that. I suffer from OCD and just seeing that happen made me cringe so hard.
-
I honestly think the other judges were hoping that this was going to help him.
-
I don't know, I am torn, on one hand, it was awesome to see Howie shake hands, the other, it was a very clear violation... before he even started, Howie said he would be ok as long as he didn't touch his hands
-
i thought howie would be mad like very very mad but look how kind he is, hes just letting it pass for the sake of comedy. i love his attitude
-
I love you Howie. :] idk what it is, but this is the most genuine response in the world
-
I'd give Howie a hug if I met him but I don't wanna make him uncomfortable. I have a few of the same issues as him so I understand.
-
“ oh no I got to phone her and apologize “ wait what? 😂
-
As I was watching Howie being hypnotized, and realizing what the hypnotist was going to do, I was uncomfortable. I don't have OCD, but I have other mental illnesses. You just don't do that.
-
Having ocd myself, I can really understand Howie’s feelings about this. This guy was rude.
-
Did anyone else know that the girl that got hypnotized in the audience the one with red hair is the actress from under the dome?
-
Rather than being angry, I would have thought Howie would have been amazed that something could HELP him to have less stress. The germ anxiety is debilitating! I would be grateful if anyone could reduce the anxiety in my life. There may be a hint of a cure for Howie in this experience. He should pursue this if he is intelligent.
-
It took 30 minutes. That would explain Stern's somewhat random "X". So at that point, it had probably been way longer than portrayed in the video.
