Why I Am Getting Shock While Touching Metallic Things?

Hi,

I am getting electrocuted whenever i tauch plastic or metalic things; mostly the chairs, my mobile phone, laptop, a cup and even the fridge door.

One time i went to shake hands with my friend and he felt the shock - usually a sparking sound is produced and I have to snatch my hand first before attempting to hold the intended thing.

Doctors, what is my problem?

Hi and thanks for this query.

The problem is 100% mental. There is no reason to think you have electrical shocks. You need to stop saying you would experience a shock each time you come in contact with something. Who ever said he felt a shock spoke a blattant lie and only helped to make you believe what is not real. I will suggest you seek the services of a psychiatrist!

I wish you well.
