Morphing or Transformation OCD

Morphing fear involves a fear of being contaminated by someone else's undesirable traits and characteristics, leading to a fear of becoming like that person. Morphing can include a wide range of fears related to changes in the appearance, shape, or size of objects, body parts, or sense of self. A person may fear becoming, crippled, disfigured, aged, or even fully transforming to another person, object or fictional character.

A person may be afraid to be in contact with people who may potentially contaminate them with some undesirable traits, thoughts, emotions, memories, beliefs, values, mannerisms, or with their whole personality.

These fears can be extremely distressing and can significantly impact a person's quality of life. They can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and hopelessness, and can also lead to social isolation and difficulties in maintaining relationships.
