Obsessive Compulsive Tendencies?

[Calypso]

Anyone with OCD like tendencies? I personally have a couple. For example I need things to be even. So, if someone were to pinch my arm, I'd need my other arm pinched in order to feel comfortable again. Another is the tv and/or radio volume wither have to end in either a 5 or a 0. Don't judge me! Feel free to share any of your quirks.

Isn't OCD some kind of "mental disease" when you involuntarily repeat same actions, like checking the clock? I have plenty, but I consider them as a sign of boredom

The definition of Ocd:
Is an anxiety disorder characterized by uncontrollable, unwanted thoughts, and repetitive and ritualised behaviors you feel compelled to perform.

A lot of mine involve my professional/work environment more so than my private one.
At work, I have to make sure certain things are done in a certain way, every time. If they aren't it'll bother me until they're done right. Especially so if someone else tries to do it and does it wrong.

When I was younger I had a tendency to touch corners, like corners of televisions, tables and stuff and they had to be touched correctly. Like, there was a compulsion to touch the corner, and if I moved my hand over it in one direction, it felt wrong, like as if the corner was made of skin and I just pulled all the skin back revealing an open wound. So, I had to move my hand over it in the opposite direction, after first moving my hand over it in one direction, so that it felt better (putting the skin back over the open wound).

I dunno why, but even thinking about it know gives me a semi-compulsion to do it.

I had something similar to this. If say, I was moving a chair, and one leg hit before the others, I'd have to like, tap the opposite leg on the floor as well. Just as an example.

Volume is a problem for me too. It has to end in an even number or five. In my math class we had these numbered sleeves for calculators, I had to take one out of an even numbered sleeve or a multiple of five, and then I had to put it back the same way. Idk why it just always bothered me.

I think a lot of people have something like this, because for me it's rotations. I unconsciously try to minimize my number of rotations as if they were counted on a number line, so I can put the number back down again by rotating in the opposite direction. I try not to think about it, but it really bothers me if I don't acknowledge it.


It doesn't apply in video games for the most part, with the exceptions of things like EA skate.

I have trichotillomania, which is a disorder in the same 'category' as OCD but not a direct form of it. Still meets the dictionary definition though.


To save you uncomfortable research, it basically means I pull my own hair out.

[Wolfles]

For me, it's mainly when I am at my computer, everything has to be perfectly there, the monitors have a certain degree they have to be turned, my mouse has to be at a certain spot, same with my keyboard, as well as just everything to do with my desk

[Drakeyboy]

I only have one thing i ocd about and it's every time i leave the house or anyone else's house i need to pat down all my pockets. Even if it's just going outside to get the mail (i have a mailbox) i need to pat down my pockets.

If i forget to do it i feel naked.

Also i always need to wear a belt too. Or again i feel naked.

[MrRazot]

Sometimes I just think things need to be aligned perfectly >_>

[Honey Bun]

God, yes. I have to repeat certain actions so many times before I feel comfortable, especially. Or I get this feeling that something bad'll happen if I do something a certain way, or if I don't do it a certain way... it's really annoying.

Right now, I have a very round figure of money in my bank account. Or I would IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE £0.98 SITTING THERE AFTER IT!
