I do have OCD. My OCDS are classified as "checking " and germs. It is hard to deal with. But I am open about it when I meet new people that will be around often, because it's much easier if they are aware than if they are asking why I'm counting something for the tenth time.
Saying ocd doesnt make anyone sound cool. Like angel said Ocd is a bitch. Everyone laughs at the stupid things i do. But hey, it's for a non compulsory reason
If I'm tidying stuff, they all have to be squares or rectangles that form a perfect square when put together in a tray.?
It all counts. Just like any other thing there are various levels. To say one is more real than the other doesn't quite make sense.
Don't most people just like things to be tidy/perfect? I think it's human nature rather than OCD. People who suffer from OCD just take it to the extreme, unintentionally.
I'm not sure who thinks OCD is cool, but technically even people that don't have it can form develop an obsessive compulsion.
Nah, when it's really clean and I just cleaned it ten minutes ago because I cleaned it 8 minutes ago because I cleaned it 8 minutes ago because I cleaned it 8 minutes ago because I cleaned it 8 minutes ago because I cleaned it 8 minutes ago because I cleaned it 8 minutes ago.
Tbh FallenAngel you're wrong. OCD has many different classifications. Some can be small and ppl have no problem coping in daily life routines. Some are so bad that ppl can hurt themselves or just can't have a normal calm routine for a day. And ppl have different types of OCD. Kinda don't like how you're coming off on this thread thou. And you basically stated you stopped talking to your friend... oh well your choice. I do feel sorry for ppl who struggle in life with this. They are strong ppl tho. Because even with everything going on they still do what is needed to get through the day.
