There's this really weird thing I do, where I count, in a word; how many times I'd have to press the key on a phone text-wise. What I mean is, Back when you had to press buttons on phones to text, there was a specific number of times you had to press a key to get to the letter. For example, to write "Hi" you'd have to press 44-444. For "Cat" you'd have to press 222-2-8 Etc etc. Well I have this thing where in my head I do that, but two times on the right side and two on the left, and has to end in the middle. Hard to explain. For instance, CAT would be 2-2 (right side) 2-2 (left side) 8 (middle). It's really weird and hard to explain. Anyways, it doesnt always end in the middle (both sides have to be even) so I add words to match it until it does. I guess thats some sort of OCD cuz it cant not end in the middle. That probably makes no sense cuz its weird as fuck but it started when I got my first phone because I could text really fast without looking, one or two hands. I had about 15-20 thousand sent texts a month, and I went on youtube to look up the world's fastest texter buy im not sure if it was legit or not cuz I texted faster. Fuck you technology for fucking my brain up!
^ it can be something you got used to doing. OCD doesn't just start on one thing out of the blue. Most ppm do have some type of it but is so small ppl pass it up. And it doesn't stop you or should say slow you down in your daily routine.
But the whole "it HAS to end a certain way and I wont.stop.until it does" wouldnt be some sort of ocd?
It would be some sort of way for OCD, like for example "every book has to be alphabetical by last name or else the house will collapse" something like that
Tbh Jopo only ppl say you have to end it or you will keep doing it. Tbh ppl can some what grow out of an OCD. Really it's all in your head. In your case that is just something small hun. Like I have a bad habit when I drink things I count. I count how many drink I take and I've seen myself doing it on even numbers or sets of 5s. Then I add up how many drinks I took to finish that cup or bottle. OCD is really only big in cases for ppl if it slowed down or stopped your daily life.
I hate when ppl say "Im so OCD" etc. U sound stupid. U cannot be so OCD. U cannot be so Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Thats like me saying Im so cancer. Or something. Really. Im done now and I did not read this long post. Tra la la
Ok for a gd example. Many ppl play music or watch tv at some point. So see if you do this. Your volume do you have a habit keeping it on even numbers, odd numbers, or sets of 5s. I have a bad habit that it kinda bugs me if its not on an even number. So if someone was in the car with me and turned up the volume and stopped on 13 I'd change it to 14 or 15.
