Laurie:

--- Quote from: crazybritishsteve --- My girlfriend annoys me sometimes by changing the volume to an odd number, right infront of me, cuz she knows i'll have to change it.

--- End quote ---


That sucks. Girls are so mean. My boyfriend thinks my odd number-thing is cute, and is in fact trained to kiss me odd numbers of times. Sometimes I'll pretend that I didn't notice, and he'll make me kiss him again just to evenodd(?) it out.

Ditto on the back-to-the-door thing, and the hands. I find knitting to be an excellent pasttime.

Glad to see, from someone else, that I'm not alone on the "equal sensations" thing, although I've never stapled myself.

I'm going to be getting my ears pierced a third time soon, and a tattoo in the center of my back, and a cartilege piercing on the top of my right ear, to balance out the tattoo on my left hip.

Why does everyone have a thing with even numbers? I'm telling you, they don't balance!

Also, doors should usually be closed, but closet doors must always be. The room I'm in now has a door that's held open by mounds of junk, and I can't sleep well.

I don't know if this is related, but on the topic of strange problems: does anyone else with OC-tendencies have sleep disorders? I tend to have very vivid dreams (bad ones-- the gore is too frequent to call them nightmares anymore) and bouts of sleep paralysis. Both contribute to some of my nighttime OC behaviours.

Alyxz:
Dont forget also, that this is all conversational 20's.

Keep in mind two things: almost no one ever exhibits textbook symptoms and only textbook symptoms.

and two: it's a conversation between people in their 20's which means she could be anywhere from unable to walk down certain sidewalks all the way too: she likes her hands clean.

Come to that, I like my hands clean too.  Obsessively.  It really bothers me when my hands are dirty and I must wash them at the first available oportunity.  BUT: this has never stopped me from grabbing something dirty if it needed to be grabbed (I can wash my hands after)...it never stopped me from becoming a painter (ever see a painter whose hands were clean?  My sink was well used) and it's never effected my sex life.

Probably I would not be diagnosed by any competent proffesional as legitamate OCD.  On the other hand, when going to wash my hands a second time in five minutes after getting a bit of beer spilled on them, I might easily say conversaitonally to a friend "Heh, gotta wash my hands again...damn OCD acting up."

Of course, it's also highly unlikely that my friends would start several threads on the internet to discuss what I meant by that comment...

Paper Beats Rock:
Man, I was really hoping that Marten got it together with OCD girl, it seems like he hasn't been laid in, like, forever.  Or is he just like Ross from Friends and he's banging hookers the whole time but Jeph just doesn't bother showing it?

I'm enjoying this thread... I agree with the OCD being a result, or a component of an intelligent or highly active mind, and in my case, that probably explains my tendencies, even if they are somewhat minor...

Kindergarten: I measured the spaces between my words, so they were all perfectly even. When every other kid drew a house, they'd draw it free hand, i wouldnt even touch the paper unless i had a ruler... this is when i was 5/6 people.

I was taken to a shrink when i was about 4 (or earlier) and i told him his office was messy. He then told my mother that i wasnt sleeping cause i had an overactive mind... So its not suprising that OCD people have sleep problems.

My tendencies now, aren't that huge, although revolve highly around routine, things have to be done a certain way, and if they aren't perfect, im not happy....

OCD, can benefit some people, which is probably the case with me, although the constant need for perfection screws things over sometimes...
