Is it possible to be a "little bit" OCD?

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

Almost everyone on the face of the Earth has some degree of OCD in their lives. It may be in the way you keep your work environment, the way you like your bed made, the way you fold your laundry, set the table, etc.

OCD becomes a problem when you can't let something go. For instance, it might drive you nuts if someone comes to your desk, picks up the stapler and puts it down on the wrong side of the desk but if you're to the point where you can't function if the stapler isn't back in it's EXACT spot, or you're doing something harmful to your or someone else's health and just can't stop, you need some counseling.

Answer 3

To extend most of the answers here, I would say that having OCD is not binary: either you have it or you don't. It is a disorder that lies along a spectrum. People who would not be diagnosed as having OCD would fall lower on the spectrum than those who are.

These little "quirks" may have an adaptive function for our species. However, sometimes extremes may exist in populations (i.e. diagnosable OCD), due to genetic mutations, environmental factors, and the interaction between genes and environment.

Answer 4

We are all obsessive or compulsive in certain ways, but we usually term them as our little idiosyncracies. So yes, if you use the diagnosis of OCD loosely, I guess you can say everyone has a "little bit" of OCD.

Only when the obsessions and compulsions begin to adversely affect your daily living and obstruct your quality of life, then OCD should become a possible concern.

Answer 5

Yes, most all of us have mild symptoms of OCD in one form or another. They are the little things that drive the other people nuts that we live with! :) We, carry on as usual, oblivious to what we are doing.

Answer 6

Eeyore and Pooh are better of acquaintances so i'm hoping they're continuously happy. it particularly is probable obtainable if there is not any honey left and Eeyore is going forward and nicely-knownshows some for Winnie the Pooh!

Answer 7

I agree with the psychologist. From a woman's perspective, I become OCD about once a month if you get my drift! :)

Answer 8

everyone has their own little quirks... some are a bit OC, some are a bit histrionic, a bit schizoid, a bit antisocial, a bit avoidant....etc... and that's perfectly fine... it only becomes a disorder if it interferes with your ability to do what you gotta do :o)

Answer 9

i definitley think it is. you dont have to be full blown OCD to have a couple symptoms.
