Ok.. so I have these crazy things that drive me crazy... like... When I make the bed or even when I'm sleeping if the blankets get off centered I'll wake up and fix them so there even on both sides and nice and neat. I sometimes count the holes in the ceiling tiles in the hospital or dr. office. I sometimes count the tiles on the floor in the mall. If I walk past something and my leg hits it... I just might have to walk back past it so my other leg hits it... do you think I have OCD??!! hehe... My BF says I"m crazy and he just laughs... but I even have to make sure that like papers are stacked neatly and pencils are sharpened the same length... I'm nutty... anyone else have any wierd habits???!!!

It's funny...I have to make sure I'm "even" (like when you described hitting your leg)...and I have other little quirks as well...You could have a mild form of OCD...or...you could be like me and are trying to control your life..which you really feel is out-of-control and you are trying to control it by the little things you do (like the bed sheets, etc)...and counting the holes could just be boredom...(I've done it in Dr's offices when there was nothing else to do during a long wait)...but at any time, any of those become obsessive and you find that it controls everything you do..it's time to see a Dr...otherwise, I'd say you're fine!

Everyone has some level of OCD. When it gets to the point that you HAVE to do something (like hitting an object with both legs), then you have a problem. Most people's are so mild they never notice it.
My thing is symmetry. The papers on my desk bug me if they aren't lined up, my keyboard has to be even with the edge of my desk, and stuff like that. However, I don't feel compelled to drop everything and line things up.

i appreciate your stance, J.B.H, and that of the different answerers in this concern! do not you only hate the way those little spirals intertwine, under no circumstances to be separated back? i have were given one female friend who's a finished professional at twine tangling one hundred and one. What does she do, walk round in circles even as she's speaking? Lol. per chance the international would nicely be restored to it truly is organic order, after all, if all of us party and lick this element! by using the way, i'm happy they did not take your particular stapler. in case you ever observe that it truly is lengthy previous lacking, beware because the subsequent step is the old table in the basement habitual. only concept i'd provide you a caution, ha, ha, ha!

I think you get bored easily and are a bit of a perfectionist. Chill and try relaxing a bit. And maybe have a mild case of OCD you might want to get that checked cause that can drive you off the wall.

Yes you have querky weird habits but not bad enough to have OCD. If you had it then your daily functioning would be impaired greatly.
I can't say that I have strange habits but I might be a little crazy...forgetful at times.I say I'm crazy but I'm not stupid.
Don't worry unless your habits get worse or more frequent and they interupt your life.Otherwise just laugh at yourself!!

It sounds like OCD to me, it is not bad, most people who have it are clean and neat people. You could go see a DR, but if it is not causing you any problems, dint worry.

You are definitely nutty and have OCD...seek treatment before it gets any worse....Im serious. I used to gold witha guy who had to address the ball 5 times (not more not less) before he hit it. If you interrupted him he had to start over. I quit playing with him

no i don,t think your crazy. it sounds like you maybe obsessive compulsive and any mental illness has a cause, chemical , biological. not crazy. if your bf thinks you are crazy ask him why he is with you. what does that say about his mental stated. Just work on your problems and take your meds and things do get better, they do take time and energy but results are out there to be had. good luck .....jinne

These are some very common OCD behaviours.
Don't worry about it unless it affects your lifestyle or becomes dangerous to you or those around you.

You are right on the edge. If you were to have some type of break down then you'd be there. Sorry to tell you.
Stay Happy
