OCD to the mothersmurfing extreme

I used to lean towards OCD when I was younger but it's faded with time and confidence. I used to wash my hands excessively. In multiples of four( ie using soap and rinsing, then again), I couldn't stop on an odd number. Sometimes I'd just wash my hands over and over and over and had to work really hard to force myself to stop. Then I couldn't touch anything for a while. If I touched the floor, I had to wash my hands, and doorhandles, pets etc. If I got nervous, I would wash my hands as a kind of reassurance mechanism.

Now it's not so bad, I can usually keep it under control! I used to have lots of other little obsessions (lights turned off and on, shoes being lined up in my bedroom, curtains pulled the correct way) but I squashed them all, only this one has persisted.

"I have to turn the light off and on 8 times when i walk into a room otherwise my family will die," guy from the cafeteria in the museum in a Friends episode. haha. :D

Yeah! :colbert:

Having said that, I yell at my friends when they put my stuff back in any other way than the way I had it.

I put all my stuff away in a particular way.

Hey guys, my brother is gay because he beat me at cards.

:eek: Small world.

Everyone has OCs, but I do not believe I have a D.

My OCs:
Hairs that need to be plucked (thanks for reminding me)
Even limb stimulations (like, if I step on a stair mid-foot, I have to do it with the other foot, or if BJ smacks my right arm I tell him he has to smack my left)
Uhh... A couple of others I can't think of. Nothing that's a big deal.

Wtf?

BJ actually does it too. I'm sure a lot of people do.

It just bugs the :bou::bou::bou::bou: outta me!

Oh, that reminds me, I can't stand it when I realize my fingernails are touching my skin. BJ sometimes presses on my finger just to set me off, and I start pushing my fingers against my palm to pull it away from my nails. I don't do it hard enough to hurt though so whatever.

I feel soo sorry for BJ.. Raistlin can handle you better...

I'd say that I obsessively wash my hands a lot, but if I was to actually pay attention to how often stray/wild animals are involved it probably wouldn't be that far out of the ordinary at all.
Aside from that... ummm... all cards in a deck must be rotated in the same direction unless the backs are perfectly symmetrical, nobody can see the unfinished product of anything I'm writing, etc, etc.
