I'm a counter and arranger. I have issues with how my bookmarks look. Certain shapes of list items bother me, I have issues with the number of games in my Steam library.
Probably mildly hoarding, started getting roms of all old games I enjoy after the scrubbing.
Jacob Edwards
everyone itt with a 3TB or bigger storage capacity is a hoarder
Asher Evans
I do the repeatedly checking things a whole lot. Not really anything else though.

Evan Rivera
I have the following, one is a combination:
Checkers: esp. when it comes to door locks and checking the location of my keys even though they are always in my front pocket.
Counter/Washer: After the water shuts off i have to flick the water off my hands six times and then use 2 paper towels for the initial dry and 2 more paper towels to complete the job. This can vary though on the quality of the paper towel if we are talking about a public restroom. I often wonder if they would save money by comparing the cost of a higher quality paper towel with the intention of less being used as opposed to a weaker paper towel where more are used.
Bentley Sanchez
I hoard things digitally but I'm pretty tidy IRL. I never delete stuff because I always feel like I might need it again later, even if realistically there is zero chance of that happening.
Matthew Clark
i want to stay away from stupid liberals as far away as i can
what does that make me? pic related, its me house

ODC is thrown around so much these days, people think that any attention to detail is a sign of the illness.
Gavin Cooper
If you're scared of imaginary things, that makes you delusional.
Daniel Hill
i can assure you, it is not imaginary ;)
Ian Nelson
I really hate when my spoon touches the sides of my coffee mug. Dunno if that counts tough
Samuel Smith
It's almost as if psychopathology exists on a spectrum or something.
Luis Robinson
how thick is your coffee since you are avoiding this?
Ethan Wright
I used to have OCD when I didn't have a job. Eventually I ran out of time to care about any of these things.
Noah Hall
>Do you have OCD Sup Forums? Not as far as I know, though I have a fairly sizable and still expanding file server, so I guess one could say that's kind of like hoarding.
Evan Butler
No
Eli Green
I'm a checker, since I cook so much I fear leaving my oven on while I'm off at work. Plus I live in the city, so I make sure my shit is locked up at night.
Digitally I'm a hoarder; I don't delete shit on my portable drives because I have this fetish about walking around post collapse society with a turkish coffee pot, a gun and a harddrive full of lost culture.
Camden Sullivan
it's okay I guess, I don't drink it with sugar anyway. But I can't tell it to people around me and they don't know how much it hurts when I hear that noise
Charles Cooper
I'm a checker. It can be pretty irritating, but it is good in a way.
Juan Diaz
>I have HIV - OP
Jose Fisher
Guess I'm a checker. I can check if I've locked my door up to 3 times.
Ryder Ortiz
but is it thick enough to have a spoon stand in it? Why do you even use a spoon?
Blake Allen
> washer and checker > how does it feel to not follow that washing and check thing? 7-8
Luis Lewis
if sorts and arrangements don't get you aroused, you probably don't belong here.

Gabriel Wood
My mother cursed me with the lowest luck score possible and I'm incredibly clumsy; please keep me away from this.
Grayson Russell
of course not, how could anyone drink something so thick a spoon can stand in it? That would be edible, not drinkable. I use the spoon because I feel satisfied when I don't touch the edge and it cools the coffee slightly faster

Obsessive compulsive disorder is ego dystonic. People suffering from it grow to feel a sense of repulsion towards themselves and their disorder, and will quickly develop habits that allow them to avoid the obsessions that cause their compulsions. Obsessive compulsive personality disorder on the other hand can manifest with similar symptoms to OCD but is ego syntonic. That is the sufferer feels it is a natural part of themselves and that it benefits them in their lives even while it destroys personal relationships and drives people away from them.
Chances are you're just a worry-wart or a neat-freak though.

Nice one, friend. Almost got me.
Blake Bell
Wew lad I'm sure Indians will neve have this issue
Benjamin Thompson
I feel this. That being said, my luck can't be too shite. Afterall I woke up 50 minutes until I had to board a flight yesterday on chance alone; which I somehow made. Fucking weird perk choices on birth, man.
Adam Diaz
Each time I leave my apartment I turn back after a few meters just to check that I locked it properly. Is has never happened that it wasn't locked when I checked.
Same goes for autism. If you go to a doctor and you tell him you have social anxiety there is a by chance that he will te you that your autisitc.
Nolan Martin
I have ocd but a different kind of ocd it makes sleeping very fucking hard as my brain shows me horrible stuff happening to my loved ones
I think they call it harm ocd
Logan Miller
Whatever I have it's painful and makes my life worse than it could be
Jonathan Flores
>Washers are afraid of contamination. They usually have cleaning or hand-washing compulsions.
I do this, but not because of fear of contamination. I dot it simply because I don't like my hands to feel sticky/greasy and don't like to make things I touch sticky/greasy.
Thomas Cox
I have all of this minus the superstitious aspect.

They compulsively hoard things that they don’t need or use. These are all basic human traits. You don't have OCD if you wash your hands 5 times a day or have problems throwing away an old photograph of your grandma or whatever (that's not hoarding) or are afraid of not doing work perfectly (what else is work for)
You haven't experienced real OCD until you fall asleep in the kitchen at 3AM because you spent the last 4 hours checking whether the oven is off and the fridge is closed and they're OBVIOUSLY off and closed but your FAGGOT BRAIN won't realize it and render you physically unable to leave the fucking kitchen until you pass out.
