"OCD" about? Yeah, I know the word is over-used. Do you have any weird little idiosyncracies you'd dare confess?

Mine comes from being under that big ol' autism umbrella. I have a problem with "twinkle lights". I find if I look at them, I HAVE to try and count them. Drives me nuts!

Only with my books and dvds. The dvds have to be unscratched and my books have to be in as perfect shape as possible, no bent pages no tears in the pages or covers.

Does always wanting a perfectly clean and organized house count as OCD? If so, that would be mine.

I'm OCD about keeping my room a s***storm.

I don't like messes or odd numbers.

i got nothing...
i'm too relaxed to be ocd

I'm OCD about ((((Fear))))


Nah really, I'm not OCD. I'm more of a perfectionist. And no it's not the same.

I focus on making blueberry muffins disappear.

I must check my azz 16 times an hour for my wallet

3x when leaving home for anything running or burning (fire or water) and locks

avoid stepping on cracks although I know it's ridiculous and mother has passed away

Ummm...I think it comes from years working in pubs, but I like all the glasses neat, and in size variations...also the coffee cups on their shelf in their little families of matching-ness...

considering at any given time I can have 6 people drinking coffee and tea, and a glass of water each, and often up to 15 different people in the house...I don't think it's so much OCD as being practical.

I think hangers going different ways would drive me nuts!

No big hang-ups "during" meals at restaurants, but usually return the spice settings to original place

Hangers?...what the heck are they?...I hang my stuff on the floor...

Good visuals!

I have a strange habit of eating things one at a time on my plate.
I usually eat all my peas for example then move on to the potatoes
or rice or fish or meat what have you.

It is unconscious and I didn't realize I was even doing it until
I had lunch with a friend in high school who pointed out that it
was odd.



It is not a hard and fast rule or anything like that. I like to
sometimes blend things on my plate for example or put gravy or
sauce on things and I sometimes consciously go from one item to
the other.

But sometimes I still catch myself doing it.

I don't have the slightest idea why...



Also, when I work out I like to start the workout hitting the
speedbag for at least 5 or 10 minutes but I don't do it every
time and it doesn't bother me if the place I am going to work out
does not have a speedbag...Tho sometimes I miss it.

NO MORE WIRE HAAAAAAAAANGERS!!!!!!!

My books would probably be the closest, and that's more about cataloging them, then anything else.

And probably records/file cabinet/type of thing. Must be sorted and ordered properly.

I just prefer everything clean and neat.

the way the dishwasher gets loaded. things are meant to go in certain places, why doesn't everyone get this??

What's wrong with that? I do that all the time with my food, I don't think it's a problem.

I used to be quiet the perfectionest. Now I'm just not

1. I like putting heavy things down, very gently.

2. I like taking light foot steps.

3. love jumping around gaps on the pavement.

4. Don't ever slam doors.

5. Don't like covering patterns with anything.

That will do!

CDO - There, now it's in alphabetical order.

IM ocd with my art. If I make the smallest mistake I have to start over. I cant stand making eraser marks. Also it makes for lots of practice.

I'm fussy about my kitchen. I can't cook or eat in it unless it's clean.

I use a different dish cloth and towel every day. If I have a sponge, I microwave it.

I use Lysol on the sink before doing the dishes. Who knows what the kids have dumped in there?

I don't put my purse on the kitchen table or counters; to me, it would be about the same as putting my shoes up there. I try to keep it off the floor and put it in the wash once a week.

I also disinfect the doorknobs, phone, tv remote and keyboard once a week.

I know it might sound crazy, but we hardly ever get colds or flu around here. My grandkids are in and out a lot, so that's part of the reason.
