OCD is not only about extreme cleanliness, there’s more to it. I’m sure you have people around you who freak out when it comes to cleanliness and hygiene, but also there are people who are perfectionists and want everything to be seamless. And the fact is that their life is less messed up as compared to normal people. And if you suffer from OCD, you will relate to these images instantly.
When it is about completing your task you will be at it till you are satisfied with it.
Anything you arrange has to be even and neat; and you hate it if someone messes with your arrangement.
You have to clean your hands or at least sanitize them, more often than not.
You will judge people if they serve a sandwich like this.
You take great pleasure in slowly torturing a messy person in your head. How can they not clean their mess?
When you are at a friend’s house, you feel the need to fix things, straighten frames, fluff cushions and so on.
You hate it when people comment “you just overthink and over do things.” Yeah, So?
All the things you own look brand new. Even your gadgets, they are shiny and clean; not a stain on them.
You freak out all the time and for any thing. By now your friends (close ones) are used to your sudden panic-attacks.
Last but not the least. You take forever to explain your condition to new people, keeping in mind not to act like a weirdo.
Oh yeah and you are so glad that this article ended on an even number.
P.S. By the way OCD stands for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
