I said it was weird!
@FlyingJesus; I just disregarded the OCD part and just went with weird habits.

i'm the same with the tv volume ending in 5 or 0, there is no in between! also in my downstairs hall there's 3 switches, two operate the hall light (both at opposite ends) one is on its own and one operates the upstairs light. they both have to be facing the same way when they're off / on, same with the two upstairs which turn on and off the bathroom and upstairs hall one. sometimes i'll be running up and down to ensure they're all facing the same way because it really drives me mad if they're flicked alternate ways yet all lights are off
prob more of a habit than OCD
I hate all even numbers for some reason, I prefer things to be an odd number (or even with a 0 at the end) -- which is different as most people prefer even numbers.
The day I get to 200 in Ping Pong II is the day my life is complete.
Anything volume related has to be on numbers in the 5 times tables otherwise it bugs me.
I am very OCD with my nails, they all have to be the same lengths and shaped the same.
I get annoyed with people leave cupboards open and things aren't straight or have their own places.
The are loads that I can't think of tbh![]()
i'll be honest and say i don't really know what ocd is so this might not be it, but i'm constantly checking certain things out of fear of something happening. for example:
- car/house doors/windows to make sure they're locked
- house lights/sockets gotta be turned off unless they're being used. i sometimes wake up and panic in case my parents have gone to bed and left things plugged in so i go down to check because i won't settle until i do
- books/dvds/cds/games are all in alphabetical order. i sit by my pc and look up to my shelf to check if they're still in the right order in case i've made a mistake somewhere or someone's been here to put one back and put it in the wrong place.
- constantly checking my phone. not for texts/missed calls and stuff, but to make sure that it's not on silent and that the volume is on 50%. sometimes i'll get my phone out mid-conversation, which looks really rude, just to make sure it's still on loud.
- similarly to above, i'm constantly checking my alarms to make sure they're set at the right time, check that they're on and that they're set for the right days. i'll usually check a few times before going to sleep and multiple times again if i wake up during the night.
idk i'm always worried about things because i have anxiety so i don't think much of this because i've been like this since i remember.![]()
.
idk
my fan has to be on number 2 otherwise i dont sleep
my noise thing on my mac has to be on the 2nd or 3rd notch
i have to lock my back door, unlock it & then lock it again.. else i dont sleep or cant be comfortable leaving the house
I have a big problem with locks and taps.
How interesting. I think I'd call double checking that I've locked my doors not wanting to get burgled, not OCD :S It's sensible just to make sure.
