How Deep is Your Eccentricity?

I hate my OCD, it's not something I admire, and something I look to let go of, instead of promote, let me say that now.
An example of mine is that all the coat hangers in my closet MUST face the same way (items face towards the right). I literally have troubles sleeping if I know or see a coat hanger facing the other way and often get out of bed at stupid times after battling it for hours, turn the coat hanger around, and then go to sleep soundly…
I have been known to measure the cuff of my jeans front, back, middle, on each cuff (IE double/triple cuff). Thankfully I'm just able to let that one go. It still bugs me knowing that I don't know if they are to the mm(1/10th") correct, but I'd spend hours doing it, and it'd be fucked up within a week by a mm or so, and I'd have to start all over again....I couldn't handle it, and in that instance, would rather deal with flared OCD than not...

I feckin hate it when I get into work after one of the others and the "We are Open" sign is not perfectly horizontal. If we can't get that right, then what the feck can we?
I nailed that every fuckin' morning!

I knew I did something right during my time there…

The same thing with the coat hangers (see unter 'What's in your closet ..'-thread) … facing the same way, same type and colour, ..
all my other garments, shoes, etc. are also very tidy .. same with my records; books; whatever ...
but I think, that's a 'collector-thing'I can leave my flat or my car, without controlling the locks for several minutes .. and when I'm sure the lights or the stove is off - then all's well.
I swear gladly like a sailor .. but Tourette is another matter
Hmm? ... I think the psychiatric hospital have to wait for a while.

I revel in chaos, you people are weird

@Megatron1505 I imagine this one might get under your skin?

this is a great thread. the thing where snowy mentioned about the cloth hangers. that is one that i'll have to do. it all have to face the same way, color arranged and type arranged otherwise i get irritated. the other thing i'm currently irritated about is that not all my hangers are the same.

Fortunately I don't suffer, however I would like to point out to those that do, it can be very debilitating and disruptive. I find it slightly offensive sometimes that people make light of this, and even claim they have OCD themselves, when in reality all they are is fussy or opinionated. At it's worse it's a psychological illness, disability even.

well fair point there, considering ocd is a form of anxiety disorder…

If you have OCD and ADHD, everything has to be perfect, but not for very long.

I don't have any of these hang-ups although I really wish it was called CDO because that way the letters are in alphabetical order.
