That's not an OCD problem...is it?

YUMMAY!

I hope not. I'm just thankful that I'm only like this with my own stuff, and I don't mind it really when other people's rooms or stuff is totally disorganized.

I just thought of another one: My Gadgets on Windows Sidebar are grouped and placed with precision on my desktop so that they don't cover specific parts of my wallpaper, and all windows must be the exact same size (I will go through and open all my main folders in Explorer and then close them so that when I open them next time, they are automatically the right size).

so far this poll tells me that nearly 70% of TOTAs have no idea what OCD is.

We all know that were are not clinically diagnosed w/ OCD or are anything close to actually having OCD, however we all have our little quirks which is our form of 'OCD'

The interesting thing for me is how I developed it. I lived in Venezuela for a year, and I guess to cope with the less sanitary conditions there, I reacted by just trying to clean up my surroundings. A friend of mine has been living in French Guiana for the past 3 months, and she was VERY messy before, but now she's developed the exact same thing. It definitely has its benefits, so I just try to focus on those rather than think about how much of my time/energy is spent for it.

And by it, I don't mean actual OCD, just the excessive habit of cleaning and organizing.

I cannot get in my car and drive anywhere unless I buy a coffee before getting to where I am going. Even if I go to the corner store I have to drive out of my way to get a coffee first. As long as there is a coffee in the car then I am fine to go to where ever I am going.

So if the poll asked "do you have strong preferences regarding trivial matters?" then a yes vote would be acceptable. Saying that idiosyncrisies equate to OCD is like saying feeling sad equates to clinical depression.

sox... that's all i'll say

Oy.

1. Being a geek does not constitute having OCD, by any definition of the word.

2. Most people on this forum aren't even computer literate enough to be computer geeks. We do have a few programmers and IT people, but there are many more who (for example) can't figure out how to install Windows or get MP3s to stop playing in QuickTime.

3. About 2% of the adult population has OCD. I seriously doubt that any forum could possibly be so selective, unless it was a forum on OCD.

4. OCD is a serious medical condition. What the hell is it with people trying to brag about their phoney-baloney illnesses? Everyone's "addicted" to this music or has "ADD" or "OCD" or "social anxiety" or "chronic depression" or God knows what the fuck else. I think the only serious outbreak in here has been the outbreak of Blitherer's Disease, AKA Acute Don't Know Shit but Have an Opinion Anyway Syndrome.

As Moral Hazard pointed out (and I'm really glad that someone else did), being a neat freak or a spelling nazi or having some other irrational pet peeve does not equate to a clinical medical condition. You got a diagnosis from a shrink? Fine, tell us all about it. Otherwise, STFU. kplzthx.

i think you have a cucumber-in-ass disorder

btw, why don't you go find yourself a forum board where you can talk to people who match your obviously superior intellect instead of constantly correcting us small minded folk.

HEY, I'm here!

Seriously, this post is out of line. Everyone should have their say regardless of whether or not it is palatable to all. Moreover, why would you want to silence people that are trying to raise the general level of understanding or clearing up ambiguity? The only motivation I can see is that being corrected is uncomfortable. If that's the motivation then that's just plain sad.

We all understand that we don't actually have OCD. I do not believe that the OP was actually being 100% serious when he created this poll. That may have been his original intention, however, as you can see, the point of the thread changed from actual OCD to our own perceived version of OCD.

So yes, we know we don't have OCD...thanks for pointing out the obvious..

Actually, my point of contention is with the poor use of diction and the, subsequent, further erosion of the English language.

No.

No.
