Ok so I have a few quirks about me that my family and friends think are crazy. Im not crazy and some of the stuff I do/ think i don't find "weird" it just makes sense to me.

for example, today we had a christmas party and someone pointed out the blinking lights on the tree and liked how they "twinkle" I said I hated it cause it was just random how they blinked they had no order or pattern of blinking and really bothered me.

I also don't like certain people touching me... I don't know how to explain how one person can touch me but another can't its just something about me.... I will admit that's "weird" but its how my brain works, I can't help it.

there's also other small things that bother me too such as uneven things, food touching, and stuff being out of place. but that's not weird, its called being NEAT right?

I don't think its OCD cause I rarely count stuff and do rituals and stuff... and if it is, my aunt said id have to go to therapy where they would force me to do stuff that would make me uncomfortable til I "am better" ....NOT happening on my clock!
 
Look, you like things to be in order, and for people to stay out of your "bubble". That's OK. Its not "wierd". I do think it is somewhat OCD, but I am not a psychiatrist. I do the same things though... Things have to be in order. I sort laundry in an unconventional way, though I didnt know it was so much different from everyone else until I said something about it in casual conversation, lol! Its cool honey, there's nothing "wrong" with you. You just like things to be uniform and neat. Hakuna Matata!!!
 
although im not a psychiatrist i do have OCD and trust me if you had it you'd be going nuts.personally i think you may be a little bit weird, but i doubt theres actually anything wrong with you.i mean,i dont like it when certain people touch me,i dont know why either,i just dont.and not being amazed by a couple of lights on a tree doesn't make you crazy.as for the neatness,every one's OCD has a different level.for me its really bad and i find myself doing the same things over and over.but i have to point out that you can have OCD without having any cumpulsions.and unless your obsessing over the thoughts in your head its probably not OCD.(lol lucky for you someone with OCD found this post right?)but in all honesty,if i were you i would go see a therapist on the count of 2 reasons,just because i tell you theres nothing wrong with you doesnt mean there isn't.and secondly,if there is something wrong,having the right diagnoses is the first steps to getting better.
good luck weirdo lol
 
I'd say you're bordering on OCD type behavior. If you find you CAN'T do the above (see something uneven or out of place without moving or changing it to satisfy you, etc.) without a level of anxiety associated with it, then I would definitely seek help. BTW - uneven things bothering you IS counting, and yes it's how your brain works - it's just weird to people who aren't "wired that way". Just don't let those little things take control of your behavior.
 
No it is not weird. You seem to be over dweller , if you understand it.
Hyper sensitive maybe. Overactive brain function in imagination perhaps. If it bothers you , catch yourself every time you dwell on it.
 
if the part involving uneven things, etc causes you to constantly fix them over and over, then that is a problem. Otherwise it is probably just a personality quirk. Lots of people have them.
