Someone told me some years ago that all of us, admittedly or not, consciously or unconsciously, have an obsessive compulsive disorder side in each one of us. There might be fairly truth about it. As I have observed, I have this habit of always putting toilet bowl cleaner to the toilet everytime I use the rest room. By using, I mean, even if i just wash hands or wash my face. I don't know for some reasons, something is pulling me to just do it automatically!Or after applying lotion in my body, I will put alcohol in my hands and put lotion again in my hands. This is done everyday, everytime!Anyways, I have also observed one of my twin daughters, that after eating and all utensils were cleaned already, she will arrange all spoons together, forks together, et al. When she finds that something is not placed in order, she will give a sigh and arrange things again properly. This is done everytime!Are there any OCs here like me? Or am i just plain crazy?

I think I have a kind of OC too. I can't stand my room or office being disorganized or littered. I always like to find my things the way I left them. I get very irritated when somebody shifts the position of any item, even by an inch. Even if the house was burning (God forbid!), I would ensure that the items were in their proper positions before making any escape effort:)

Welcome to the OC world! You know my sister is your female counterpart. Thanks for letting me feel that I'm not crazy after all.

I definitely have some signs of OCD. Like I have to sleep on the left side of the bed.

Hi Mark, Thanks for the response. I'm just curious...when you wake up, are you still in the left side? You never sleep at the right side ever?
