I think I'm Obsessive Compulsive.

In highschool I was totally into this girl. After over a year (asking her out twice and geting shot down) she fell for me. We dated two years, and broke up at the end of highschool.

I still think of her, even though I have not talked to her. I still dream about her all the time, even though its been three years. I've dated other girls, but only becuase they remind me of her. Am I obsessive compulsive?

 

This definately doesn't make you obsessive compulsive. It happens to a lot of us. The word is "infatuation". You dated for 2 years, so it's no wonder that you think and dream about her a lot. The heart doesn't like to let go, and that's perfectly natural. I wouldn't be surprised if you continued to feel and behave like this for a few more years, or even if it never completely went away. My mom's been married for over 20 years, and she confided in me a few weeks ago that she still thinks about and dreams about a guy she was in love with when she was around 15 years old, and they were never even a couple!

Don't worry about it. And if it bothers you a lot, or is interferring with your life see a therapist, or try to find a plethora of other things to bombard your mind with so you'll have less time and energy to spend thinking about and wanting her.

 

Look up Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. What you described is nowhere near.

Maybe obsessive though.

 

I have a friend who will actually leave the bar were at to move his car a few inches back. Or while were walking he'll suddenly turn round and sprint back a few hundred feet just to walk back again because it didnt feel right.


thats ocd

 

Yeah man, that's intense.
