i have the same thing... it used to be really bad but now it's mostly under control and people don't even notice it until they've known me for a while now... the only difference is instead of squinting my eyes i just blink a lot...
yeah same here. I used to blink my eyes a lot, but I guess that wasn't annoying enough so now I have to squint them really hard.
i swear at people when i sleep...more so when i'm sleeping in the same room or general area as others, like camping.
if i pick under one nail to clean it, i have to do it to all of them... when i was yougner i used to always imagine the car jumping over the lines in the road (horizontal lines, repaired cracks in the highway mostly) or over shadows. my feet used to feel imbalanced if i stepped ona dark tile with one foot and not the other. those have mostly faded though lately i have been oddlyparanoid about someone watching me in my home, but i think thats mostly cuz i was having peeping tom problems around a year ago (at another hosue)
my feet used to feel imbalanced if i stepped over every crack in the sidewalk with the same foot; i would have to adjust my steps to allow the other foot to cross a few cracks... i haven't thought about that in years, but now i'll probably start again...
I have to unplug things. I HAVE to. The only things that remain plugged into any electrical socket at all times happens to be my fridge/freezer. Edit to add: Pickles I can NOT have any in sight. Pickles anger me. It's a tick.
I always think that I have left an iron on, or a lit cigarette somewhere after I leave my place. Sometimes I even go back to make sure
I have to know where my cat is at all times. I can't leave the house unless I have found her and know she's safe. I check door locks before bed, but I think that's pretty normal in the city.
I got in the habit of checking door locks after living in the darker part of town for a while... Still lock my doors here in the middle of nowhere for some reason. I'm not sure why... I'd be too surprised to react if someone actually wonders down this dirt road, all the damn way to my little house.
I did the cigarette thing back when I smoked. I'd lock up the house and get in the car even and have to go back and check that my cigarette was out. I think about it sometimes now that I quit. I'll be leaving the house in the morning and think how nice it is to not have to worry about a lit cigarette. Now, I sometimes worry that I left the garage door open when I left. I've gone a few blocks and had to turn around and check it. Now I have a habit, when I reach a certain point on my street, I look back in the mirror to make sure the garage door is down.
not really, nothing that is ocd enough for me to have stick out in my mind. Im very laissez faire about most things....
i always have to make sure every door is locked, but itsk not a tick, just stoner paranoia. I have to cook a meal from beginning to end and I feel claustrophobic i someone is in the kitchen with me and it seems like theyre alway in my way. I obsess over my puppies being left out when Im not home.. if I leave her/ them outside, i have to look back until I cant see them anymore and sometimes go back to make sure they didnt get out. I password lock everything.
I used to HATE for my food to be touching. And I'm completely the opposite of you and Jerry, Lode, cuz I have to eat a little bit of each side dish at a time, but I have to finish my main course first. I've always been a bigger fan of the corn and smashed tatos than the meat, lol. I like saving the good stuff for last.
I do the exact same thing! Sometimes I just wander around and do that, purposely changing my course trying to figure out ways to get to certain squares.
I've been having obsessive fears that I am going to sleep walk and accidentaly cut off Andy's penis. To this he responded he was going to cut my head off with a shovel. This made the obsessive thought worse and I couldn't get/stay asleep last night for fear I would sleep walk and cut off his penis.
when it's dark in my house and i wake up, i have to sprint to the nearest light swith and flip it on, before I'll even consider leaving that room or going any further. After that, as long as one light is on somewhere in the house, I assume the entire thing must be safe and will walk along just fine in the dark. I'm a freak.
