When I'm on the computer I reload all of my bookmarks every few minutes, sometimes every few seconds, even when I know it's impossible for there to be any updates.
 
Sometimes I spend 5 minutes looking for the remote just to realize that it was on my hand.
Besides that... nope

off-topic: how many of you will look around the entire house for the remote, instead of just changing the TV channel?

When you're hooked up to cable, most cable boxes (from comcast) don't have buttons. You NEED the remote.
 
How many people are smart enough to just leave their remotes on a coffee table?
 
I do not have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Please stop calling it OCD because abbreviations bother me.
:p
I have some OCD type stuff but none confirmed. I can't stand certain closing only closing one at eye at a time because it feels like I'm not balanced. lol but it's true.
 
Yes it is and let me make an announcement, this thread with the help of mini goings has helped me to decide, Im not going to hide, hello world I'm a sociopat and You can ban me or flame me or send messages because I don't care being a sociopath, I dont think that I should hide what I am
 
When I grew up I began to do different things, like, as we were driving around in the car or I was on a bus or something, every time we passed another car I would lift my toes or my fingers up as it passed, nothing significant. I also used to do everything in sets of 6's.
As time progressed, it became more than cars, anything metal. Some days it would be stuff that was wooden, trees, telephone masts, things like that.
I still do it sub-consciously a lot of the time and then I realize what I'm doing. I still do things in sets but I've got it down to 4's. When I'm walking along the pavement I will step on 3 of the same paving slabs as I am walking along, if I miss a step, I go back and step on it again. When I'm not walking on pavement, maybe a grass field or something, if I feel that I have put more of a side of my foot on the ground I will have to compensate for this and on the next step, I try to even it out by putting more weight on the other side of my foot. This often makes me feel annoyed and wound up and I can sometimes become aggressive as I never feel that I walked properly or stepped correctly.
I also sub-consciously tense my back and feet without realizing and then I realize and have to relax. This repeats, I realize and relax.
My OCD has become worst over time in some aspects. I used to have a thing about physical contact and I still get very paranoid about people I don't know touching me in anyway, be it, them bumping into me or something without any intent to them trying to hug me and stuff. This made me very anti-social. I'd stay in my room all day.

I find this quite interesting, I have had some of the same tendencies in the past. I remember I always used to have to balance something out. For example, if I did a small cough followed by a bigger cough, I would have to do a big cough and then a small cough again, to kind of "bring it back to zero" in a way. The same principle applied to many things. I always just thought of it as a bad habit rather than OCD, and I have grown out of it.
I'm also the same with the touching thing. I can't stand being touched at any time. Often people will put out there hand to your back if you're about to walk into them, and I hate it. I don't blame them if I was about to hit them, but I can't help but hate the feeling of being touched.
