Puzzle OCD

[The Puzzler]

I was wondering if anyone else was like this. After you eat pizza or blow your nose or touch something besides your puzzle, do you wash your hands? I do and everone thinks I'm wierd. I just believe I don't want to resticker my puzzle. Any thoughts?

When I saw you had replied to this thread I was hoping it'd be something like this.

Short attention span =/= ADHD and liking cleanliness =/= OCD.

I don't like leaving puzzles on my shelf unsolved, but I don't think that counts as OCD =p

you bet ^_^ lol I can't stand leaving them sitting there
Especially my V7. I don't even love my v7 all that much, it just annoys me to have it staring me in the face.

Haha, I'm the exact same. Sometimes I might have 3+ puzzles unsolved, and I just have to solve them before going out. When I need to go to bed, and I have puzzles unsolved, my parents turn off the light, but I simply need to turn it back on, just to solve those puzzles, or I can't sleep. One time my Mum confiscated a scrambled 3x3, and I couldn't bare it

I had a friend who felt the need to have the edges of all his papers, books, cubes, etc. parallel with the edges of his desk. If you moved anything, he would have to realign it.

Liking to keep your cubes clean is not OCD.

Stackmat? Keyboard? Mouse? I can understand doing it after eating or blowing your nose, because those can be messy things. But after touching anything else is definitely weird. Also getting grease on your cube just means you need to clean it, not resticker it.

My cubes need to be solved, clean, and put on the desk with red on top, white in front. I do not let this change. OCD? No.

OCD is only when it involves some sort of fear or anxiety right?
I turn my head away and fan the air when spraying lube to avoid inhaling the smell of the propellant

That's just common sense

I do lots of strange things like this :/ My rooms not tidy, but it's like, lined up. I can't stand having work with my name on it bad/crumpled. I line up coasters at the dinner table with the edge of my placemat, which is lined up with the edge of the table. I have the plate/bowl in the middle of the placemat. I keep books and papers lined up with either each other and the edge of the table.

This part I'm not sure is OCD, when walking on footpaths and whatever, I don't step on the cracks At shopping malls with patterns, I keep to one part of the pattern (ie: circles)

My theory is everyone is partly OCD, some more than others

okay, good

I always have to have my logo facing red. Once it was so bad I would fix it after ever single solve. But I've tried to stop doing it that often.

I'm like this too..luckily I don't own anything that takes a long time to solve

I always have to have my logo facing red.

Wtf no it has to face orange.

I orient the logo after every average, but at times I would do it after every 2-3 solves.

By the way, this has been bugging me for a while:

Spoiler

Which way would to consider this logo to be facing: the right side or the top? The logo is tilted 45 degrees, but I've always found that it's facing the right side more.

I recently got a cube with a 45 degree angle logo and I always have it facing red ad blue.

I like to clean my hands after touching myself.
