are any of you familiar with that? it’s crazy i don’t think my brother has a disorder
but he is so wierd, he sleeps in the living room so every night he checks the lock of the door 11 times. NOT 2 NOT 10 but exactly 11 times and then falls asleep
when my nana was here me n him used to make fun of him but when i took psychology i found out about it and it was pretty interesting
do you guys know anyone who does that or you yourself do something similar??
and please reply seriously, i don’t want to offend anyone in any way. this is indeed a serious thing nothing to laugh about
My new husband washes his hand all the time, whenever he does anything. He also has routines he has to do or he doesn't sleep. He also checks the door over and over, his car doors and windows, too. We will start walking away from the car and then he will go back at least twice and check them again. Sometimes it is frustrating.
If I sleep before he gets home, he will wake me, he says he cannot sleep unless I make him tea before he lays down (he has awoken me up at 3am, even when I have classes the next day). Then it isn't an endearing little habit, it is a pain.
^ Looks like this new one gonna become old pretty soon...just Kidding...
OCD....is pretty common in many people....& these people are perfectionists in many aspects....they are more of a trouble to themselves then to others.
hmm it sounds like OCD, but you might want to be careful Chorni. You don't want to start labelling everyone with a disorder right now. it is something that us pyschology students tend to do. but from what i have learned, OCD is something that can absolutely take over your life. yea, some people have a routine that they have to do. my dad used to be like that, but it's nothing that is super crazy. so you know what, relax. he would probably grow out of.
