What are your obsessive compulsive tendancies?

I don't have that many... I don't think? The only real thing I could think of is whenever I find something new that I like I get extremely obessed and it's all I can think about... I usually over-do it and do whatever I can to find a way to be around it. OR if I'm messing around with my UI or wallpaper I will spend hours trying to get everything perfect and will never actually be happy.

How about y'all?

When I am watching TV I can only have the volume increased by five (5, 10, 15). I can't have the volume on a number such as 7 or anything else.

Sometimes I think it's nicer when the light switches are all the same (all down, or all up).

When walking on sidewalks, I either have to step on every crack or none and I have to take the same number of steps on each segment. I will shorten or lengthen my stride in order to keep things even. There are a lot of things I do that might be a little obsessive, can't seem to think of them all right now.

I read something once and I found it quite humorous, and true at times: "I have CDO. Its like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, except in alphabetical order like it should be."

I'm a mild OCD. I hate stepping on cracks. I hate any wet dirt (sounds wierd, but want I mean is the floor of the shower or a non perfect swimming pool, thigns like that). I used to bite my nails incessantly but got over that.

It was a lot worse when I was young than it is now.

I used to do the sidewalk thing but I've forced myself to quite that habit. I also used to count either the reflectors or the lines on the road when I drove. I don't recommend it. Almost got in a car accident that way.
