This thread is pretty damn simple...

Exactly what the title reads, 'Real life small obsessions' basically this thread is to explain what you have small obsessions with in real life.

I'll start us off eh?

Both socks have to be the exact same height otherwise it really really annoys me...

I find this thread a bit mean, as OCD is a REAL mental condition that people suffer from. It's a condition that the bearer has this constant thought, repeating itself over and over again. Here's an example of someone who suffers from OCD:

I understand it is one. but it's no making fun of it at all, I just want to see what people think and their stories...

An unfortunately common mistake people often make is diagnosing something as obsessive compulsive disorder when it's actually just an obsessive tendency. Most of us have little obsessive tendencies. For instance, I don't like having food or the smell of food on my hands, which is why I wash them after every meal. If I don't wash my hands.....life goes on. If I were actually afflicted with an obsessive compulsive disorder, not washing my hands would likely result in a tantrum/mental breakdown. I've actually got a family member with just a mild form of the real disorder. It doesn't take much time around someone who actually has to live with this to realize how many people over-exaggerate their obsessive tendencies.

I understand that this thread really wasn't made to misinform, so I'm sorry to go off topic as I have done. It's just a little frustrating how OCD has become a general term for obsession.
