My OCD is better that yours

(You, who arranged the selves, I love you!)

Well, I think that many people suffer for some kind of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). What I’m really obsessed with, is labels and symmetry. Again, my OCD lies in the organisation field…

All labels should be facing forward. And by all, I mean all. In my house there is no way that the candles or spices are not “looking ahead”. What really irritates me is when people come over and change the order of my stuff. I feel the urge to fix them right away. Well, my house, my rules. But what happens outside my house?

The same. I like to see everything neatly arranged. This is an eye candy for me. I have caught myself arranging stuff in a friend’s house, in my parents’ house or even at the super market. I don’t think much of it I just do it compulsively.

I didn’t know I was that obsessed-I thought I was just neat-till 4 years ago. We have gone climbing and afterwards we went for some beers with my co-climbers. A friend of mine noticed that my cider was at the exact same place with the label always looking at me the whole time. So without saying anything he just moved it slightly as well as the coaster. I looked at him annoyed and put it back to the way it was. “You are such a neat creep!” he said and then I realised that he was right and maybe I was more than that, as this was a matter of OCD. I have never thought of that before and I enjoy being that way to be honest.

It is said that when your OCDs are time consuming, stand as an obstacle to your daily life and make you dysfunctional, there is a problem. But mine doesn’t bother me at all. I won’t have a panic attack if my stuff are not in their right place. I just appreciate symmetry more than most people.

Ok... Maybe it's not that normal sometimes since a picture like this, can really drive me crazy.

Whereas this, is pure satisfaction.
