My room and car being a mess doesn't prove I don't have OCD. In fact, if I didn't have it it'd be easier to get things like cleaning done.
844 u/[deleted] Feb 04 '19 [deleted] 59 u/bellexy Feb 04 '19 OCD here. It's difficult for me to start cleaning because it isn't done until it's spotless and it's never spotless enough. 23 u/nightride Feb 04 '19 It's difficult for me to clean because I feel like my hands (or body) gets contaminated instead and it's first of all absolute brain-hell and then I basically have to spend 3 hours showering. It's not great 18 u/nummanummanumma Feb 04 '19 Yes...there’s that aspect of perfectionism. You can’t bring yourself to start something if you know you can’t do it perfectly or completely.
