General - Do you have OCD? - View Post

Actually, Rath is correct, nobody in here actually has OCD.

Strange habits are not OCD. They're just strange habits.

Like me, if I touch something with one hand, I often feel the need to touch it with the other, for an equal amount of time (usually if it's an object I don't use regularly). I don't know why, but it's not OCD, it's just a strange habit.

OCD is caused by disturbing or bothersome thoughts that can't be suppressed or pushed aside except by focusing on a task. It's COMPLETELY different than random compulsions that we all (or most of us) have. That's just part of being human, really. We all have our quirks, but it's certainly not OCD in any form.
