I have actual clinically diagnosed Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, so yes.
Believe me, it's not just about being a perfectionist, or not liking odd numbers/uneven patterns, or putting your pencils in the order of the rainbow. It's debilitating, soul-crushing, and it takes over your life. There was a time, when I was a teenager, when I could not leave my house.
Funnily enough, I have no issue with the cliche OCD things like the ones I mentioned earlier. It's more an overwhelming urge to perform certain rituals, a fixation on contamination, and anxiety so intense it makes me physically nauseous.

Ah, reading this makes me feel like a jerk. I should clarify that anything I might have had would be closer to a perfectionist tic than an actual disorder. I seem to see people confuse them a lot, or just self-diagnose because they have to save their game file more than once.
Probably makes you roll your eyes...I'm sure XD

It's okay, I don't think you're a jerk.
If anything, my post was itself a bit of a kneejerk response, as obviously its a topic that's personal to me. It wasn't my intent to make people feel bad.
