I just thought of some more:

1) I can't stand when the TV volume is at an odd number not including numbers ending in 5. So I can't stand 1,3,7,9 etc but I am fine with 5,15,25 etc.
2) When I'm watching a video or movie and the cursor is in the middle, it's all I can stare at so I have to move it to the side every time.

That's how I am with numbers. 5 is OK for some reason... maybe it's that 5 is in between numbers? It's like a halfway point. (Almost like an even number.)

Something I can't stand is odd numbers. Whenever I listen to something I always have to count how many times I put the volume up just to make sure it doesn't land on an odd number. If it does I either have to turn it down or turn it up. It's really annoying. (That's just one example.)

I had that; I successfully trained myself out of it by forcing myself to put the volume and such on odd numbers.

I swear... I don't think I'll ever get out of this OCD-ish thing. 

I have OCD (clinically diagnosed, not just as a figure of speech) and while I doubt it can be completely eliminated, it absolutely can be managed and controlled to the point where it doesn't interfere with your life. 6 years ago mine was so bad I couldn't leave my house. I never thought I'd be able to again. Now I do so easily. If you work towards fighting the negative impulses in gradual steps, they can be overcome. :)

Well, it's not that bad, but it can get to a point.

I'm glad you overcame it!

I see people have tapping as quirks. Let me tell you, people who tap on things, glass, tables, etc, drive me up the wall. I hate that so much.

I also have the problem with looking people in the eyes, its like when i do im reading their thoughts and it messes with me (Not saying i am reading their thoughts but to me it feels like i am lulz xD).
I also have to sleep with my socks on as my feet always end up outside of the bed xD.
I also walk in circles while thinking or just walk up and down while talking.
I also Talk to myself sometimes, like not out loud but in my head xD.

I can not stand that! It makes my feet way too hot over the night resulting in me not getting any sleep.

I sleep in the nude. If it's too cold for that, jammie pants with no underwear. I will never find a comfortable position if I try to sleep with a shirt or underwear.

Thanks. :)

My point was, if these things bother you, in my experience they can be dealt with.

- When buying canned food, I will switch can if the one I picked is dented although I know the food inside the dented can is just as good.
- I chew on my pens

Haha, the first time I read this, my brain added an 'i' in the last word on the last line. At first I was like, wtf?, then I was like, I must have misread it, then I re-read it and realized you said 'pens' and that I need to go to bed.
