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.

Most of the time I do feel like I need to do things perfectly, also I have the need to do everything I can, and this happens mainly in rpg's and their sidequests, I just can't ignore them.

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.

I usually only go out for everything in a game if I truly like it.

In most cases, I'm perfectly happy with simply beating a game, and moving on.
