Do I have OCD? Or something?
Answer:
it could be ocd. i have it. ill tell you about myself-- see if your like me
i have to have certain things even
i count things
if i read something and i mess up, i have to start over again and repeat until it is perfect. plus, lets say i read the first part of a sentence and said it wrong, i will have to read the rest of the sentence so that i dont read the first word more times than i read the other wrods (like i said things have to be even)
i have obsessive thoughts about unrealistic things.
I guess no, since you don't do your things mentioned above over and over again. OCD requires some strange perfection let's just say like writing this answer with each last letter of each word must be typed by forefinger.
Moreover, OCD people have anger issues, well I don't know if you have it or not.
I guess you could be borderline OCD. Unless any of that gets in the way of a "normal" life I don't think there's anything to worry about. We all have borderline something or other. Whatever "it" is for us, is just part of what we are. It's part of our individual personality. If you like it, keep it. If you don't like it, change it.
Check the sights for their surveys. It seems like you're overcompensating.Are your parents still together?

it just sounds like you are very organised and logical and intelligent. as far as i know, OCD is usually so intense that it really takes over your life and you find it difficult to maintain a balanced life, socially and healthily. If you have real concerns then talk to someone from a mental health suite/clinic, lots of places will offer a friendly chat if you approach them.
My mother, grand-mother, and sister were like that.
It absolutly drove me CRAZY and I sort of rebelled against it. I think being a profectionist is a sort of Obcessive Compulsive Disorder because perfectionists just cant sleep or relax until everything seems perfect.
OCD is a made-up disease used to sell expensive drugs. You care about what other people think very much, and that is perfectly natural for people in certain stages of life. However, you must realize that your purpose on earth is to be happy, not to try to please other people by being a doormat and letting them walk all over you. There is a happy medium where you do the right thing AND make yourself happy precisely because you DO do the right thing. relax and be happy in your high achievement standards and strive to be a good person. Love God first and then yourself, and you will automatically be loved by others.
Id say that you are just a perfectionist. Some people with OCD think that if they dont perform the acts (they are called rituals) than they will have some sort on punishment given to them so they continue to do the rituals out of fear.
A little word of advice from someone who used to be a perfectionist. Sometimes, its good to be organized to the T and have everything orderly, healthy, etc., but life is a whole lot easier if you tone it down a little :)
