I work as a server in a retirement home and today I was setting the dining room with one of my coworkers and she was aligning a fork on top of a napkin and said “omg I’m so ocd”. And I got so excited because I thought maybe I actually found someone who has ocd! So I was like “omg you have ocd? I have ocd!” And she got really quiet and just said “oh… no. I’m just a perfectionist”. Like bruh. My ocd won’t let me shit 🥀🥀🥀
I’m actually not a clean freak but also a germophobe at the same time 😭 my anxiety cause “extreme OCD tendencies” so not the full OCD. But enough to were people using it causally is annoying bc they’re not constantly questioning whether they’re a terrible person or can’t drink from a cup without a straw or worry about contamination or think something awful is going to happen because I did plug and unplug the kettle twice because once isn’t enough to be SURE
FR THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TOO😭 one of my friends with OCD purposefully does that to make people realize they gotta stop using OCD interchangeably with being neat. She’ll be like “omg you have OCD TOO?! I have it too, it can be so debilitating dude.” And then usually ppl will be like “Oh.. no. I’m just like a clean freak.” And then she’ll say something like “oh- why didn’t you just say you’re a clean freak then?” 😭😭😭
