You have clean and organized or clean and cluttered. Maybe that’s what they meant

Because some people say or think they are clean when they are actually not, hence over emphasizing how clean they are

Me too! I have trichatillomania and dermatillomania, it’s EXHAUSTING. I get so overwhelmed cleaning because it s never what I want it to look like or be like so I give up. I have a very “all or nothing” mindset

to clarify, I think my roomie meant like “type a” clean freak energy. I don’t have that, but I’m gonna clean the kitchen when I’m done, and give everything a dusting/mopping every other week. typical household chores she apparently doesn’t know how to do or had a maid for.

🙋‍♀️ that would be me! I have OCD and it’s so annoying and such a distraction/detriment at times, but I’m not that neat at all. I do prefer it on the neat side but I’m not that motivated to clean up that much. obviously that doesn’t apply for communal spaces, I always make sure to clean those up.

Me too!! I know maybe one person with ocd who’s an actual neat freak? I think some people also confuse it with ocpd, where an obsession with cleanliness is MUCH more likely
