I think I may have OCD or ADD or something, but those are always so over-diagnosed that I can't tell if I'm being a hypochondriac or not. I pick at my cuticles so my fingers are always torn-up looking bloody and painful, and I pick at/bite my fingernails. If I get a zit I will stop at nothing to pop it, and that usually turns into a scab, which I then pick at, which means it stays on my face for about seven times as long. If I have scabs anywhere, I pick at them. I always correct other people's grammar even though mine is poor (for example, it drives me INSANE when people confuse "its" with "it's", "they're" with "their" with "there", "your" with "you're", etc.) I always have that lurking feeling that I've forgotten to do something, and I tend to obsess over things (if I do something wrong at work, I dread being confronted with that by an authority figure, no matter how small the problem is. This usually continues for weeks.) What's wrong with me? I don't want to be put on meds or anything and join the Medicated States of America, but I want to make sure this isn't a precursor to a more serious problem. Also, I am ashamed to go see a shrink because not long ago my dad was telling me how happy he was that my brother and I are the only kids in the family who haven't been to some sort of counseling.
I have a rare, incurable disease. It's really bad too. If I ever read about some disease, I find out that I have it too. That's just from reading about it. You'd be surprised how many diseases I have now. I've been to doctors all over the place. They all say that the most serious thing that I have is hypochondria.
Okay, in all seriousness, it sounds as if you are a normal teenager. You don't need meds for that. I get obsessed with grammar and spelling too, but that's a good thing. I write as a hobby and post my stories on the net. What you should get worried about is when you start doing something so obsessively that you become a danger to yourself. You need to find an outlet, as obsessive drives often come from a feeling of frustration or a lack of control. Otherwise, I'm sorry to say that you're normal, healthy and have very little to worry about.
Truthfully, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you! M just like you, I hate it when people misspell things or don't leave question marks after asking a question. But it's how we deal with things when we are stressed or worried. So nothing to be worried about and no you don't need a shrink. I bite my nails sometimes, I shake my leg when I am nervous giving a presentation in class. So nothing to be crazy about here!
Get some self-help books and see what kind of progress you can make by sorting things out on your own. Recognizing some issues is the first step. I always think, "what's the worst that could happen?" and none of it is real bad anyway.
guys: if you constantly ask a certain girl to do you favors, and you do thank them, but you don't ever ask a different girl, what is your reasoning...

Describe your ideal first date; Where do you go? What do you wear? How does the date end?
I would most likely be in blue jeans with a nice shirt or T-Shirt depending on where we go. Early in the date I would enjoy a quit dinner where we actually could talk and find out if we thought it might work. If things clicked ok, I might suggest that we go for a round of drinks and dance or go have a few drinks and shoot pool. If the weather is right we most likely would have been on my Harley.
Afterwards..what will your date know about you?
One she would have been able to judge if I as the type of guy she'd want to see again. The same goes here. I think I would have opened up enough to let her know my goals.
