I have an obsessive-compulsive disorder that causes me to get “stuck” on certain kinds of thoughts. For example, boys didn’t like me when I was in middle/high school, and I remained OCD about that for YEARS after I got out of high school. And that obsession has caused me to have behavioral issues that have prevented me from dating! 😢 And also, I have a big problem with controlling my temper because, unlike most adults who handle their emotions appropriately around others, I can’t, because I get so “obsessed” with whatever I get mad or frustrated about, that I’m unable to stop and think about controlling my emotions like an adult. THIS has also prevented me from dating. 😢 Obviously, both of these issues are a result of the particular form of obsessive-compulsive disorder that I have. So does anybody have any idea about why I haven’t met anyone else with a brain like this?
Why don’t I know anyone else with a brain like this?

I don't know what to tell you. You can sit around cry about it until you're 60 years old or learn to live with it and do something.
You crying over something when you were in middle and now you're a grown ass woman. No I am not going to sugarcoat. You need to man up and get your shit together.
Dude, I’m talking about my OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER!!! Pardon my annoyance, but I wish you understood that THAT is what I am talking about! Not the “boys not liking me as a kid” thing!
I'm the same way. you may have a form of PTSD. I do a out that kind of stuff.
