Do you have OCD, take this test?

[AviatorTom]

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by:
Obsessions: Recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas, urges, or images that cause significant anxiety.

Compulsions: Repetitive behaviors or mental acts that individuals feel driven to perform in response to their obsessions, often to reduce anxiety.

People with OCD may recognize that their thoughts and behaviors are irrational, yet they struggle to control them.

It is classified as an anxiety disorder and can significantly impact daily functioning.

Here's a quick and informal test to see if you may have OCD...

You walk into a room and see a painting hanging, quite crooked, on the wall.

What do you do?

Please vote in the poll.

You IGNORE it - you do not have OCD

You think the painting should be straightened, but do NOTHING - you have OCD tendencies and like things neat and organized but that's not OCD

You STRAIGHTEN the picture - you most likely have OCD

I would realize that the photo is crooked and the placing of the frame is deliberate.

I do have a certain level of OCD, not that I think it is a mental disorder.

I don't have anxiety or obsessive thoughts. I don't do anything repetitively.

But, yeah, I top off my gas tank to round $ amounts.
I like a neat, tidy desk and always put things in a certain spot, facing a certain direction because it makes it easy to reach for them when needed. I do the same thing on my bathroom counter, my night table and in the drawers and cupboards.
If a rug or something on my wall is crooked, I straighten it.
When I use things, I put them back where they belong.
I have habits like always twisting the twist tie clockwise when resealing a bag of bread because then I automatically know which way to untwist it without looking.
Having habits makes my life easier, saves me time, and I don't misplace things.

My wife drives me nuts because she doesn't put things back where they belong. She leaves kitchen knives on the counter right in front of the knife block. If she uses my nail clippers or scissors, she doesn't put them back in my drawer and they are not there when I need them.
She's just not in the moment. Her mind is moving on to something else before she finishes what she is doing.

As for the picture frame in your photos I think it’s fine & thank you for giving me a great idea. In my hallway I’m going to offset one picture frame to test anyone who visits.

I was in a department store years back & the tag on the back of my shirt was sticking out. I didn’t notice however a lady did. She came up to me & said the tag was sticking out & it’s driving her nuts so I left her fix it & tuck in the tag.

My instincts would be the owner has done that deliberately to provoke a reaction. So I'd just smile and say I bet that drives people nuts.

The people who really suffer are those in the building trade. They can put up the straightest shelf or build a perfectly level wall and people will argue their heads off it's wonky and refuse to pay.

My disorder excludes OCD. I didn't even notice anything on that picture, because nothing is alive on this picture.
Most people with OCD have other quirks like closing a door 20 times before they leave door knob

If it's not my house, I'd be like "Why's it like that?" But I wouldn't do anything. If it were my own place, that picture would never be bought in the first place, or in the impossible scenario of me being stupid enough to buy it, I'd toss it in the trash. The issue isn't just aligning the frame. The picture itself is not straight and if the frame was corrected, the picture would be angled diagonally. That would bother the hell out of me.

If its that crooked i'd assume that's intentional. I mean c'mon. But if its a little off and its my own home i'd fix it. If its not my home it depends on how close I am with that person, if I am close with them and know they'd apprechiate me pointing it out I would, otherwise there's no point in bringing it up.

[sawno]

I just saw the pic is still straight, so my hunch of it being intentional was correct.

[Nikki1989]

Yes, I probably do have it.

[NathanDavis]

I would... take the frame, take out the picture/painting, cut it out, align it... paint or edit if necessary, re-frame it... adjust it

[DryGermanGuy]

Never touch the picture! 😵‍💫

[ManOnFire]

Upon first seeing it I would think it needs to be straightened but then you see inside the photo that it's an illusion, so I would be like "Ahh I see what you did there."

[WonderingManII]

It depends on if it is my picture or not. If it is my picture: You STRAIGHTEN the picture - you most likely have OCD. If it is my mother's I don't touch it!

[RandomGirl42]

Omg, that picture would so be going straight into my wood stove!

[katiesmuff]

I'd ignore it thinking possibly it was put that way on purpose

[loveslongnails]

Hmmm... depending where I am, I'd likely straighten it out, but I'm definitely not OCD. One walk through my house and you'd agree with that!

[Xawyx-2]

I don't have it, but I know some people who do.

[douride2]

No need to take the test I have OCD.

[NoDecision]

I'd burn it and not let it bother me.

[MemeSupreme]

yeah, im diagnosed and this is stupid lol

[queenofcardio]

I dont think so

[AgentG111]

Oh? 😳
