Is it OCD IF you're constantly rearanging furniture?

Hi! I’ve OCD (self-diagnosed) and having to do something repeatedly, whether thoughts (obsessions) or actions (compulsions) are indeed symptoms of OCD. But it’s important to take note of the reason why you’re constantly rearranging your furniture. OCD is often characterised by rituals - eg. I’ve to rearrange my chair every morning if not XXX will happen.
I’ve to wash my hands X number of times if not I’ll fall sick. If you’re simply rearranging your furniture (multiple times) to see which arrangement you like best, that’s not OCD.
Cheers.

well, OCD can manifest as a need for order and symmetry - having to constantly rearrange something

But as long as it doesn’t interfere with your daily life, doctors won’t diagnose you

I believe you need to spend x hours a day doing something for them to consider it an obsession/compulsion

Take care of yourself, try to distract yourself when you feel the need to do it. The more you give in to your compulsions, the stronger they get. (Proven with research)

My mom does that and it annoys me everytime she wants to change the furniture around.

I don't know maybe talk to an expert about this like a psychologist or research if it bothers you.
