Thread: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Well.. I wouldn't consider having it as a disorder, but as I said in the previous thread: if I start pen spinning, I've gotta do it 40 times without failure. If I fail, then I start again.

This has stopped me from leaving the house once.... until I succeeded. In my head, however, it was my means of quickly learning to pen spin without fail. Failure = punishment = more practice. Though I wouldn't say I consciously choose to do it, I just feel motivated to do it over and over.

It doesn't extend to any other activity atm, but I imagine it would if I started another skill-based activity. Something similar occurred when I was learning the piano in high school.
