This is the OCD thread! Spergs and autists usually get all the attention these days, but seriously, what happened to all the crazy level OCDers? How come they're being ignored (or falsely labeled as autists)? What happened to Ulilllilililililililililililaaaa.... what the fuck is his name? https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Ulillillia Now, who ~else~ can I add to the semi-recently revamped OCD page: https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Obsessive-compulsive_disorder Also, you get bonus points if you edit Ulillillia's page to have semi-hidden references to the number "22" continually littered about it (you might not notice, but trust me, he will). Seriously, even semi-controlled OCD like mine is usually pretty gawd damn hilarious (although also quite beneficial in some regards). OCD is like bastardized genius, it's like having GOD LEVEL intelligence but it's often locked into the most numbfuck, routine level, circularly pointless endeavors. Or it's so ragingly tied to your creative centers that your brain won't ever shut the fuck off with new ideas (writers flood) making it near impossible to ever actually finish anything because you can't stop getting new ideas. And we need an OCD banner! Like that, but OCD related...preferably with variable letter spacing and slightly misaligned text to drive the overly OCD up the fucking walls with uncontrollable SPAZ RAGE! Seriously, you have no fucking idea how annoying shit like that is. Even to someone like me who only has minor OCD I freakin ~cringe~ over shit like that. EVERYTHING MUST BE ALIGNED EXACTLY PERFECT!
Mine's been raging for about twenty years now...pretty sure it's not a "phase"... Upside is countless HORDES of awesome images I've been meticulously collecting for the past couple decades, all uber organized, filed, sorted and managed with OCD level PERFECTION!
Mmmm, at present, I've integrated somewhere in the range of FOUR THOUSAND images into ED's reformation/reconstruction...now, only two million, nine hundred and ten thousand more to go! Heh...well, probably not, but I would at least like to try and merge a good four or five percent into it...although my Data Archive is continually and constantly growing, so it's hard to say really. The scary thing is I actually have pretty stringent fucking standards as far as what I put into the Data Archive and yet it's ~still~ toppling over THREE MILLION files at this point. It covers...well, everything. Literally...EVERYTHING. Every topic, every area of study, every community, every interest, every hobby, every sexual interest, ANYTHING you can possibly think of (and quite a lot you probably can't) is contained within it. It is the "magnum opus" of my OCD, one of my "life's works" if you will. ^__^
Well it depends upon what definition/criteria you're using. For example apparently hoarding is no longer considered apart of OCD under the DSM-V: http://www.compulsive-hoarding.org/DSM-V.html
Mmmm, I need help with that by the by... https://encyclopediadramatica.es/User:Onideus/Hoarding Has no texties! Needs moar images too!
More like this actually: I think that's probably the major difference between straight hoarders and OCD related hoarding, with the later there's generally tons of mostly ultimately useless junk, but it's all ~very~ organized mostly ultimately useless junk. Computer file hoarding is one of the better forms to have I think...mostly in that it won't literally bury you out of house and home. Stamp collecting...that's another good one...tiny, small, flat...doesn't take much space. *nods*
There's also your germaphobe OCD types...the kind that have to wash their hands constantly (I'm guilty of that one), who can't use restaurant silverware, who can't touch door handles, etc, etc. I got off real easy in that regard. I obsessively wash my hands like twenty or thirty times a day, but that's about it.
Mmmm, I do collect some "plastic crap" though, mostly Legos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/55557770@N02/ ...I ~do~ actually build stuff with them though, I don't just collect simply to collect.
I don't go ~too~ crazy with it though. This is about as expensive as it gets for my collection: Most of those cost around $10 to $20 bucks. I ~might~ get around to spending $50 for a blue bicycle...although they do have these new "azure" colored ones that go for only around $5. Part of living with OCD is trying to keep it in check so you don't go uber crazy/nutzoid with it...like JDR for example...idiot tranny made a MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS selling a gawd damn domain name during the height of the .com boom/bust and what the fuck does she do with AAAALL that money? Buys plastic crap. *epic face palm* ==EDIT== To put things in perspective, I've seen people dump over a THOUSAND FUCKING DOLLARS on "original Bioncle head mask molds" and shit like that. *epic face palm* Some people just go...crazy fucking stupid with it.
Most of the "crazy level collectors" would actually probably laugh at my shit though. For example: ...see if they have "air bubbles" in them then they're considered "imperfect" by the ~serious~ collectors. A lot of the stuff I collect isn't in any actual set: Lego is actually EXTREMELY smart about their products, in that they purposefully make non-standard color productions of certain parts/pieces and then they sell them online for HUUUUGE fucking sums of money. Each one of those cost five bucks a pop! That blue phone piece is worth twenty five dollars and the visors are around three to four bucks each. They also have what are called "test strikes" that are produced when they're testing the machines, usually in the "cheaper colors" like red (I don't know why red is cheaper) that they let the employees keep, who then turn around and sell them online as well for uber high prices.
