So with my OCD I have a screenshot compulsion.
When I open my phone, or even just light my screen, it’ll illuminate and I’ll see the time on the clock, the battery percentage if I have that setting turned on, the date, any other visual information that I can take in, given the right circumstances (which is most of the time) there presents the need to screenshot my screensaver, there’s thousands upon thousands of these duplicate images in my gallery/camera roll, it had gotten so consistently good at interrupting things for me, think phone calls or if I’m trying to play games with friends it just draws my attention, it’ll even end the call if I do it too fast because it’ll bring up the emergency function that has that white and red panic button, I have to screenshot my screen 16 times, at first it was for both hands so it was equal on both my hands, but with my birthday coming around my mom had gotten me a new phone (woo hoo it’s cool!) but the buttons are parallel so they have a spot one either side for my thumbs to rest and screenshot both hands at the same time, the most detrimental part is the lack of storage that I have at any given time on my devices, I’ll load my phone so fast with these screen shots that it’ll black out with a little loading wheel that has it taking 15 or so seconds to catch up to me, it’s just really odd lol, if I recall I think I picked this up from a danger Dolan video from years back if you can believe that, it was something like “Dolans brother has this silly little thing where he screenshots the number 10:10” or something like that and I guess I just kept it to heart and it slowly but surely got more and more frequent in my daily activities. Just thought I’d share, thank you for your time, please tell me if you can relate or have any similar experiences. Here’s a pic of my camera roll down below :)
