Is this OCD? I’m not sure
As an adult i’ve always made sure that the people i’m around are also adults, especially in regard to dating and relationships. (as i should, there is nothing wrong with this) Very recently i had an epiphany; there are tons of calendars in use around the world, and there are multiple ways of calculating ages across cultures. This has led me to freak out Should I just assume that everyone uses the same calendar and age calculation system as me? that seems irresponsible, because there is possibility of that not being the case. If i meet someone online and he says he’s “20” then what does that mean? Do i assume he’s referring to the age standard I use? Or do i have to do intense research regarding all of the age calculation systems and calendars across the world? This has been causing me a lot of distress and would really like some advice.
