I feel as if it’s too much stress Democrat or republican- Democrat Good at art- I’m pretty decent, yes Best trait- Idk. People usually like my spontaneity, I suppose
Age- 29 Age of onset- ~6-7 (as early as I can remember) Sex- female Sign- Cancer Best subject- science Worst- math Introvert or extrovert- very similar to you. Thought I was an extrovert all my life but I get really drained by people and the more I get to know myself, the more I see I'm introverted.

Age- 23 Age OCD started- definitely by age of 11/12 if not before Sex- female Star sign- Aquarius Best subject- English, I’m very OCD about spelling and grammar!!

Do you like being the leader: sometimes, if it means I get to plan/organise something! Good at art- adult paint by number skills are great Best trait- caring and patience, great for a special needs teaching assistant!
Age: 25 Age OCD started: likely age 8 Sex: Female Star Sign: I am not a fan of these things. Favorite subject: Math. I have always liked math, one, because it makes sense to me and I have a knack for it, but two, I feel a great amount of certainty in math, and that gives me comfort. Least favorite subjects: Typically the ones with the most ambiguity. Introvert. But I love people. I consider myself to be a “gregarious” introvert. Small groups. But I can speak comfortably in front of a crowd. By God’s grace I am quite slow to anger. I prefer to follow. But I will lead when necessary. Conservative. I don’t think having OCD says anything about what our values are, though many of us likely share certain personality traits. My guess is: the majority of us are introverted, analyzers, risk-aversive and reward-seeking, highly conscientious. I am extremely caring, very, very compassionate and empathetic. It is the core of who I am.
questions for everyone ?: how would you rate your self-esteem? we’re you ever bullied in school? do you consider yourself open-minded? do you feel the emotions of others? would you consider your moral standards to be high? just curious some things. sending my good energy to everyone ?
... but I would like to find people on here around my age (I'm 38), who would be interested in proper chats and conversations outside of here (the app is great, but as there is no option to properly chat, but only blog, it's not completely satisfying my need for conversation with other OCD sufferers). I know younger people suffer from OCD, too, but certain things and views are just different, when someone is 20 years younger than me (no offence). Of course, we'd need to find out, if we get along and, if not, it should be fine to stop engaging without any hard feelings.
I would love to know for all my SO-OCD/HOCD sufferers -how old are you? -when did this start for you/how long has it been going on? -What triggered it? -How many OCD themes have you had? -Is this one the worst one? -Whats one thing you wish more people understood about HOCD/SO-OCD? -Are you currently in a relationship? -Whats the worst symptom? -Whats your most scary thoughts? -How real does it feel to you?
