Does anyone else here have Symmetry ocd? Mine is really bad today, it’s annoying me.

Yes!! I’ve spent the whole day making sure I look at everything so that an equal amount of light comes into both my eyes (this is the hardest thing to explain!) For example, if I looked at something bright from my left side, I have to turn around and look at it with my right side and keep turning until it feels like I’ve reached an equilibrium. I also have to straighten anything that seems out of line in public (so that’s particularly humiliating.) I completely understand the need for symmetry Ellaaaax, so frustrating! d a i s y

Omg this is same as me, I have to look in like form of 4 at everything, it’s annoying because i look bloody mental doing it lmao but oh well. I do it with touching things too, like if I touch something with one hand, I’ll also touch it will the other too. It’s so weird lmao

Ohhh same!! I look like a complete weirdo! At least we can see the funny side of it I guess and have a little giggle at ourselves every now and then hehe. I also have to do it a “special” number of times - so bad! I hate to hear you’re going through this, but it’s so nice to be able to confide in someone who understands exactly what it’s like. d a i s y

Yeah that’s very true!! It can be ridiculously funny at times lmao And yep mine is 8, it’s cuz it’s even and I hate odd number and It’s okay, I’m okay, and you too, I’m sorry and yeah that’s always a good thing :)

Omg both of you just made my day, even though maybe it's weird to say it since we're all suffering here!! :/ I have to have the same amount of AIR in both my eyes even, and light too. So I have to open them the same amount the same amount of times! I have to do everything an even amount of times (usually 4) but because this is sacred, and I hate waking up, I have to set my alarm to an odd number time so that an even number doesn't become tainted. At least I am laughing typing this out!!! Maybe by being able to laugh at the absurdity of it all will help us

I can totally relate Tay! Know you’re not alone because I definitely know exactly how you feel. Especially the eye thing, I’ve never met someone who understands it like you! So annoying but definitely kinda funny when you think about it. We always have each other! d a i s y

Yeah, we are all the same here ?
