I was watching a how on OCD and noticed one of the girls on it had a little in common with myself. I was just curious, are these examples of OCD? Say there is something I REALLY want to do, like travel, or I REALLY like the colour purple or the number 16 or am REALLY into a sport, as soon as I come across someone else who likes or wants to do the same things as me, I immediately don't want to do them or even like them anymore, and sometimes feel angry at the other person (although I want say anything of course, I sense the feelings of anger towards them) As if it was MY special thing... and I begin searching for a new hobby or interest all together, find one, go along with it, until I come across the next person who is similar. I realize this could mess up my life, because I may never be happy with what makes me happy, trying to be unique I may end up doing nothing and have no interests. Is this obessive compulsive behaviour? It's not very bad, but I am scared it may get worst instead of better. I also am VERY annoyed when I see people speaking gently, or touching objects gently, this REALLY bothers me and is the same thing that the girl on TV was suffering from, I related to her exactly and knew exactly how it could bother her. I always thought OCD was just washing your hands over and over or doing something else over and over... but are the things I've described possibly symptoms of OCD? Also when I was little I remember always visulizing a car going in a circle, and it would get stuck and keep going even when I wanted to stop thinking about it and picturing it, correcting it I had to make it go as many times around in the opposite direction... this stopped thank god but I remember it being very annoying and happening to me often when I was younger.
