i agree but i also do find my compulsions a little funny sometimes as long as their not interrupting my day too much some people think the rituals are cute like if i bump into my best friends arm with one hand so i try to sneakily do it with the other it stops becoming something i can see positively though when assholes purposely prevent me from doing rituals or purposely do something ive asked them not to i definitely hated ocd as a kid even tho i didnt know i had it because so many kids would purposely disrespect my space when i opened up new markers or pokemon cards for example i like to always keep them in the same order they were packaged in but some asshole friends would see me do that kind of stuff and then purposely throw them on the floor or mess up the order when borrowing them because i told them how i wanted to them to be careful with the order luckily no one in adulthood is as much of an asshole and even if they do try to stop my rituals they recognise they are the source of genuine distress for me and try to do it in a more kind caring way like please stop for your own good you need to not care so much about insert ocd obsession which is something i appreciate and its nice to know theres a reason behind the way i do things people always used to think i was really weird but now if anyone questions me i can just say its actually because of my ocd formally diagnosed  i fucking despise my pure o tho always have always will all it does is make me think sick thoughts of people around me and shows me graphic images of myself dying anytime im near a road or railway  and my perfectionism has completely destroyed my mental health i care so much about the smallest things and it gives me so much unnecessary stress and self hatred
