After seeing some of these comments, I sometimes feel I should get myself checked for a mental illness. But the symptoms seem so widespread across people, that it seems to be within range of normal human behavior. I have not been crippled by any of these things (though it is immensely distracting). It's almost like I am looking for an easy explanation for genuine personality defects (which includes being easily distracted and procrastination). Which then again, makes me feel miserable for using mental illness as an excuse for ignoring my imperfections. Yes, I do have to step on whole tiles (no cracks or breaks) when walking. But, I don't notice it when I am with people. I have felt an intense itch in my back when then door handle was left at a non-90 degree angle. But, it only happened a few times in 2015. I do need to tap my feet to high tempo jazz/prog music or talk out loud to focus on work,...but, even without them I have scored above 95 percentile on standardized tests. So, maybe what I am seeking is simply out of reach because I've reached my personal intelligence ceiling. I do have the kind of distracting thoughts (what ifs and hypotheticals) that the top comment was talking about...but they are never so distracting enough to make me act on them. ( I do avoid going too close to ledges though...I've only so much trust in myself) Problem is, I know people who call themselves OCD for less. But, I seeing people with genuine OCD makes my problems seem trivial. I think the bitter pill to swallow, is that I am simply an easily distracted procrastinator with little self-discipline. But, It would be so wonderful if I could sometimes send these thoughts away, for the few hours everyday that I really do want to work and make real progress.
