For a long time any room I’m familiar with, whether it be at home, work, or a friend/family members house, I always flip up on the light switch or press the on button every time I enter, even if it’s already on. Especially in the bathrooms. Is this a neurotic thing similar to OCD or does everyone do this when they’re not paying attention?
Not a doctor, but that sounds like an OCD-type thing to me. I suspect most people do not feel the need to touch a control if it is already set as they want. Also, this might be in violation of rule 3 as a result.
Consider consulting with a doctor or psychologist or (cheaper) trying to get yourself out of this habit before it diversifies into a family of them (assuming it hasn’t already).
That’s a good point, thank you. I guess I’m not so much looking for a diagnosis just a temperature reading on the need to explore further for what it’s worth.
I’ve developed and gotten over a lot of behavior that could be described that way, but it’s never felt like a harm to myself until I think about the germs on the light switch. Kinda minor still, but this one got more of my attention as a result.
Appreciate the sincere advice
