Is it normal that I don't like when I leave off a dot on a paper unerased?

Atom Starfire · June 16th, 2018, 08:20 AM

So whenever I erase something off of paper, for some reason I don't like it when I leave off a dot unerased. I mean, I am fine with the mark that is left off that is very difficult to erase. Is this a sign of OCD?

However, things such as a hole in a wall, something not in a pattern, etc. don't really bother me.

We all have our little things that bother us, I wouldn't worry about it.

No, OCD is a disorder with established criteria, what you experienced is not part of the criteria.

Think of it as a pet peeve.

As above, I wouldn’t call it OCD at all. I’d just say it’s something that bugs you, little quirks that everyone has about different things.

No, OCD is much worse, let me tell you. My aunt has it and she picks up on EVERYTHING, not just the little details. You're totally normal

(and I agree, those little dots are annoying af)
