[marty]

is anybody else here pencil OCD? like, i must have a sharp pencil at all times, if it is dull at all, i must sharpen it! and same with eraser, oh god i wont let ANYBODY borrow my eraser because i use it sparingly and it seems like everyobdy else grinds it into the paper.

im only OCD with pencils, so its kinda weird.

[Everglow]

yes. i always need a sharpened pencil...i don't have anaddiction to erasers though..

I almost always have to have a sharp pencil and an eraser without any lead marks on it, if it does, then i'd rub it on a desk until the lead marks go away. Otherwise I wouldn't use the eraser.

[I'm cool like spongebob]

I don't let other people use my eraser because it needs 2 b used in a certain order right 2 left other people muck it up.

I'm not a pencil OCD, but I am with pens. XD I ALWAYS have at least 4 pens in my blazer pocket at school, and I never really write with any of them, I just spin (pen-spinning, awesome hobby ^^) them and/or chew on them. :S I'm SO bad for chewing on pens, and for some reason I find it relaxing almost. XD

I never let people use my erasers because they tear them apart and that doesn't fly well with me. They also draw little dots on them too. It makes me really mad. It almost seems stupid to get mad over but I do. I get infuriated.

This isn't OCD, its just a tendency towards it.

Listen, sharp pencils are a good thing, they work better. And when people borrow erasers (or anything, for that matter), they never come back the same way. You're not OCD, just particular about your things.

OCD is a debilitating illness characterized by crippling, irrational thoughts (Obsessions) and/or behaviors (Compulsions). The key is irrationality, as in psychotic. I'm not hearing anything in this thread that';s the least bit psychotic. Or irrational. Don't confuse being fussy or particular about things with a psychiatric disorder!
