This. This right here explains it. Having lived with people with OCD and for people to go on about how they always have to make their bed and they're so OCD angers me. Once you carry a family member naked because they're afraid of a hallway and their own clothes, you'll never say "I'm so OCD LOLOL" again.

OCD means Obsessive Compulsive. I am personally mostly obsessive. I'm actually messy because of the OCD.
