What are some tendencies of obsessive compulsive's?
Question:
Answers:
OCD, as mentioned in above answers, involves obsessive thoughts or complusive behaviors or both- like the compusive NEED to flick the light switch on and off 17 times before leaving a room or the unyeilding image of a loved one dying in a car crash. Failure to perform the compulsive behavior or think the obsessive thought results in extreme anxiety.
Being overly neat or tidy is often referred to as being obsessive- complusive but this is simply an example of psychological jargon being mistakenly used in everyday language (like the word psychotic). However, Obsessive-Complusive Personality Disorder, which is a much different disorder than OCD, may possibly account for the need to be excessively neat and tidy as well as other behaviors.

being to aggressive at order of things .. could be a simple as always checking to make sure you turned off everything in the house before you leave like 4 or 5 times .or obsessive as putting everything in abc order i mean everything. DOING REPETIVE TASKS. TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER.. CHECKING AND RECHECKING THINGS.
HOPE IT HELPS..
That is a tough question as the answer can be almost anything. The pattern starts with a person obsessive thought about a certain matter. This can be anything from germs, forgetting something, worry of a loved one, ect. The obsession creates anxiety and a loss of control. In trying to reduce the anxiety, they create habits called compulsions.
I guess the tendency of an obsessive compulsive would be whatever helps ease the anxiety. It is usually an action that is repeated over and over again, even if they know the habits/ritual make no sense. being a clean freak, obsessing or going nutty over a particular small thing, like a guys wife not shutting the cap to the toothpaste, my bf does this by the way, very annoying. that would be Borderline obsessive compulsive though, full blown would be down on the floor scrubbing the entire kitchen floor with a toothbrush
