Does this specific affliction affect you?

[Dr. MB]

Was reading through old posts and found this

i have mild OCD, which might lead to this. Basically, when i'm walking, my feet both have to land on the same surface-IE, if one foot lands on the gutter, the other one has to land on a gutter at some stage. If the heel of my left foot lands on a crack, and whilst I'm putting the other foot on a crack it's the toe that klands on it, then my left foot has to have it's toe land on a crack and my right foot still needs to have it's heel tocuh.

It's not a big issue, because I can always take shorter or longer steps if I have to, and they don't need to be straight after eachother, but if I don't do it after about 20 metes I start to feel uncomfortable.

Weird because I’ve suffered from the exact same thing for as long as I can remember. It’s like there has to be balance in everything. If I don’t complete the same actions on both sides my life is off and something bad is bound to happen.

I haven't had this (I think).

[Mr. Reactionary]

A Department Director I work with wont step on dark floor tile because he claims it feels different.

[Continential]

Sometimes and sometimes not. It happens at the most random of times.

Yes haha

I remember my elementary school having brown and white tiles on the hallway floors, and I always made sure to step on the brown ones. I definitely had this affliction as a child, but I grew out of it as I aged.

No, but I probably did as as a kid (as well as "toe walking" which is common in autistic children). Thankfully I grew out of both.

[HillGoose]

no i'm too stupid to notice stuff like that

[Meclazine for Israel]

Not really, but these things are not uncommon.

Yeah I did that sort of stuff too. Do you see patterns or geometric shapes in things?

It was like I was reading a description of my own behavior. Adding to this I always have to start out first on the left foot when walking outside, and feel like my day is thrown off if I don't.

I did, and I still do, even when the shape in question is very unremarkable.

I was gonna say no, but thinking about it I remember deliberately not stepping on the cracks between floor tiles while walking to the restroom from my history class earlier today

[dead0man]

I do things like that too, but I don't feel the lack of completion if I miss something.

literally wot m8 lmao

[Mr. Smith]

Nah, too lazy to do that.

[beesley]

Maybe a few times in the past, but no on the whole.

I am the exact same way; I’ve felt an urge to balance things between my left and right, especially my feet, for as long as I can remember (ironically, I can only see out of one eye). It’s the one thing that makes me think I have some form of (mild) OCD. I have to step off of stairs with my left foot, I have to cross sidewalk blocks in two strides if possible (I definitely relate to taking longer or shorter steps as needed), I have to put pressure on my foot when I’m in a car and counting as the dashed white lines pass by my window (on every other or third or fourth line, depending on the speed). In school I had to step on the colored tiles with my right foot and the white ones with my left. Sometimes if there’s a raindrop on the window it has to stay even with the horizon or the treeline, and I’ll shift my head or gaze so it appears as such until that’s not possible (although this is perhaps more of a game). Sometimes if one hand touches something in an unexpected way the other one must too.
