I feel like punching someone when they say they have ocd when..

I totally get what you're saying. I dont like when people who are just "neat freaks" go around saying they have OCD.

you are right, they are jerks. don't hit anybody, though.

No, I think it's normal. But be mindful of situations where people DO have OCD and you're just assuming they don't. That's really judgmental. OCD is actually quite common. I have it myself but most people wouldn't think I do because it manifests itself in different ways, because there are different types of OCD. If someone like me told you they had OCD, it would be wrong for you to get angry with them because it would just show your ignorance about the condition.

I've noticed that too.
I don't have OCD, but I still think it sounds strange when people say that when they don't truly have it.

I suppose that in the past, people would just refer to themselves as going "crazy" if they did something silly. That was before specific psychiatric terms were more commonly used by the general public. Now people are being glib when referring to things like: OCD, ADD, Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, etc. People will never change. *sigh*

People just like to say they have psychological disorders for attention. For some reason, they think that makes them interesting and different. Ignore their stupidity and I hope you find a treatment that works for you.

I know exactly what you mean.

I think people just don't understand what real OCD is.

You know what's worse? When you do have it and people expect you to be a neat freak..

my OCD doesn't effect me i know its pathetic and i could get over it if i want but i cant be arsed, what really annoys me is when people think they've got something like ocd permanently. If you put your mind to it its easy to overcome

I actually have ocd too, it doesnt make me mad when people joke about it, but i have depression, and thats something i go berserk on if people joke about, so i see where your coming from

They're being ignorant and that is annoying.

Wow its a joke, lighten up dude. I'm adopted and when people joke that they must be adopted because their parents are really abnormal I don't feel upset.

Sounds like you have some issues about your OCD that you need to talk over with a psychologist.

I totally understand. People like to pretend they have it when the definition of OCD is commonly misunderstood. It makes me very furious when someone says they have severe OCD because they have to have perfect grammar.

yes its very normal. As a matter of fact i can see how annoying that would be. Considering the fact that i get extremely pissed when so called people claim to be Christian yet abide to almost nothing in the bible or choose what to abide to that fits them. sorry for trolling towards the end :p

SAAAAME!! I have OCD legitly too and when people joke about it I just wanna tell them off for saying that.
Stands for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

I have OCD and I like to cope with it by joking about it with other people. Like people sometimes don't believe I really have it because I do joke about it. So if somebody really does have it don't be surprised when you find out they really do when you thought they didn't.

Not trying to be ignorant!!! But wat does OCD stand for

i agree completely, now people are going around saying it like its a new fad when people like us havce to deal with the real deal almost every day.

I feel u I have OCD to but nobody I know even nos about

People also always say they have Atention Deficeit Disorder. I don't really know what it is but I know all the people that say they have it really don't.

Psh, people wanting to punch people?! Who does that?? Haha it's completely normal, though maybe some do? I have it, but not nearly as much as some people. And so many people are stupid and don't realize there's someone that has it worse.

I know exactly how you feel!

Listen to BrightEyes, she knows what she's talking about.

yes it is normal to want to punch others in the face...acting upon the urge, not so much.
