I have a obsession with 5

27 Comments

What I mean is that I love to count by five have things ordered by five and in general I feel comfortable when I see things ordered by five.

If I have money I like to have 5,10,20,50 and 100 dollar bills I don't feel comfortable with one dollar bills and when it come to change it has to be nickles dimes or quarters no pennies and if I do they have to be ordered by five.

When it comes to clothes I have them ordered in five by five rows stacked up by fives.

When I have nothing better to do or if I can't sleep at night I mentally count by fives.

Even when it comes to time such as the hour or date of month or year I feel happy when it's the fifth tenth fifthteen twentieth twenty-fifth thirtieth of the days the months and I'm really happy on May and October both being the fifth and tenth months.

This is just a little bit of a example I could go on for days about how I order things in my life.

If I don't have this structure I times I don't feel right the fact I was born in 1994 on the third month on the 18th day kinda bugs me I the fact that I think my date of death would end on a fifth or tenth etc etc.

Is this obsession mentality unhealthy.

    I have this same obsession with the number 4. I even have a habit of counting my steps in sets of four, along with other things that I do. Probably not normal since OCD runs in my family, but you're definitely not alone. I can't stand the number 5 and other odd numbers, but to each their own.

      I would say it started for me around the time I learned multiplication. It stuck and built up from there. Also I figured there are other people who have a similar habit just different as you said to each their own.

        MAMBO NUMBA FIVE!

        Thing song reminds me of the music in those old timey black and white cartoons where everything is moving really fast, and you can't tell what kind of animals they all are. Yanno?

        I'm not generally that interested in stars much less obsessed. Unless you're the Sun, and about to explode, I don't give a monkey.

            No, I don't have a monkey, but just imagine what I could do if I had a monkey. The possibilities boggle the mind.

              Yes, you could change diapers and clean feces all day long, perhaps even from your person as monkeys are expert poop slingers. Though adorable, not the best domestic companions. I'd stick with cats.

              Cats RULE, dogs drool, and monkeys stool. Wait. You have a thing for poop, right? Maybe you ought to get a monkey after all. ;P

    It's not normal, but it's interesting, and not all that uncommon. It sounds like obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which is about as common as asthma or diabetes.

    Does it cause you distress in your relationships or daily life?

      No I have no problems socially and most people I know don't really think much of it.

        So more of an idiosyncrasy than a problem. I find this sort of subject matter incredibly fascinating. Thank you for sharing.
