Lets see...
I make thousands of lists. Just random lists like.. things I want, sayings, books I want to read, people I hate, things I like to do in the car, weird things about me, things I collect, and other lists.

-------

I collect random crap that has no apparent value.
Like..
Fortune cookie fortunes
Tea bag holder things (The little paper that you hold the bag by.. but ONLY from the brand Chin Chu)
Yankee Candle Car Jars (that have already been used)
Glowsticks (I have about 6 years worth of 4th of july glowsticks)
bussiness cards
and Old magazines..

-------

I feel sooo attatched to my plushies that I don't even play with or anything that I puke and feel absolutely horrible if I throw one away. I think of them as beings with personalities not just fabric with stuffing inside..

-------

I'm extremely hard to please. Nothing makes me happy.
If someone buys me some shoes or a gift I think of how horrible I am to accept them.

-------

I used to brush my teeth for hours. (while doing other things too)

-------

I get sooo many muscle spasms.
Like.. Sometimes I will be doing nothing unusual and all the sudden my neck will spazz out and I find myself with my head completely sideways and my eye twitching

-------

I used to put peoples waterbottles upside down, so that they are standing on their caps, for no reason at all but that I liked them like that.

-------

I like to organize other people's belongings, but my room is a mess

-------

I put anything I like on the wall of my room, like random photos, stickers, smell-testers, pokemon cards, birthday cards, anything I can get my hands on that I think would look cool on my wall

-------

I LOOOOVE scented things. You know those little pieces of paper that stores have to test out their perfumes? I test millions of smells and hang them on my walls and I smell them all the time

-------

I get the randomest urges to want certain things that I don't need... Like 3D glassess, bubble blowers, scratch and sniff stickers and other stuff

-------

more.

    the brushing teeth for hours and the muscle spasmz are not normal

    the odd minor muscle spasm is normal, but your ones don't sound minor...

    over brushing of teeth can lead to receding gum line (unless you have a very soft brush)

    the rest is what makes you you and they seem great

    OCD? No. Abnormal? Yes.
    I don't get frequent muscle spasms though.

    Most of this is normal. The rest is definitely OCD/Hoarding. You do need to work on what is simply enjoyable to you (perfectly fine!) and what is a compulsion that you cannot control and doesn't make any sense. One useless object on a wall cuz you like to look at it is one thing. A garbage bag full of teabag papers is an obsession. :) I would LOVE to read all your lists. :) :)

    I suggest seeing a psychiatrist and then a psychologist. Even if you are poor, most cities have some kind of assistance. Perhaps with minor medication, you could stop the cycle of self-destructive behavior.

    Remember, if your house ever catches on fire, all the crap you've surrounded yourself with will cause it to go up like a tinderbox.

    Good luck with your journey into self-discovery. Just don't do it alone.

    When I started reading.. I could totally relate to this. I am also clingy to alot of stuff that others find useless and is trash to keep. But, to me it's just very precious cause some of those stuff holds memories.. like I collect cinema tickets and old tissue papers which my best friend drew a heart on. Just silly old stuff that are priceless for me.

    About collecting teabag labels and especially for a certain brand.. that means you like how it looks like and you find it hard to throw it away.

    And you collect magazines, business cards.. etc.
    I suppose you're into Graphic Design. You like the design of those stuff ..maybe you're not aware of it. But, deep inside you like it.

    Also, placing the bottle upside down means that you're creative and you like things to be done differently cause you find it boring maybe or very traditional.

    Considering hanging everything you like on the wall is kind of strange to me. Bu, I know some people do it but only photos and notes.

    And, organizing stuff that aren't yours but your room is a mess.. is strange too xD
