I Have Obsessive-compulsive Tendencies But Not Ocd

I’ve never been diagnosed, but since I was younger everyone i met, especially my friends told me I had the tendencies of someone who has OCD. I do things in repetition all the time, and I’m obsessed with cleaning, I clean my house at least 6 times a day. And when I arrange things it has to be in my certain order, and no other order. I don’t know, I have always been like this, when I was in elementary, my classmates thought I was weird or strange because I rearranged my colors when I was going to use them from lighter colors to darker, and if I was going to let somebody use them other than myslef, they had to do the same, only one at a time, then when they were done with one, they had to put it back in place, and make sure it wasn’t unsymmetrical or I wouldn’t let them take another one. Nevertheless, nobody ever asked me to use my things. I still do these things, when I write, I only use 3 pencils, and they always have to be exact same size, if I sharpen one, I have to sharpen the rest.
Please tell me other people do this too. 😂😕

You are not alone.
It's not hard to change but it requires a skilled therapist or preferably an analyst who can help you find the cause.
