I did my research, and I perfectly match the symptoms of

and if I do have OCD, then this just explained a lot.
That's why I have a lot of taboo intrusive thoughts, that's why I'm paranoid on checking things repeatedly,
That's why I take showers all the time (Though, I don't think this one is a valid symptom), that's why I do not like it when people reorder my things differently,
that's why I get disgusted on things like a literal clean tissue or wet things sometimes, I get to "pinch" them
instead of actually holding them, that's why I have a difficulty of getting rid of things that are probably
useless, yet in my eyes they're not, I always think they might be useful someday, that's why I'm obsessed with
perfection and symmetry, specifically perfectly touching button-like things, or touch anything else that might share the same
feeling, if it didn't, I will retry until it feels like it, sometimes even making voices gets involved.
And most importantly, the thing that intrigued me the most, is that I've always known myself for doing
mental rituals and having tics, I never knew it was a thing until now, and I'm pretty surprised on how
accurate this one is, and I also get too anxious when someone notices me doing those rituals and tics,
but if I don't do them with perfection, I feel annoyed and anxious, and will redo them until it feels right. Crazy to
think that I had that since I was a kid, it always brought a sense of ease and comfort, or else it annoyingly won't stop knocking
on my forehead until I achieve it with perfection.
I also realized that I'm

ICD↗,
I specifically pick my fingers' knuckles' skin via my other hand or my lips, and I do it all the time,
and it's really not a healthy thing to do, but I unfortunately unconsciously do it, it feels so button-y so that's why im obsessed with it. Surprisingly, this is also one of the symptoms of OCD. And apparently
the dermatillomania and the mental rituals are a coping mechanism to my anxiety. But I'm honestly happy to know the answer to my oddly unexplained
manners, my constant anxiety, and my ridiculous overthinkings.
That explains why I sometimes get slapped with a sudden horrible thought or scenario in my head while I'm having a difficulty controlling
it, they tend to be extremely depressive scenarios, sometimes disgusting, and they do indeed make me feel severely anxious. Now, because of
the current personal issues that I got, these scenarios are becoming stronger, so strong that I wish I was not
conscious, I wish I could seek a therapist or a professional, but I'm too scared and ashamed to tell
anyone about it in my real life.
