Highlight a personal flaw...

I have this on my wall

I do! Just like my granddad did (RIP, lung cancer) and my mum. So much for individualism. And to be honest I only use them as mixers in spliffs and then only the light Camel Blue.

A work colleague told me I was argumentative. I told her I wasn't.

I have severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. The volume on my TV has to be on an odd number -- better for it to be too loud or too quiet than for he volume to be on an even number. And I can't come home via the same route as I went out -- if I walk into town along the river, I have to return via the main road. I have a series of routes, specially designed to avoid retracing my steps.

I have the same thing with numbers, has to be odd and if I need to do something more than once I'll do it a minimum of three times. Cigarettes, splashing water on my face after washing it, volumes, 'checking' things before I got CBT and mostly rid myself of the physical aspect of the whole thing. Really need to go back to the docs to get more CBT and possibly go back on meds cos it's getting a lot worse again with the intrusive thoughts and whatnot. Least I know it can get better though.
 
I get the checking, and the odd number thing. Luckily not enough to affect my quality of life, but enough to make me traipse a mile-and-a-half home in order to check I've closed the window (which I've checked three times already, to the point of pushing against the glass).

Add lithium memory issues into the mix and it's a bit more annoying, but I get by.

I don't feel I have to do this, but I definitely prefer to make my journeys circular rather than out-and-back. It's just nicer.
 
I'm really bad at maintaining relationships with people who I don't see every day. It doesn't matter if you are my mum, best friends, lover or just a good mate - if I'm not seeing you every day I probably won't maintain a correspondence by email, phone, SMS, letter or otherwise. I've got a list as long as my arm of people who have written tomes to me who I have intended on replying to for years, and still do, but probably never will.

Ho hum.
 
A lot of people are like that. I wouldn't persecute yourself over it, though it does mean as lot to some people that you can make the effort, even if it's only a few syllables.

I find it difficult to maintain relationships with people I see day-to-day. :D
