Hmm, yeah that’s true billd, I should have remembered that. I think it’s just some mild kind of phobia. Sometimes I’m a little bit like Monk. But I’m also accident prone, so I have a love/no love relationship with danger. Mostly, I get a thrill outa scaring the crap outa myself . But much less as I’ve gotten older. 15 years ago my surfboard and my motorcycle were my two best friends. People mostly just rejected me.
When I first watched that Monk TV show I got a little self conscious, mostly I just laugh. I get grateful that I haven’t been traumatized like he was. OCD can sometimes be kinda like a hobby. Endlessly re-arranging stuff on those rare occasions when my home gets as clean as I like it. I almost can’t stop making things more symmetrical. I had a girlfriend that used to kid around with me about always fine tuning how the junk in my apartment was arranged OCD stuff. Later, when she became a bully, she said I was just neurotic. I am a little bit neurotic. I’m not really sure what the definition of neurotic is. But I feel like a weirdo. It’s a bummer when people look at me like I’m a weirdo. I got depressed probably because the ADHD symptoms were making me miserable and life was just plain too dang hard. It’s been getting easier for years, This site has greatly increased the self improvement/character growth part of my life. I’d like to write better. It’s good to be practicing more on this site. It’s cool not having my writing judged and ridiculed. The “have you ever considered the fact that you may have add?” kidding here is okay. People can’t resist, I get that.
I shouldn’t show up here without at least a small part of my sense of humor functioning. Some folks are really suffering from this impairment. It ain’t funny for us many times. But I’m sorta stuck in clowning around mode a lot of the time.
