Hey so I'm a sufferer of OCD and I feel really offended by this title. It's really insensitive, OCD is not just obsessively cleaning things, it feels like there's another person thinking for you constantly so you have to do meticulous things to make up for the awful thoughts you have. It makes one feel like they are going fucking crazy EVERY WAKING MOMENT OF THE DAY and titles and people saying things like "oh I clean things all the time, I'm so OCD," makes it so much worse because it degrades just how bad the disorder actually is and makes us feel so much worse.

ugh OMFG THIS NEEDS TO STOP! STOP USING OCD TO DESCRIBE YOU AND YR STUPID LITTLE ANAL CLEANING ROUTINES. ITS VERY HURTFUL AND WHEN YOU ARE AN ACTUAL SUFFERER OF SOMETHING ESPECIALLY OCD AND YOU TELL SOMEONE THEY'RE LIKE "oohhhh yeeah okay,you just like to clean." NO! FUCK OFF. I scald my fucking hands with hot water everyfuckingday to just get them CLEAN ENOUGH. This isn't some quirky bullshit this is a mental disorder fuckwits!

The thing to remember is that most people have had no reason to educate themselves on these issues, and that OCPD, where all these myths comes from sounds a like OCD in name. I think if most of the people actually had any real clue as to the mistake they were making and how it made you and others feel, they wouldn't make these jokes.
But those kind of realizations most likely will never enter into the mind of someone that has no personal experience or no education in the subject. You're still entirely justified for feeling upset. But just keep in mind that its more ignorance than lack of concern for your situation.
With that said, this isn't just an individual's post on a message board, so Buzzfeed should take some responsibility here in regards to allowing ignorant content on their site. I realize its a silly and humorous site. But if we're going to be overly sensitive for some demographics in our society, we should give the same sensitivity equally to all.

I hear you! I don't have OCD myself but I have ADD and whenever I hear people say they are so ADD today makes me mad as hell. Both are serious issues that don't reflect a quirk. I wish people would just say "Im a clean freak" and "I didn't really feel like working today" instead of using real disorders like that.

I'm OCD and I'm okay with people using the term lightly because frankly, having everyone look at me like i'm crazy when I have to touch the dashboard 20 times while I'm driving or check my pocket for my keys EVERY time I walk through a door gets exhausting. (And those are just the little things I'm willing to share.) Yeah, it's a serious thing, but it's okay to have a sense of humor about it.I've read this post (and all the comments) four times this morning and my first thought was "oh great, now I have to do all of these." The fact that the author referred to OCD in the headline didn't bother me at all, but when I see these Buzzfeed lists I feel I have to check everything off.I'm pretty sure Buzzfeed is run by Satan.

I, before I became friends with a person that is OCD would make the "uninformed" comment about my "cleaning habits" or "counting", etc ... but, my friend suffers OCD to the point it is a life threat for him - he can't function in "normal society" .. he has had brain surgery to try & control his uncontrollable OCD issues - has spent THOUSANDS of money on the surgery that was not perfected - now, they have made leap & bounds - he still has the metal prongs inserted in his brain - the two pace makers in his chest - they have snipped wires - he has hope one day he will be able to attempt the surgery again - and he might live a more normal life. I am blessed that I have been enlightened by Charles in my life !!! Never did I have a clue the severity & life challenges there are with severe OCD illness ... I apologize for ever being so ignorant to the pain & suffering & the real OCD illness !!!

Isaac Duke U don't get it ... OCD is / can be a life threatening illness --- I made jokes about being OCD before ... I got lucky - what my little quirks were - they are non existent now since I was diagnosed with cancer & while I was being killed with chemo & suffered brain damage - did my little cleaning oddities stop - for the real OCD people - it is a HORRIBLE life to try to exist in & many of them don't make it ! It is a life threatening disorder - if they are willing to speak out about it - after it has been used for so long as a "joke" - more power to them - maybe someday - you will be faced with a situation or a loved one that you will see what it is all about ... I can joke about my cancer ... but, I don't want other people to .. I've had too many friends die. But, we are all entitled to our opinion - be it ignorant or not ...

@Chriss Beckett, I feel the need to interject here. Otter has a point, OCD is a horrible debilitating metal illness which people take far too lightly nowadays. I have to take Prozac on a daily basis just so I can live a relatively normal life, which you seem to take for granted. This is after 6 moths of counseling on the subject because it got so bad at one point I began to consider of ending my own life just to escape the constant harassing intrusive thoughts I could not escape from. (This was a couple years ago, I am alright now) Your statement: "Care factor --- zero. Go clean something ." Just goes to prove that ignorance of this topic is still alive and well. Spend some time with someone who has to battle true OCD and then maybe you will understand the frustration of hearing every person who likes to be tidy saying they have OCD. It not a laughing matter. Otters anger is justified, your blatant sarcasm is not.

Can you stop using OCD as a synonym for neurotic? It is a real mental disorder that involves a lot of suffering. If you were showing a collection of photos of people whose emotions changed from picture to picture would you label it as, "OMG look at all of these bi-polar people!"? Actually, knowing Buzzfeed, you would.

I don't think people understand the concept of freedom of speech. People, for the most part, can say whatever they like. In actuality, Buzzfeed falls under the legislation involving freedom of the press in relation to freedom of speech, if I am not mistaken. However, with that freedom comes the understanding that we do not have to like it. Freedom of speech protects the person from punishment surrounding supposed speech. What we have here, is not the barring of someone's right to say what he or she wants, but our refusal to like it. Furthermore, it is not the proper usage of the term. I could call you a donkey right now, and have the right to say it, but I think the more appropriate term would be jackass.

Furthermore, It is still widely debated weather theres a difference between the two first amendment freedoms. buzzfeed may fall under freedom of the press, however our communicaton does not. the "barring" of your refusal is more of an expression, rather than speech, or a press release. I could call you a judgmental whore, but that wouldn't be verry appropriate.

You think that, okay. I think they're both really bad. That wasn't even my point, though. As far as baby-ish goes, she started the name calling. Want to point fingers? Look her direction. He may not have proved himself a bigger person, since he resigned to name calling also, but that doesn't make him in better or worse. They both reacted to each others' opinions badly. The fact that you jumped in and decided to do some name calling of your own...that doesn't speak very highly of you, either. I'll give it to you that he had already called this lady, who may or may not be your friend already, a whore...but that still doesn't really justify stooping yourself to that level. You can't seriously expect to be part of the name calling and expect people to see you as separate. Just saying...

Wow. This has gotten really off topic. I just wanted to call attention to Buzzfeed once again using an inappropriate term for one of their articles. It's not just them. People use the term all the time, such as, "I'm so OCD." The name calling was just the result of the gentleman calling Lisa bi-polar, and crying freedom of speech, which has no place in this argument. Freedom of speech only applies to the Government stifling one's speech not a 25 year old woman on her computer, complaining about an article title. Crying out freedom of speech continuously is like crying out "fire" in a movie theater; it causes nothing but disruption, incites unnecessary riots and will most likely cause me to miss Ryan Gosling brooding.

What people really should say is that they sometimes have symptoms similar to obsessive compulsive PERSONALITY disorder (OCPD), in that they are obsessed with rules or tidiness about certain things.

Yes, cause the "importance of correctness" is so essential that it trumps freedom of speech. I agree that it's ridiculous to expect someone to find another feed just cause they disagree with something on this one. But that's just it...people shouldn't have to be tip-toe-ing around feelings. Be kind, sure. That's obvious. But to be so acutely aware of every issue, and change your wording accordingly, is also too far. Why can't people just understand that not everything that is said is going to be comfortable to everyone? And it's not because of anyone being rude or anything, either. It's just that different people word things differently. That's the beauty of freedom of speech. It makes it possible for everyone to say what they mean, in a way that is comfortable for them. Some see it as rude, some see it as a flippant way to get a meaning across. I think reading too much into the title of an article about household tips for cleaning is pretty ridiculous. In my opinion, that would be classified in the "overly sensitive" area. We don't have to be so PC that any normal conversation is now torn apart looking for fault.

It's nice to live in a country where that's possible, because I know I'm not perfect. And neither is anyone else. We all have sucky days when we're intentionally rude to someone because we feel angry. And we all have times when we say something that offends someone simply because it's the words we have, and can't think of another way to say what we mean.

Oh I completely agree. I think turning this into a Freedom of Speech issue is preposterous. My main concern with this article title was frankly Buzzfeed has used the terminology again and it only perpetuates the myth that anyone who is neurotic has OCD. I am an OCD sufferer, and there are times it has taken over my life. Yet, I am looking around my apartment right now, and it is in no way clean. OCD is not synonymous with cleanness and that was pretty much the point I was trying to make from get-go. I am not offended per-se, I was more just calling attention to the irresponsible use of terminology.

Dave Gnash On a private website there is NO such thing as Freedom of Speech.
What is allowed or not allowed is strictly is the website owner's discretion.
In deciding what to or NOT to allow they will take into consideration the comments of their readers, so it is sensible and wise for people who do NOT like the casual use of OCD for being neurotic to speak up, because websites do value readership. It's the source of revenue.
Likewise if you think it's a charming twist on the term you can speak up.
If they decide yes it's a wrong and insensitive to use actual psychiatric disorders to refer to people with idiosyncratic behaviors they could ban it, and if they wanted ban people who used it from that point onward.
The notion that if they did decide that, they'd be in trouble due to some constitutional right is laughable.

and no dave, its not freedom of speech, because the internet is not america!. so technically "freedom of speech" does not apply here. and also, freedom of speech does not mean you get to go and use the wrong term for something and get away with it when someone points it out. in fact, while im going on about freedom of speech, if i were to have gotten a penny for everytime i have heard an american... and sadly canadian quote freedom of speech when ever they said a hurtful, asinine or in any way stupid, moronic, or belittling comment, i would be a bloody fucking millionaire. maybe even a billionaire. and for those who think that i must be joking... im not, maybe not quite that much, but i do hear it way too often out of way too many people, of all races and creeds, not just the two mentioned, they just are the most prevalent in my experience.

Amy, neurosis is also a diagnosable disorder, and I can only laugh that you chose that term. What the you and the writer actually mean is simply "obsessive", which is distinct from OCD in that is lacks the "compulsive" element. Dave, you show a complete lack of understanding of the meaning and intent of freedom of speech. Our freedom exists so we can challenge opinions and fight political and social injustice, not to justify ignorance.

OCPD is more like what they're describing. it's not actually related to OCD. OCPD makes you an obsessed perfectionist. OCD makes you do rituals like turning around 3 times before you answer the phone. very different thing.

Jonathan Jones · Freelance Artist at Cheshire Cat Studios
I think the problem is the confusion between Obsessive Compulsions [which everyone has, the little ticks or habits or quirks that every human being either develops naturally or is taught as they grow up], and Obsessive Compulsive DISORDER, which comes from a mental trauma and causes the part of the brain that develops the obsessive compulsions to overload and overreact. Yes, this is a common misconception and people aren't very "PC" about it, but it's also hard for ignorant people to adapt to what they see as "complicated" information. People in general are just fairly rude, obnoxious, ignorant, and just downright stupid a lot of the time, and all the nagging in the world isn't going to change that, sadly.

Amy R. Cohen Thank you so much. It's hard to hear people say "I'm SO OCD!" when they have absolutely NO idea what it's like. It's a mental illness that can indeed take over your entire life. People just need to be educated about it. Yes, everyone has their issues, no one's saying that they don't, or that one problem's more important than another. No one can truly understand OCD unless they have it. Not even the people closest to the sufferer. After many years of therapy, love and support, I finally have a life. I wouldn't wish OCD on my worst enemy!!

OCD can take many different forms not only "i gotta keep everything clean or I gotta check the door lock 100 times before leaving the house" So the use of the term here appears to be from that perspective and not the other bazillion sides. I would venture to say a ton of the people who commented on this post, both in favour and against ,present OCD traits in their daily life but don't even know it OR they at least know someone who does. The disorder itself has much more to do with your thought process in that a person has obsessive thoughts (things that won't go away) and then has compulsive behaviours associated with these thoughts. Again as I eluded to earlier, these obsssive thoughts and compulsions can take on many different forms and manifest themselves in many different ways. SO, all I'm saying here is, maybe before someone goes and starts using a term such as this, in a forum where a wide cross section of the population will read it, they should maybe be a little more informed to be able to defend themselves a little better rather than name calling and defamination.

Hey so I'm a sufferer of OCD and I feel really offended by this title. It's really insensitive, OCD is not just obsessively cleaning things, it feels like there's another person thinking for you constantly so you have to do meticulous things to make up for the awful thoughts you have. It makes one feel like they are going fucking crazy EVERY WAKING MOMENT OF THE DAY and titles and people saying things like "oh I clean things all the time, I'm so OCD," makes it so much worse because it degrades just how bad the disorder actually is and makes us feel so much worse.

The thing to remember is that most people have had no reason to educate themselves on these issues, and that OCPD, where all these myths comes from sounds a like OCD in name. I think if most of the people actually had any real clue as to the mistake they were making and how it made you and others feel, they wouldn't make these jokes.
But those kind of realizations most likely will never enter into the mind of someone that has no personal experience or no education in the subject. You're still entirely justified for feeling upset. But just keep in mind that its more ignorance than lack of concern for your situation.
With that said, this isn't just an individual's post on a message board, so Buzzfeed should take some responsibility here in regards to allowing ignorant content on their site. I realize its a silly and humorous site. But if we're going to be overly sensitive for some demographics in our society, we should give the same sensitivity equally to all.

(And those are just the little things I'm willing to share.) Yeah, it's a serious thing, but it's okay to have a sense of humor about it.I've read this post (and all the comments) four times this morning and my first thought was "oh great, now I have to do all of these."

I, before I became friends with a person that is OCD would make the "uninformed" comment about my "cleaning habits" or "counting", etc ... but, my friend suffers OCD to the point it is a life threat for him - he can't function in "normal society" .. he has had brain surgery to try & control his uncontrollable OCD issues - has spent THOUSANDS of money on the surgery that was not perfected - now, they have made leap & bounds - he still has the metal prongs inserted in his brain - the two pace makers in his chest - they have snipped wires - he has hope one day he will be able to attempt the surgery again - and he might live a more normal life. I am blessed that I have been enlightened by Charles in my life !!! Never did I have a clue the severity & life challenges there are with severe OCD illness ... I apologize for ever being so ignorant to the pain & suffering & the real OCD illness !!!

Isaac Duke U don't get it ... OCD is / can be a life threatening illness --- I made jokes about being OCD before ... I got lucky - what my little quirks were - they are non existent now since I was diagnosed with cancer & while I was being killed with chemo & suffered brain damage - did my little cleaning oddities stop - for the real OCD people - it is a HORRIBLE life to try to exist in & many of them don't make it ! It is a life threatening disorder - if they are willing to speak out about it - after it has been used for so long as a "joke" - more power to them - maybe someday - you will be faced with a situation or a loved one that you will see what it is all about ... I can joke about my cancer ... but, I don't want other people to .. I've had too many friends die. But, we are all entitled to our opinion - be it ignorant or not ...

@Chriss Beckett, I feel the need to interject here. Otter has a point, OCD is a horrible debilitating metal illness which people take far too lightly nowadays. I have to take Prozac on a daily basis just so I can live a relatively normal life, which you seem to take for granted. This is after 6 moths of counseling on the subject because it got so bad at one point I began to consider of ending my own life just to escape the constant harassing intrusive thoughts I could not escape from. (This was a couple years ago, I am alright now) Your statement: "Care factor --- zero. Go clean something ." Just goes to prove that ignorance of this topic is still alive and well. Spend some time with someone who has to battle true OCD and then maybe you will understand the frustration of hearing every person who likes to be tidy saying they have OCD. It not a laughing matter. Otters anger is justified, your blatant sarcasm is not.

I don't think people understand the concept of freedom of speech. People, for the most part, can say whatever they like. In actuality, Buzzfeed falls under the legislation involving freedom of the press in relation to freedom of speech, if I am not mistaken. However, with that freedom comes the understanding that we do not have to like it. Freedom of speech protects the person from punishment surrounding supposed speech. What we have here, is not the barring of someone's right to say what he or she wants, but our refusal to like it. Furthermore, it is not the proper usage of the term. I could call you a donkey right now, and have the right to say it, but I think the more appropriate term would be jackass.

You think that, okay. I think they're both really bad. That wasn't even my point, though. As far as baby-ish goes, she started the name calling. Want to point fingers? Look her direction. He may not have proved himself a bigger person, since he resigned to name calling also, but that doesn't make him in better or worse. They both reacted to each others' opinions badly. The fact that you jumped in and decided to do some name calling of your own...that doesn't speak very highly of you, either. I'll give it to you that he had already called this lady, who may or may not be your friend already, a whore...but that still doesn't really justify stooping yourself to that level. You can't seriously expect to be part of the name calling and expect people to see you as separate. Just saying...

Wow. This has gotten really off topic. I just wanted to call attention to Buzzfeed once again using an inappropriate term for one of their articles. It's not just them. People use the term all the time, such as, "I'm so OCD." The name calling was just the result of the gentleman calling Lisa bi-polar, and crying freedom of speech, which has no place in this argument. Freedom of speech only applies to the Government stifling one's speech not a 25 year old woman on her computer, complaining about an article title. Crying out freedom of speech continuously is like crying out "fire" in a movie theater; it causes nothing but disruption, incites unnecessary riots and will most likely cause me to miss Ryan Gosling brooding.

Yes, cause the "importance of correctness" is so essential that it trumps freedom of speech. I agree that it's ridiculous to expect someone to find another feed just cause they disagree with something on this one. But that's just it...people shouldn't have to be tip-toe-ing around feelings. Be kind, sure. That's obvious. But to be so acutely aware of every issue, and change your wording accordingly, is also too far. Why can't people just understand that not everything that is said is going to be comfortable to everyone? And it's not because of anyone being rude or anything, either. It's just that different people word things differently. That's the beauty of freedom of speech. It makes it possible for everyone to say what they mean, in a way that is comfortable for them. Some see it as rude, some see it as a flippant way to get a meaning across. I think reading too much into the title of an article about household tips for cleaning is pretty ridiculous. In my opinion, that would be classified in the "overly sensitive" area. We don't have to be so PC that any normal conversation is now torn apart looking for fault.

It's nice to live in a country where that's possible, because I know I'm not perfect. And neither is anyone else. We all have sucky days when we're intentionally rude to someone because we feel angry. And we all have times when we say something that offends someone simply because it's the words we have, and can't think of another way to say what we mean.

Oh I completely agree. I think turning this into a Freedom of Speech issue is preposterous. My main concern with this article title was frankly Buzzfeed has used the terminology again and it only perpetuates the myth that anyone who is neurotic has OCD. I am an OCD sufferer, and there are times it has taken over my life. Yet, I am looking around my apartment right now, and it is in no way clean. OCD is not synonymous with cleanness and that was pretty much the point I was trying to make from get-go. I am not offended per-se, I was more just calling attention to the irresponsible use of terminology.

Dave Gnash On a private website there is NO such thing as Freedom of Speech.
What is allowed or not allowed is strictly is the website owner's discretion.
In deciding what to or NOT to allow they will take into consideration the comments of their readers, so it is sensible and wise for people who do NOT like the casual use of OCD for being neurotic to speak up, because websites do value readership. It's the source of revenue.
Likewise if you think it's a charming twist on the term you can speak up.
If they decide yes it's a wrong and insensitive to use actual psychiatric disorders to refer to people with idiosyncratic behaviors they could ban it, and if they wanted ban people who used it from that point onward.
The notion that if they did decide that, they'd be in trouble due to some constitutional right is laughable.

I think the problem is the confusion between Obsessive Compulsions [which everyone has, the little ticks or habits or quirks that every human being either develops naturally or is taught as they grow up], and Obsessive Compulsive DISORDER, which comes from a mental trauma and causes the part of the brain that develops the obsessive compulsions to overload and overreact. Yes, this is a common misconception and people aren't very "PC" about it, but it's also hard for ignorant people to adapt to what they see as "complicated" information. People in general are just fairly rude, obnoxious, ignorant, and just downright stupid a lot of the time, and all the nagging in the world isn't going to change that, sadly.

Amy R. Cohen Thank you so much. It's hard to hear people say "I'm SO OCD!" when they have absolutely NO idea what it's like. It's a mental illness that can indeed take over your entire life. People just need to be educated about it. Yes, everyone has their issues, no one's saying that they don't, or that one problem's more important than another. No one can truly understand OCD unless they have it. Not even the people closest to the sufferer. After many years of therapy, love and support, I finally have a life. I wouldn't wish OCD on my worst enemy!!

OCD can take many different forms not only "i gotta keep everything clean or I gotta check the door lock 100 times before leaving the house" So the use of the term here appears to be from that perspective and not the other bazillion sides. I would venture to say a ton of the people who commented on this post, both in favour and against ,present OCD traits in their daily life but don't even know it OR they at least know someone who does. The disorder itself has much more to do with your thought process in that a person has obsessive thoughts (things that won't go away) and then has compulsive behaviours associated with these thoughts. Again as I eluded to earlier, these obsssive thoughts and compulsions can take on many different forms and manifest themselves in many different ways. SO, all I'm saying here is, maybe before someone goes and starts using a term such as this, in a forum where a wide cross section of the population will read it, they should maybe be a little more informed to be able to defend themselves a little better rather than name calling and defamination.

Just as a point of order, Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is medically defined as a neurosis, and therefore would be something of a synonym for neurotic, if a too-specific degree of one.

Sharon Garner - your statement is the problem here! Just because you like to have a neat house does not mean you have "mild OCD". If you enjoy having OCD, chances are you don't really have it. It is NOT something enjoyable, it can be hell if you really suffer from it.

Dave Gnash did you just use a mental illness as an insult? That's very tactless. If you don't understand the reason behind the offense, then don't comment on it. Many people suffer terribly from the stigma of mental illness, and it's the bullying of these people (such as your statement) that perpetuates such ignorance.

I have OCD, and by all means it is not solely about cleaning. To me, it's a perpetual state of worry, bodily cleanliness, severe anxiety, and fear. I always hated when people are like "Oh, I have OCD...I have to make sure the tv volume is set on an even number." If that's all OCD was, I'd be in heaven, because in reality, my life can be a living, exhausting, hell.

Actually its a combination of ignorance towards a researched and categorized disorder, and a common/forgivable but immature tendency in people to want to label yourself as having a disorder to feel unique or special.
The symptoms that are jokingly referenced here would more commonly be found in a person suffering from the personality disorder OCPD, obsessive compulsive personality disorder... While the name sounds a lot like OCD, its actually a completely separate issue, with separate symptoms and causes. One of the biggest differences is that OCD is traced back to biochemical differences in the brain, where OCPD is generally categorized as a personality disorder - meaning it develops through external stimuli.
Some symptoms can appear similar, but for the most part OCD and OCPD are very different. OCPD people have extreme urges for order and control, thus the constant cleaning - and its too an extent where it causes serious issues with the majority of their relationships with other people. OCD on the other hand, in a general perspective, deals with intrusive and uncontrollable irrational thoughts that enter the person's mind. (Thats where the rituals come from - as a way to cope with the anxiety from these thoughts)
Some basic ways to differentiate:
- if you like arranging your pens on your desk etc- you're an average person that just enjoys a sense of symmetry and order
- if you're constantly stressed out, and find yourself irritated by everyone around you and they the same because you need things absolutely clean at ALL times, or you don't like other people making decisions for you, even the simplest ones, and its costs you friendships, employment, relationships and/or marriages you could be OCPD
- if you spend 45 minutes every day rearranging the pens on your desk, not because you actually care about the order, but because whenever leave work, the thought that something horrible is going to happen if you don't get the order just right (like you or a family member might die) overwhelms you with stifling anxiety, even though you know the thought is entirely silly and stupid, you could be OCD.

I know the feeling. Its like when people say they are so ADD today if they procrastinate, it bothers me so much because there is so much more to ADD than attention span, just like there is so much more to OCD than being a clean freak.
