5. Neatness
There’s certainly nothing wrong with being neat, but like almost anything else OCD can take it to extremes. OCD can drive some people to insist that each and every object within their control be placed in a very specific manner. It’s not uncommon for people exhibiting this behavior to what every knickknack perfectly spaced on a mantle or every placemat on a table perfectly aligned and symmetrical. As with most OCD behaviors, failing to maintain their environment according to their desires will lead to anxiety.
