I have been trying to kick away my OCD habits and it has been doing pretty well.
However, I still have this... "gamer's" OCD. If anyone played Pokémon or Bioshock before, it would be easier to explain.
I saw my brother played Bioshock on my Xbox360 that day and he set up a tornado trap. It's a trap, that will be there until someone steps on it. However, no one stepped on it and he just moved on. I have this urge of getting him to get an enemy to step on it. In fact, it has been in my mind for a few days. I wanted to secretly use his game file and get an enemy to step on it.
Then there is Pokémon. Now, I used to play Pokémon with an emulator. I played Pokémon Platinum halfway and I got a DS. So I converted it with an online converter, deleted the original file, and transferred it to my DS.
However, I opened the file and realised one of my Pokémon is in daycare. Again, I panicked. I feel like I should have removed him from Daycare before I convert and delete the original file. I even downloaded a data recovery software to see if i can recover the original file so I can remove him from Daycare before deleting the file again.
I just don't get WHY I'm afraid of these. I get this minor panic attacks and OCD urges over things that are CLEARLY irrational. It's not like germs or anything. I'm not sure why I am afraid.
I think I just need someone to tell me that all my fears are irrational and it doesn't bring any harm. Sigh. I really wonder why I am like this sometimes. It's frustrating.
