This sounds like actual OCD, or am I missing a joke you’re making? Or you jus’ sayin’?

Liking to sort things is not OCD, OCD is having to sort things otherwise you can’t function as a human being.

The post is not talking about that “likes to sort things”

OP is saying, “Stop calling everything OCD because this kinda behavior is the real thing.”

People use OCD to describe being overly organized, anal about cleaning or hyper-focused on a hobby or whatever.

Yes. The parent comment stated “I didn’t expect actual OCD”. This was a comment on the fact that the term OCD is diluted due to misuse of it to just mean “I like to be tidy”, which is why they weren’t expecting actual OCD.

Then the person you’re replying to was voicing their own frustration that the term is misused a lot. They were agreeing with the parent comment. They weren’t commenting on the content of the 4chan greentext, which indeed very clearly describes actual OCD.

I don’t know why I felt like being your lemmy comments tour guide today, but I thought I’d clear up the misunderstanding for no reason at all (I guess I’m just OCD like that).
