pls save me from myself

I count for odd and even. Every single sentence I read, every single subtitle in a translation or every line in a book, I count for odd and even. I count the number of words to determine whether the line had an odd or even number of words, I count the number of letters to determine whether there is an odd or even number of letters.

I count including punctuation, I count excluding punctutation. I count including spaces, I count excluding spaces. Sometimes I count hyphenated words as one, sometimes I do not. Sometimes I do several at once and compare them. Sometimes I do several then count whether I got an odd number of odd/evens or an even number of odd/evens.

I don't know when I started doing this, but I do it. And it's fucking insufferable. Sometimes if I'm watching an anime I friggin pause the video so I can finish all the computations on the subtitles. Sometimes when I'm trying to figure out whether someone is a scumread I get totally sidetracked by how many perfect even sentences they happened to consecutively write. If you want to tilt me as scum do 5 odd sentences in a row and I'll be too enraged to think straight.

It's not always that bad tho. It feels good when you get a long chain of even results for example.

I also multiply the numbers on car license plates and telephone numbers and obsess over whether, during train journeys, there is a continual path of buildings, fences, trees exc. that connect the left side of the window to the right side of the window from my perspective. And, if such a path connection exists, if there are multiple distinct path connections and how long they maintain for.

If one of you fucks find this remotely relatable I will be vindicated. Any trolls will be reported for cyberbullying.

What do you want us to do

I really thought it was just a fart

it was

my ass is satisfied

Are you serious lol
Why would anybody try cyberbullying you
Everybody loves u
How often are odd sentences appearing anyways
5 are genuinely tough :cherrim:

Wait do you mean letters or words

I definitely do letters. Words in a sentence I will do less frequently.

that is odd sir. have u seen a psychiatrist? no meme

isn't this just OCD? I think there are treatments to improve it? Not trying to be rude it just sounds like exactly that

Same as Aamirus. And no, you're not alone in that situation, although I'm not personally touched by that, there are many people who have similar patterns (as far as I know). If you're finding it annoying, there may be a need to do something about it.

I feel better. Thankyou.

I'll book a GP and see what they make of it. I think I dramatized how bad it was in my frustration, it's not happening all the time tbf lol

In response to Kenny, sometimes it's words sometimes it's letters. You'd think odd appears 50% of the time, but it feels like markedly less than 50%. Though that's probably confirmation bias.

have u tried turning ur brain off and turning it back on again?? maybe a shower? i can smell u from here dude :sick:

I do it sometimes but not to that extent. It used to be super bad for a short while when I was a kid, nowadays I still sometimes count letters, sometimes words. Favourite of mine is to see if a word is 10 letters long.

PS: I'd also be up for chess ayy
