I often refer to myself as neurotic, but not in the word's technical form (relating to neurosis). However, I do use it in the non-technical sense (abnormally sensitive, obsessive, or anxious) because I think that sums me up quite nicely.
On Sims 3, I made myself as a sim and one of my traits is
neurotic. This trait makes sims check to see if sinks have been turned off a few times, and if they don't then they start to feel anxious about it. Which is completely accurate to how I act.
Neurotic
I'm abnormally sensitive in both my physical senses (overly heightened hearing, sense of smell, taste and occasionally visual sensitivity) and emotionally (I'm resilient in some ways, but sometimes minor things will lead to intense emotions).
Obsessive by either compulsions (desire to say a certain set of words or a singular word after doing a certain action, or with the action itself) or with a topic (cats, particular types of seahorses and butterflies...so on. Sometimes even a fear or something disturbing I've seen).
Anxious (tendency to worry about everything that could go wrong).
Yup. Seems accurate.
I'm highly sensitive but I'm not on the spectrum. Not on the autism spectrum that is, but it is possible that there's
something going on with me. Or perhaps not. I've not really surprised at my obsessive nature, I have relatives and ancestors that either show or used to show certain obsessive traits. Seems to run in the family to an extent.
