OCD

[viktor]

well, after about 5 and a half years i come to realise i in fact have OCD (Obsessive Cantring Disorder)
i come to this conclusion after much deliberation, it wasnt easy to admit but unusually easy to accept. i find that cantr takes up 23% of my thoughts and 75% of my entertainment, i use more of my brain to play 3 chars than i used to get strait A's in 3 subjects in high school, 1 in 3 conversations i mention cantr within the first 5 minutes of and when i dont mention it in the first 5 minutes it is burning in the back of my head that my special powers make the other person bring it up in the first 10 min. it is a well known fact that i have been more sucessful in the lives of 90% of my chars than i have been in my own life and if the technology existed would consider having myself uploaded to live out my life in the cantr world.
if you exibit any of the above symptoms you may also have OCD, if you try to do anything about it you may inadvertantly cause serious negative effects on your health, all you can do is make sure you have 15 character slots filled and be as active as possible so my chars never get bored.

have a nice day

One thing I noticed is that when I have limited extra time, Cantr is the first to fill that slot.

Frances, et.al (1995, p. 378) describe individuals with OCPD as:

* perfectionistic, constricted, and excessively disciplined;
* behaviorally rigid, formal, cool, distant, intellectualized, and detailed;
* aggressive, competitive, and impatient;
* driven with a chronic sense of time pressure and an inability to relax;
* controlling of themselves, others, and situations;
* indirect in their expression of anger although an apparent undercurrent of hostility is often present;
* often inclined to hoard money and other possessions;
* preoccupied with orderliness, neatness, and cleanliness; and
* inflexible and stubborn in relationships.

I don't know about you...but these symptoms remind me of more than one character mine have run across. OH wait! Some were mine!

Sounds like a description of dragons! (except for the inability to relax part)

You've been in a relationship with a dragon?

You've been in a relationship with a dragon?

I'm saying that they are stubborn in relationships, not that they were stubborn in a relationship with me. Though I was thinking more about the stubborn part than the relationship part. But who knows...
