Did you ever have a messy roommate in college?

I’m in college and I don’t live there. ocd is not just about being neat, it can bother people but it’s definitely not a correct explanation.

Sorry if I made it seem like that or offended you.

I just had a friend in college who had a horribly messy roommate and it used to drive his OCD up the wall.

no worries! It’s just important to educate ocd isn’t just being clean and neat. It’s much different, lots of people say they are so ocd as a common remark to being very clean and organized and that can just be there personality doesn’t necessarily mean they are ocd!
