Preoccupation with Exactness
Another possible sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder is an excessive preoccupation with preciseness, order, or symmetry. These people need a process to be completed right and everything should be arranged correctly in their room. Thus, they might develop very accurate methods of aligning, arranging, or handling objects and do them in a ritualized way. When something is out of order, they might panic and get terrified. As a result, people with obsessive-compulsive disorder might have difficulty focusing on schoolwork due to overwhelming preoccupation with those things. [4]
