I've been doing this nonstop since September. I would have countdowns for slight things in my life. Like taking a piss. Start at 15 if I finish before 15 do A if I don't do B. Counting down for everything like how fast I walk from point to point over a distance and determining my future based on slight things like that.

Anyone else do that or is it just me? Anyone else here just count things in general?

Eh No. But you've never found yourself counting random things or having countdowns to events?

You currently have two (2) options.

Either (A) kill yourself.

Or (B), umm uhhhh

Okay one (1) option.

I still haven't figured out why you are here. You generally don't contribute anything and you are uninteresting. Personally I don't like you, which is odd because I find a certain beauty and depth to everyone but you lack either.

Not counting no, but I have a bastard habit of putting things into lists - mental and physical.

Sometimes if I know I have a busy day coming up ahead, I find it easier to manage and deal with if I create a sort of 'to do' list or itinerary. I kinda see it as a cathartic way of getting stressful situations and events out of my head and onto paper in a more manageable and condensed way. As for compulsively counting and timing everything... "seek help".

Sometimes.

But instead of deciding what I'll do based on something, I usually imagine what will happen.

I know whatever I'm thinking of at that moment probably won't happen, but I do it anyways...

Kinda like "If I step on that sidewalk crack, it will rain tomorrow."

No, but lately I've taken to timing how long I spend having a shit.

I average 40 seconds before my first bit of crap hits the water, I think I spend about 6 minutes on average, however I had one anomally, 2 mins 12 seconds to finish wiping and everything.

I have a terrible OCD against unorganized cables.

I was at my friends house for Rockband and dinner, and they haven't played Rockband in months, so the mic cable was a tangled mess, without even noticing, I grabbed it and expertly untangled and straightened it out in like 2 minutes.(Stagecraft really pays off )

Same on stage, at one point, we were 5 minutes from a show opening doors, and I was supposed to be in the booth doing running pre-checks, instead i was backstage untanging Mic cables that had nothing to do with anything. with that show.

lol you remind me of Stewie

@OP when i was little i used to do little tests e.g. shooting something into a dustbin. Before hand i would say if i made it i would do well on a test etc. Just superstition

Yeah I have a planner/diary thing where I record even trivial things that need to be done in case I forget. If I'm at home I have a notepack document on my desktop which is constantly updated as I get through the day.

@Macbeth, sounds like some delicious ocd you got there. Try becoming compulsively obsessed with getting rid of your ocd i.e. every time you start counting you have to slap yourself really hard

you need to get a new hobby then

as for macbeth, sorry if I offended you, but you do need some help. no one in their right mind would do such a thing? I'm curious, what are you going to gain from this experiment?

Doesn't make sense to me on what you're trying to prove or learn from this. There could be some possibilities on why you're doing this, and I'll add a few and you can decide whether it's true and not. No lying either, ok then, let's start.

Did something happen in your life, like doing terrible things? drugs & alcohol? abuse mentally or physically or both? declining in social life?

Also how are things between your mom and dad?

Are you doing in well in school, if not, why?

If some of these apply to you, you can answer with a yes or no question, or even explain if you answered yes to any of these questions.

If you do that constantly it could be that you are trying to alleviate yourself from all accountability regarding decision-making. That way if something doesn't go the way you want you can blame it on your arbitrary countdown system instead of taking responsibility. Depending on how much you do this and for what types of decisions, you may want to take an introspective look at why you don't want that accountability.
