Cleanliness and AS

Post Reply New Topic

How tidy is your living place? Work desk? etc.

I'm pretty messy and let things reach an extreme level of untidyness, then clean up to an extreme level of cleanliness, and the cycle repeats.

I clean my house every week on the same day and absolutely nothing and nobody can come between that. I don't even pick up the phone whilst cleaning because I have to be finished before I'm able to do something else. It's that way with all the things that I do. I have to finish something (preferably without interruptions) before I can concentrate on another task.

The only thing that I don't like to do is the dishes. I hate doing the dishes and my kitchen sink doesn't always look clean and tidy, which annoys me tremendously but apparantly not enough to do something about it on a daily basis.

By the way; why is the phrase "Tufted Titmouse" placed underneath my nick? I don't like it!

My room here is almost as messy as my mind!

I am mess personified.

Mine goes in phases too. For a week or two I'm Miss Clean and then it all goes to the tube for awhile. Then, when I get energy again, I'll clean... and the cycle repeats itself. I would love it for my environment to stay clean and neat. It just doesn't seem all that possible sometimes. I'll get overwhelmed for awhile and nothing gets done.

My things are generally all over the place, but in a way that I understand. It bothers me when someone moves something, believing they are organizing or putting something back in its place, making me unable to find whatever it was when I need it. Certain things are also placed in certain ways so that I can tell if they have been tampered with.

I'm very tidy and neatly organised.

I was extremely messy as a kid.

I spent approximately 5 to 8 hours tidying up my room together with my parents before. It was torture. I was completely incapable of tidying up a large space because of my ADHD and autism. I remember that later, I claimed that keeping things in order would take too much time.

That's pretty ridiculous to me now. Keeping things in order always takes up no time! At one point I wondered whether not being surrounded by a chaotic mess might be cosy and then I went to great lengths to acquire a sense or order and learn how to keep my things organised and clean all the time. And yes, it really is much more comfortable to me this way.

So these days, this place is neat and clean to the point that I don't need to do anything about it before guests arrive.

I am very obsessed with cleanliness and organization. My place looks like a photo from a home magazine. This obsession carries over into just about every other area of my life.

Personally, I'd be scared of living in a tidy, organized, regimented, picture perfect place.

There'd be nothing to DO! I'd be too afraid of starting a mess to even draw out a book or watch a video!

I'm pretty neat and clean. I don't have a lot of stuff, so it's easy to keep everything organized. It soothes my mind when my things are orderly.

I'm not a clean and neat person in general, though I like order and cleanliness. I was more organized as a child, I wonder sometimes if there is some kind of illness, chronic fatigue perhaps, that holds me back.

I practically hate every bit of cleaning apart from caring for myself, doing the dishes, and washing my clothes. My apartment sometimes cries for cleaning to the point I feel ashamed of it. I also go through cycles, but my cycles are rather long, they can be months.

I'm not a perfectionist when it comes to cleaning, still, when I do something I like to see that part excellently done. Is this secondary perfectionism? "At least this or that part I have done well", I would say to myself. According to THIS article it is worse than primary perfectionism.

At the beginning of the week: mostly clean and organized.
At the end of the week: a total mess.

It's Saturday, so my room is a mess right now. I'll clean everything up tomorrow.

My room is clean, i can't stand for something to be out of place.
