Fear of numbers ending in one/1?

Post Reply New Topic

For some reason, every time I see a typed or written {any} number that ends in 1, I get upset looking at it and need to get rid of it. For example, if I am following 131 people on Twitter, I will have to either scour for more people (at least one but preferably 4 or 9 so it ends in 5 or 0 which are my favorite numbers) or find someone to unfollow to make it 130, for example. Or, God forbid I find multiple inactive accounts and end up with a 1 again, I will scream. Also, I tended in the past to update tweets or blog posts excessively in order to reach a specific, aesthetically pleasing number of posts, and I also tend to update blog posts in excess to make a certain post line up in a certain spot on the page, or for a certain disliked post that was added for numerical purposes to "dissapear", etc.

I'm sry to hear about how this upsets you.

Could be OCD-related, I suppose.

I have a fear of odd numbers and have OCD.
