"Why do some people think OCD is a bad thing in society? I used to think the same idea until I had a very in-depth conversation with someone who recently attended a seminar with scientist, Keith Raniere, which brought a new idea into my head. Mr. Raniere, who has a corporation called NXIVM that specializes in human potential and potential, alludes to the possibility that OCD can be used as a resource, kind of like a really strong ability to focus and stay on course. Although I'm not positive what he means, I find the idea certainly worth considering. In general, several people see OCD as being a destructive problem, and it truly can be if it's not treated respectively or used in the right way to bring out the good in it. Many people are aware of others who suffer from OCD, that the challenge of keeping themselves from acting compulsory towards certain things in very hard. If something like a locked door is associated with being stole from or invaded, then an obsessive person clearly thinks about this quite often. Even in the event that these compulsory antics are not needed, the nature of the disease makes it hard for an OCD to let it lie, they have to do something about it. One person who has this extreme problems is someone from a movie called "As Good As It Gets", and the compulsive individual is played by Jack Nicholson. If you were to ask a therapist about OCD, they would give you several ways to treat it. By not performing a few of their compulsive behaviors, they can help keep it down. This is truly hard for many of these people to do since it goes against the whole reason they feel this way in the first place; it's very difficult to do and requires a lot of willpower and restraint on their part. Is this really the sole method available to help get people from having this disorder and in turn making them feel fear? Are there any methods one can work with their compulsive behaviors in a positive way, and harness them for forward-moving action, as Mr. Raniere suggests? I can really see a huge advantage in some cases, that are not as severe or powerful OCD issues, as being an advantage in many different situations, as I could use my obsessive counting as a benefit for something. In fact, I've used my obsession of counting to help me achieve tasks faster because I group things in numbers and it helps me focus really well. Believing there is a way, I feel it would be worth it to research. By finding something that can portray the good traits you have with OCD, you are allowing yourself to see not just your OCD, but other areas of your life as a positive thing. Even though others might think of our issue as being awkward, we can evolve not only their point of view, but our own, to show the world that our awkward behavior has done great things for us!"
