For years myself and my friends have noticed that I have displayed small idiosyncrasies about certain things in my life. Over the past ten years these idiosyncrasies have transformed more into obsessions that I can't seem to break. My family sees me do these odd things, like check three or four times to make sure that I've turned something off, or put the cover back on something, and they are used to it. But when others notice, I laugh and say "Oh, that's just my touch of OCD" and they laugh, and all is forgotten. I know it's not a laughing matter to those that suffer greatly from this disorder, but it is my way of taking the attention off myself. Honestly, they think I am making a joke , but in reality it's the truth. I do believe that I have a "touch of OCD" and here are some examples why.
Some examples of OCD would work, though you won't be giving examples why--just simply examples of the disorder playing out in your life.
