"PC OCD"

Hi. This is a bit off an odd topic, but here we go... 

 

I am very happy with my PC setup however... I just can't seem to relax and be satisfied with what I have! Even when I know in the back of my head that everything is setup perfect and I just need to enjoy it, I constantly mess with settings, file structure, installing/uninstalling things etc... I even get off my seat to see if my monitors are straight and my keyboard, mouse pad etc are all lined up "correctly". This has been going on for a long time and it is really starting to annoy me. Does anyone else have this issue? How can I get passed it? Thanks for any responses, #GeekPsychologists!

Well if you are never satisfied, why not be adventurous?

OCD can be defeated, focus on another project can help stop it.

It's called being a PC enthusiast. Nothing is ever enough. Nothing will ever be perfect enough. The best we can do is get as close to perfection as our wallets will allow :(

Haha I guess. But this thing with changing random control panel settings and moving files is just ridiculous! I really wish I could stop.
