Am I the only one who hates when people who don't have OCD say they have OCD?

Question

I ACTUALLY have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and I get angry when people in school are in a situation where the one thing that bothers them like that pops up and they say "I'm like maaad OCD!" It's just so annoying because they have no idea the inconvenience, fear, and embarrassment that it causes. I have a good sense of humor, but these idiots aren't joking when they say it. I really think that they believe, in their misinformed minds, that they have this disorder. To me, it's the equivalent of getting a slightly sore throat, then saying seriously, "I have mono." Is anyone else bothered by this or am I alone here?

Answer 1

I know what you are talking about, they are idiots.

Answer 2

Maybe since they have the "symptoms" they think they have it..
