It all depends on the severity of the disorder from person to person.

OCD can effect your life in many ways. There are a lot of OCD episodes out there so it maybe difficult to be specific.

Hmmm... I think it effects your social life because you're spending more time cleaning things and straightening things up than you are socializing with other people. It doesn't effect your ego, though.
