...no. He's still tolerating it. He never initiates it. Amy has to coax it out of him.

as for possibility, yeah...I don't see it. He's still "ewwww" to all of that, even now.

Though that isn't as bad as what she tried to do a few episodes ago, Apparently she sees his OCD as a hindrance that needs to be fixed, so she tried to "train" him out of it by making him start things, but not allow him to finish them.

I have NEVER see him so angry. He wished she were dead!! That's inspiring for a growing relationship. *rolls eyes*

...OCD is a hindrance that needs to be fixed when it's the actual condition and not people saying they're OCD as code for perfectionist. It's actually really debilitating to be a counter or something.

(I don't watch BBT, so I have no idea what Sheldon has. But fixing OCD is a good thing, even if it looks like the show handled it poorly.)

Ssssh. Crippling mental conditions that make people unhappy are part of what makes someone special and should be treasured.

Except, in Sheldon's case, it's not. All he does? He does a special knock on doors "Knock x3 [name], knock x3 [name], knock x3 [name.]" If he hears a song or a quote or whatever and it doesn't get finished, he finishes it. If he's talking to someone and they cut off what they're saying, deliberately or because they get distracted, he waits until they finish it or get frustrated when they don't.

It doesn't hinder him. And he never asked for ANY kind of help in fixing that. Amy took it upon herself to fix him, against his permission and wishes, because SHE, as a neurobiologist, knows better than he does. He who has been living like that all his life and is comfortable with that.

THAT'S what I had an issue with and why I agreed and cheered when he got angry and said he'd "wished she were dead." She was trying to change a part fo him that just is, something that, at this point, does NOT need to be fixed. But it makes him imperfect and she can't have that. B/

and In general, I disagree about OCD needing to be fixed. For certain OCD traits, possibly, but something like what Sheldon has? No. I do not agree. It's case by case and some people may benefit while others may not.

He faked other people's identities in order to harass writers of a cancelled show to keep it on air, for christ's sake!

No one cares if Sheldon is comfortable with that. His obsessive need for closure makes everyone else uncomfortable. That's the reason why it needs to be fixed. The world doesn't revolve around people with mental issues and other people aren't there to care for their comfort at the cost of their own.

I don't give a shit if it makes other people angry. If HE'S fine with how he is, then no one needs to butt into his business. Is he HARMING them? No? then fuck off. And Amy needs to fuck off.

The anon above said "...OCD is a hindrance that needs to be fixed when it's the actual condition and not people saying they're OCD as code for perfectionist." Clearly, Sheldon isn't suffering from OCD, and Amy is just a jerk.

You essentially agreed with me, except that he does have OCD. He's just comfortable with it, where she is not and needs to STFU about it and take him for what he is.
