i wash dishes slowly !

i never actually noticed how slow i do the dishes (my favourite chore btw which is why i keep writing about it) till i was in the vicinity of my mum washing the dishes a few days ago and making a comment/observation/joke about how fast she finished, to which she replied that it was because she doesn't have ocd like me.

it's becoming more commonplace for my family members to notice and be aware that i take longer for these types of things. it used to be that either no one noticed or i hid it well enough to seem normal, because previously, i used to just suppress my compulsions when i was around other people because i was embarrassed of performing my rituals in other people's eyes
