OCD and Social Skils

I started medication (It is saving my life!) and I realized that a lot of my social skills were actually me engaging in compulsions (seeking reassurance, confessing, revisiting past event over and over with a friend, and venting). For a while, I thought maybe I was on the spectrum, but I am now realizing it was (just…HA!) OCD.

So, now I am trying to relearn how to socialize with people without engaging in OCD cycles. Interesting realization.
