I am totally with you here. I went in at fifteen, too. For years I would just beat things to death. Sometimes my wife just won't respond to something I can't let go of, and that's my cue that I might be getting a little annoying with the analytical.
And I hate it too when I think someone has a problem with me. I take it personally instead of thinking that their problem is THEIR problem. This has been very problematic in past relationships.
Something that I definately feel I took away from straight is OCD. Actually I remember when it began, and it was my response to all the rules and the hypervigilance. An attempt at control in an environment where I had zero control...couldn't even use the bathroom by myself. Had to ask for every bite of food, every square of toilet paper.
I have noted that alot of these problems (including depression) have been helped with SSRIs. That's not for everyone, though.
