Folding Paper

[Printer989]

I have this obsessive compulsion of folding paper. Can anyone tell me what this is or what it means?

....still can't believe there are people who do same odd thing.     And yes thereally are certain types of paper (especially magazine)that are especially pleasing to fold/fluff/ what have you.

I do the EXACT same thing! Good quality magazines are the best!
I also noticed that there is little information about this online but happy to learn I'm not alone. I have an appointment with a behavioral therapist on Dec 28th and this is one of the issues I'm going to address with her. I will keep you all apprised :)

I have this too! I was searching information about it to see if it's a mental disorder or something and came across this. I can't find any info on it. Was wondering if you have yet.? It's like I black out when I have a piece of paper in my hand and when I've folded it all I could I see this folded up paper in my hand. It kinda scares me.

I have the same problem..my mother just thinks I'm weird. It's nice to know I'm not the only one!

i have that as well! I am really wondering what the heck that's all about. It's hard to find info on this topic.  Whenever you google "paper" and "OCD" .. obviously you just get a lot of research papers about OCD in general!!! help!

I dunno but I have almost the same habit.  Except I fluff magazines and any kind of paper.  

Get a magazine around me and it will go frrom thin to two times thicker in about a half hour.
