Because you are quite mentally healthy
  (contrary to impressions here :)

There is virtually nothing in the DSM that is entirely
unhealthy.  A certain amount of paranoia, selfishness, etc.
is necessary in  well balanced personality.  It is only when
multiple symptoms reach rather extreme and debilitating levels
that a disorder or personality disorder can be diagnosed.

Going back to check if you locked the door once or twice
is not Obsessive-Compulsive.  Doing it half-a-dozen or
more times straight in a row _might_ be.


Well. I am a compulsive poster. But none of them said anything about that.


IOW:  subclinical == b#llsh!t
