Closure denial - the big bang theory has me thinking

mouse2

Does anyone else have issues with closure? I need to have closure or I think about it obsessively and it feels like I want to crawl out of my skin. This could be closure from conversations or situations or anything really. 

This just came up on the bug bang with sheldon.he described it similar to me! It feels like I want to crawl out of my skin! 

I need to get past this but it's so hard

    I know it's a comical version of life but theres also relatable elements to sheldon character. For instance, he knocks 3 times before entering a room. If interrupted hes compelled to continue the ritual. I used to do this but with the light switch. It had to go on and off 4 times before entering any room. I was thought to have OCD as a teen because of this. I didnt realise until researching that people with asd can also do this. Sheldon has a need for routine too. Yes it changes sometimes but his need is there. His submersion into his subject (science) he gets completly lost in the subject hes working on. His trouble with understanding social rules and concepts is apparent through the show. Theres so much more relatable content. Anyway it's a nice, easy watch for me :)
