If this guy is really interested in making love work for him he might consider trying to get treatment for his OCD and other neuroses. But my guess is that he has out right refused treatment. Again, this is just my guess, obviously I don't know. But I do know other people personally who have OCD and they think that their neurotic behavior somehow makes them special, that it is cute. Well, it might be cute. At first. But try living with it day in and day out, month in and month out, year in and year out. It gets old real fast. And the fact that the OCD "sufferer" is completely unapologetic and also completely unwilling to get any professional help makes matters even worse. I noticed some of these same attitudes in this poet. Such as when he said something to the effect of he hates that the new guy will only kiss her once even if it's not perfect. As if only his OCD behavior is good enough. Well, OCD behavior is not good. Not even a little. It's not normal and it requires treatment. I have OCD along with depression. I've been in treatment for many years and while it's not perfect it has been very helpful. But I have watched some other members of my extended family put their parents or significant others through sheer, unadulterated hell with their unapologetic OCD behavior. He is a talented poet. I hope he gets the help he needs.
This poem is beautifully written but what about this girl? Why is she the bad guy in this? The villian? She put herself before someone else for her own good. I understands this guy loves her, but how can people sit and say she was wrong to leave?
Edit: This comment is in response to some of the other negative comments in this video regarding people blaming the woman, not about Neil Hilborn making her out in a negative way. Sorry for any misunderstandings regarding this.
This is ........ very strong and passionate. I don' know how to put it in words. But..... being obsessed to this extend, it's ........ I mean the woman he loves
What am I talking about????? To love and be loved are the most lovely gift one can ever get from life. But.... how long can this last? It is at this very moment he express his feelings, this gentleman is so passionate, so sure of his love, soooooo.... but what about a year later?
Haha too bad guy's like these are called creepy/weird or obsessive. :O I don't mean people with OCD btw just people that love instead of the ones that just fuck.
My OCD is very mild, I only count my steps, move my fingers a lot, count the vowels in the words and look for those with all five vowels, and often I repeat my sentences twice or thrice... but I can still understand it.
i am such a fan of his but i really don't know that much about him. does he have ocd himself? or is he just portraying it and just he's so awesome! and this is so powerful.

This isn't fictional. My family knows his family.

He loves her so...
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful. I cried so much D:
ReplyDeleteIs it bad that the first time he explained his OCD, I kinda giggled? idk I
found it so cute! ^-^
My great aunt seems to be developing a little bit of OCD, but it's not that
ReplyDeleteextreme. Although it's still very annoying to me.
every woman deserves a guy to love them as much as he loved her.
