To be "obsessive" refers to something that is done repeatedly, and habitually. Someone who washes their hands, 5x in an hour, every hour, everyday, then they have OCD. I believe you have OCD when your obsession corrupts your everday life. When ordinary operations take more time and effort, you're considered obsessive. However, it is a mindset that can be altered. It's curable, but it takes determination and desire to change. A process similar to smoking or overeating. I don't believe you are born with it because the youth don't seem to be victoms. Also, it's difficult to determine who is obsessive when we are a culturally oriented soceity where beauty and perfection scream at us left and right.
