Do you think Twilight has OCD?

[Le Kvlt Dawn 2,364]

So I just watched "Lesson Zero" and she got really worried about her letter. In the second half of the episode I though she went completely insane. Especially the part with the Smarty Pants doll and the cutie mark crusaders.

[My little pwny 1,392]

I knew she was OCD even before I saw that episode. In my opinion its pretty cute. She always has to have everything organized and "do things by the book." Part of the reason I wish ponies were real is so Twilight could help me organize my room....

[morethanicecream 116]

Eeyup. I think so. Sometimes she does have it, other times she does not. I don't know, one episode makes her have OCD, other episodes not. She is sort of bipolar in a sense.

[Spring Storm 276]

I think she definitely has it, at least a mild to moderate case of it. Not enough for it to control her entire life, but enough that it can make her crazy at times.

[termenchecks 146]

she's always looking for perfection in stuff so yeah, she deffineaeieteley has obsessive-compulsive disorder.

[Proctra Music 335]

Ah yesh. It's basically one of her traits, every thing she does relates it to organization and for the most part completely controlled...

[NavelColt 22,881]

. No. Not OCD in the slightest. All you silly fillies have been out in the sun too long, and should be inside, working on your checklists like Twilight Not OCD Sparkle.

 

Also, this is very much relevant to this topic's interests.

Yessuree! When she was 'fixing' the icing on those cupcakes in 'Lesson Zero', she kinda over did it. I believe she's a perfectionist too.

[Glaceon 793]

I find Twilight's OCD cute. It makes her who she is and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Epic picture.

 

That picture.......

[shotoku 47]

Yeah she has OCD most definitely.

Pinkie Pie is terrible though. With all that MPD, paranoia, bipolar, schizophrenia going on I'm suprised Pinkie can live a normal life. Well, pinkie pie-normal.

 

But yes I love the episode where she starts freaking out because she didn't leave enough time on her calendar to plan to make the next calendar

[Hinosuke 2]

I don't think anyone could even come up with a perfectly good legitimate reason to say she DIDN'T have OCD

 

It did make for a pretty hilarious episode.

[Brook 663]

I would say yes, she seems very much like people with OCD.

 

Just so people know, OCD means Obssesive Compulsive Disorder, as you know she can be very obssesive, and compulsive.

 

So yes, she does in my opinion, but nothing is cannon so we can't actually know.

[Ion 279]

Her obsessive behaviour does seem to indicate that she has it, but I doubt the writers would ever explicitly say she has it. They'll just have her freak out more.

Of course Twilight is OCD :3 it is what makes her character! She is a awesome character smart, kind, funny, and caring of others.

 

Lesson zero had me laughing all the way through the episode xD gotta love twilight.

[XUNUSEDXXX 3,459]

Yeah, I noticed that too. I like her OCD though, it makes her part of who she is, an overly organized pony

[Jalaton 155]

Yeah I think she does have OCD because of how she has to have everything organized and in her schedule.

[rcollinz13 428]

Twilight isn't OCD, she's CDO. Because she has to put things in alphabetical order, it makes sense this way.

[EpicMuffinTime 216]

Watch, Lesson Zero...it should answer your question, and that answer is...(suuuuspeeeeeeennnnssseeee) yes...

[000 206]

Well of course she is! I mean think about it! Why would anyone need to spell their name so much.

 

She also infected a lot of her friends. Poor ponies.

[Regality 233]

Yes, judging by her behavior in episodes such as Lesson Zero, I think it's pretty certain. It's not all bad though, if she wasn't so OCD, her planning and organizational skills might not have existed, which have proven helpful in the past. She also might not be as skilled at magic if it weren't for her "problem".

@@~Chaotic Discord~, Someone beat me to posting that picture I see. I laughed incredibly hard when I first saw that pic. Lesson Zero and It's About Time are two of my favorite episodes of MLP, and Twilight is insanely awesome in both of them. Edited August 25, 2012 by Infinite Sky

[EWAN 31]

From what I have seen, I would have to say yes, she has OCD. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. (in my opinion)

[pinkiefan1287 610]

Twilight definitely has OCD. She has a list for everything. Like what she needs to do, then makes a list to make sure she does a list, she also has a list for sleep overs.

[SBaby 660]

Oh yeah. She definitely has OCD. Every character in this show has exactly one major flaw to them. One of the members on this site did a pretty detailed psychological analysis on the mane 6 awhile back, and it hit the nail on the head for the most part.

 

The flaws are one of the reasons why the characters work so well together.

[Nah 3,182]

Yes, she is OCD, everything has to be the way she wants its, everything must be perfect! This thread first off reminds me of Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory. After watching that for a few months, I've compared him and Twilight with their habits. Example, Twilight likes being organized and having a daily schedule of writing a letter to Celestia. Sheldon has a schedule of what to eat each day and what will happen each day.
