Dear all,
I'm wondering whether anyone here has OCD about social events? And whether that is similar or different to social anxiety?

Not sure what you mean by OCD about social events. You can have OCD and not have social anxiety, and you can have anxiety and not be OCD at all.

I have both OCD and social anxiety. They are two different things. I'm not sure what "OCD about social events" means.
