I cut it in a certain shape. Like, I can't explain why. I have OCD, but it's not that. I literally do it constantly when I'm home. When I'm doing it, I just like think of ideas or things that or cool, like movies I make in my head, plans to do cool things. It's really distracting and I can't live without doing it. I've gone a few days without doing it, but without it, i get bored out of my mind. There's is literally scraps of paper scattered all over my house. I'm beginning to just tear apart the piece of paper if its not the right shape or is slightly bent. It makes me feel uncomfortable doing it even around my own family. I completely zone out of my surroundings when I do it. I've been doing it since age 6. I don't think I'll ever stop. Is this even slightly normal? I think I'm autistic or something.

    It sounds like you might want to be some type of artist perhaps, try drawing, get molding clay try making something, painting. I see nothing wrong with it, don't beat your self up too much about it :P

    You said that you think of creative ideas when you tear the paper, so I think it's just a part of your creative process. I always come up with my best ideas when I pace or run in circles while listening to music. People think it's weird but I don't care. Creative people are allowed to be a little eccentric. ;)

    You should become a artist. There are quite a few talented people that work specifically with paper.
