Every coaster someone moves, every chair that is dragged from the dining room into the living room, every minor adjustment is mentally noted. The second we say goodnight and close the door, I press the reset button—every little item goes back to what I consider its proper position.
That's going a lot further than merely being introverted. It sounds like OCPD. Is there anything wrong with that? Not really, unless it impedes on what you want to do and get out of life. There's no need to justify it.
I think perhaps I should rephrase that section to sound less extreme. It sounds like I'm sitting there with my eye-twitching, watching every little movement. While I do NOTICE minor changes, I shouldn't say that I notice them ALL, and I certainly do not fixate on them. I'm just the type of person that needs to clean up after someone leaves.
I understand, but there are plenty of experiences I know I will enjoy with my girlfriend and a few close friends. I plan on traveling the world and seeing great works of art.

You can't ever get that time or those experiences back. Once you are old, there is no rewind.
