I’m not OCD or anything but here’s what my claps mean

it means I like what you’ve written but also…

Here are some ducks getting ready to pull into a parking space, which has nothing to do with medium or claps but who cares, right?

The number of claps I give will typically range from 1–9 or if I really like something then add 10 to one of those numbers. And it’s not because I am obsessive about anything. Yes, I will typically transfer odd dollar amounts into my savings so my checking account is even. That doesn’t mean anything. It’s true that I repeat this behavior in other ways with other things in my life but so long as there’s never been a clear diagnosis, I’m going to stick with the fact that these things are normal human behavior. So if I give you 4 claps (or 14 claps), it’s because you had some number ending in 6 and I took it upon myself to save you the discomfort of having an odd number of claps. You’re welcome.
