- Feelings of intense anger, shame and humiliation associated with having one's worldview or aspects of one's worldview publicly shown to be in error. Among COCD suffers these three feelings often spiral out of control and often reinforce each other. Western atheists who have doubts about atheism and evolution are the most frequent suffers of COCD (see: Atheists doubting the validity of atheism). In addition, gullible liberals who had fervently believed that Barack Obama and the "stimulus package" would bring about "hope and change" are more likely to be afflicted with COCD.
- Flying into a fury when atheism is associated with clowns or when it is pointed out that the Richard Dawkins and the atheist community most certainly lacks machismo.
- Being upset that you have various trigger words and phrases that remind you of Conservapedia such as machismo, North Dakota and Olé! Olé! Olé!.
- Spending long periods watching or meticulously pouring over the Conservapedia recent edit summary. Individuals afflicted with COCD often review Conservapedia's recent edit summary more than many Conservapedia administrators.
- Excessive preoccupation with discussing Conservapedia which often involves discussing the most trifling of details.
- Begrudging conservative homeschoolers and conservative children at large to have a fun page provided for them that spoofs evolutionism.
- Obsessing over the total web page views of Conservapedia
- Engaging in endless speculation concerning various administrators and editors of Conservapedia.
- Repeated and frequent proclamations that Conservapedia's death is imminent
- Feelings of anger and resentment when the many medical maladies associated with homosexuality are pointed out through the medical literature.
