I know I'm OCD about lots of things in my life. I don't know, I just do many things that happen way too often. For example, before I go to bed, I usually look at the ceiling and I have to look at the four corners of the ceiling. I know I sound super weird right now, but it's just something I do. I don't know why I do it, I just tend to look at those spots. And if I'm about to fall asleep and I don't remember I did it, I quickly get up from my sleep and look at it. It's not that bad, which is why I don't seek professional help or anything from people in the medical field. I can live with it. It's sad for those people who are really obsessive about washing their hands or something!

Yeah, as she said it's obsessive compulsive disorder. It's kind of what you described, like a habitual behavior. That's really weird that you do it. I've never heard of anyone do that before.

i didn't even notice i do, until my girlfriend pointed it out. She asked why do i always take everything out of her hand when i talk, because i had just took the ketchup bottle she was fidgeting with and put it in my lap while we sat in the cafeteria.

When I was a little girl i was OCD about my hair falling out. Not that I worry that I am getting bald but that the hair that fell would be alone and if I were on the bus, there it would stay all alone without its mummy. I would get all sad about it.
I am glad I have grown out of it. I think its due to my over imagination.

I used to be scared about my hair falling out too! I would just rub my hair, and I'd see all these pieces all over my hand, and I'd be super scared. And sometimes I'd just keep rubbing my head and rubbing it but there'd always be hair!

Hmm...When I do something I will check for it a few times whether I did it in correct way or not. Like when I closing the tap. After a few seconds I will come and check whether I really closing it or not. I will doing it several times until satisfied that I really did close it. Something like that. Or I always feel that I forget something and I will check again and again that I already have everything I need. And there are many more~ But it is not as serious as you may thought as I don't think it mess up my life.
