Do you have obsessive-compulsive tendencies? If so, what are they? I have this OC tendency to keep checking on the door if it's locked before I go to sleep. Then I tend to get up and try to make sure if I had indeed locked it.
If your house had been broken in before, it would make sense to keep checking. However, I just think that some obsessive-compulsive behaviours are just there for no reason at all or for reasons untraceable at least, like you can't remember how you came to act that way.
Even when I go to work in the morning, I like to follow the same routine of opening this certain website, the email inbox for work, the messenger to communicate with clients, the online dictionary, etc. They pretty much have to be in that order or I'd feel uncomfortable throughout the day.
I know it's funny and weird. But I swear I am not the only one. Speak up whoever you are! Lol.

i am always washing my hands. people around me don't and it bugs me. they think i'm obsessive but i don't want to pass germs when handling clean clothes from the washer or dryer. and especially when handling food. thing is i wash my hands and the faucet knob too cause if you're hands are dirty when you turn the faucet on and then you wash your hand and touch the germs on the faucet then your hands are dirty again. most people don't wash the knobs. it bugs me not to.

Faucet knobs too aren't always that clean. I usually pour liquid soap and water on it too. Haha.

we think alike, i think door knobs are dirty too. anything peoples hands touch is germy, because most people don't wash their hands after using the restroom.

I have several habits.
One of the biggest ones is probably my tendency to have to do everything right side first. I have to enter doorways with my right foot first, put my right shoe on first etc. It's frustrating but it feels too weird to do it the other way!

I do the same thing sometimes. People who pass me by think I'm weird.

[b]I knew the feeling of keep doing the same thing
over and over again even if it's not necessary.
You do the certain thing but you are not still
satisfied. It's a feeling of uncertaintess that
makes us do the same thing five times. You are
not alone.[/b]
