Discussion Any of y'all relate having to do stuff certain even number amounts of times or it's annoying?

[wishicouldascend]

for a decent amount of stuff I do I have to do it certain numbers of times or it'll be pretty annoying, started some years ago when I was being stupid and wanted a reason to waste time I guess so was like "if I do this 10 times It'll give good luck" and now stuck with that kinda or it'll be annoying, stuff like scrolling certain number, tapping finger, moving hair out the way, even how much squares toilet paper used. Numbers brain wants are most times 6, 10, 16, 18, 20, and very occasionally 2 or 3.
anybody relate, cant really stop wasting time to make sure its correct number now or I'll think of it for the next few hours or for most things just think of it till I do it again the number that felt correct out of them.

tldr: what the title says

plus usually gotta check the time to make sure it's a satisfactory enough even number time before going to sleep forgot to add

if I don't do something a certain number times in a row, usually 6 or 16 its annoying

that makes sense!!
but i would just like to warn u ....
i had very like non-severe OCD up until 16, i just had minor compulsions sometimes and then when i was 16 my brain decided to latch on to a theme. themed OCD is really REALLY horrible and could happen anytime, so if ur comfortable with medication i would suggest getting on OCD specific meds just in case! i worked it out on my own without meds but My God i wouldn't wish that on anyone
obviously my experience isn't everyones but i've heard that it has happened to a bunch of people!
