this could simply be a just a slight case of acute paranoia, it could be your body reacting to a recent traumatizing event or the fear that someone is out to get you, dont worry to much because it could also just be that your stressed out to much and need to find something to do to calm down. if your home alone a lot maybe your just a type a person that needs someone there with you, getting a pet could help.

Ever heard of OCD? - What your describing sounds like a classic example. Do some research, these kinds of thought patterns are largely due to a serotonin deficiency. Copy this URL in to your browser http://www.ocduk.org/

This is definitely OCD. (obsessive compulsive disorder)
Do some research on it and I would consider therapy if it worsens.

i have SO many weird habits/quirks

1)when one hand gets wet or touches water i HAVE to get my other hand wet IMMEDIATELY. or else it makes me nauseous.

2)i have to do everything on the left first, or i re-do it. like i have to put my left shoe on first. if i do the right first by accident, i take the shoe off and do the left one.

3)i have to click pens three times before i use them

4)i have to get in bed on the left side and get out on the right.

5)i have to tear the label of every bottled drink i have.

6)everytime i get to the top of the stairs i clap

7)when rooms are perfectly quiet i click my tongue.

THE LIST GOES ON.
im not obsessive compulsive. everyone has weird things they do. its normal. youre fine.

Ummm no pidgeonshaveAID that isn't normal.
It sounds like OCD to me. if u don't believe me, ask a phsyciatrist.
and to the person who wrote this- u probably do too.
