I have to touch things twice
20% Normal
11 Comments

For a few years now I have had to touch everyrhing evenly and fairly. for example, if i hold my TV remote in my right hand and change the channel to say, 3, i must then put it down pick it up with my left and although im now on channel 3, i have to mirror what i did before. I simply cant stop it, i once told my girlfriend about it and she said to touch her arm with my right hand and then shed leave. When she came back 10 mins later i was shaking and almost bruised her arm when i put too much enthusiasm into touching her arm with my left hand. I want to know what the f*** i have and if anybody else suffers from it please.
Do you think it's normal?

I used to have this exact problem, I would have to do things equally with my left and right arms and legs. Sometimes it was even more than twice, maybe four or eight times overall! BUT I think it was just a weird phase, I haven't done it for years because I told myself it was stupid and a waste of time. I think I still have mild OCD: if I'm particularly worried about something I start having to touch things a certain amount of times etc., but I always tell myself to stop it. You have to try to be strict with yourself, building it up until its evetually not an issue anymore.

Yeps, sounds like OCD. I used to have it and I kept washing hands and switching lights on and off 3 times whenever I entered a room! Maybe you should see your doctor?

I some times have this, but not as much as you. For example i have to go to sleep on an postive time eg. 12.20 i cant go to sleep if its 12.21 for some reason it has to be postive numbers. But sometimes i think to my self why the fuck am i doing this, and so i crack out of it, but then it just comes back again.

I used to do this when I was little. Still do, to some extent, but I my friends all say I have OCD so I guess it hasn't completely gone! It's nothing abnormal, though - just a need to feel that everything is even and balanced.

Pretty normal. If you feel the need to change, force yourself not to do it. Get up and do something else before you even it out.
