Well, this is my story.
I don't know when it started, but it happens often that I HAVE to do something continuously, like if I press door bell 2 times with left thumb, I have to do the same with the right thumb. I don't say I am forced to do so, but I just have to do it, my organism asks me to do it. If I for example scratch my right leg, I must do that the same way to another (left) leg.
There are countless things related to this, but I just mentioned the equalizing thing. The first action just has to be equilazed with the same action of the oposite body side, i don't know why.

    I used to do this when I was kid. It started to bother me when I was an older kid, so I told myself it was time to stop. Little by little I stopped, and now I don't do any equalizing things. I have some other ocd-ish traits though:p (I just really dislike germs lol)

    Isn't this also a trait of Aspergers Syndrome, which is a form of autism?

    I have to do the same thing. I think everyone has a little OCD in them.
