i have been trying to find out why i repeat things people say, to give you some details to help me find out why i do it here they are.

- the times it happens is almost exclusively words/sounds that are not proper in pronunciation, for example if someones voice cracks or restricts their normal vocal sound.
- it is almost instant and i have no control over it similar to tourettes.
- almost never happens to people i am directly speaking to, but normally to people i hear talking close to me.
- it makes me feel like a parrot or other birds that repeat sounds and words except it only happens once and i dont repeat the word/sound
- it seems to not be exclusive to people either, i will repeat sounds from animals, machines, video/audio files. it just happens.

and last but not least, is this normal?

    It's an imbalance in the brain that causes OCD.
