Alright, whenever I see something, I count it. Stripes, stairs, you name it. Here's where it gets a bit stranger. If the number is over 9, say, a two-digit number, I add those digits together. So if I had 23 of something, I add 2 and 3 to get 5. Everything has it's "magic number". Is this normal?
It's not common, but it's hardly unheard-of. If the need to count things isn't messing up your life, it's not a disorder.
I find myself doing this sometimes usually when making salad I count how many vertical slices in the cucumber then the horizontal lines and the same for the tomato and try to keep up with how many diced pieces there are in the bowl of salad I also count other random things it's just one of my ticks it dowdy bother or interfere with my life so I guess it's okay
yeah i count things too. it can be distracting sometimes but its more of a habit i think. my mum does it too. i say its normal.
Some people actually made a 'science' out of it, it's called numerology.
Not normal, but not strange.
If it keeps you happy then fuck what anybody else thinks, but if it bothers you then go and see somebody about it.
