Is it normal to do things a certain number of times?

Like if I accidentally dropped a fork, I'd have to pick it up and drop it six more times to get to seven.
Or I have to count how many trees I see by sevens. And I have to give my cat seven kisses seven times before I leave the house.

    it can be a form or sign of OCD, doing things a certain # of times all the time

    i used to do this. you will waste your life acting like a retard obsessing over it until you force yourself to do things the wrong number. then it goes away.

    Aha! You better read Stephen King's "N". It's the same thing and it's creepy! But you're not creepy. Just read the damn story.

    I do similar things as well. Its gotten worse lately. I take hot and cold showers. When half of my time is done in the shower, I switch to the latter temperature for the next half. I feel balanced that way. It is weird stuff.
