Are these signs of OCD?

Question

Getting sidetracked and counting letters in words by repeatly counting the letters by goin "1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, etc" so that the word ends up even.. i do this by goin from one word to another to another until i have counted all the words i can see in a room. I also did this the other day walking back from the pub.. i was walking with mates yet my mind insisted on counting cubes on the edge of the path the same way.

I have been doin this basically forever now.

I do it with pictures by counting the pictures in a room.. etc etc

and if i end up on an odd number ill include different things like the background or something to get an even number.

Also i also tear place mats up in pubs which i dont seem to stop

Answer 1

i do have something similar, whenever i see a number, i count it in 3s, to the that if it is 3,6,9 digits, also i add the value of all numbers to see their total, and if they are divisble by 3 or not... and some other stuff as well

it is not bad actually , i learned to memorize number so fast, i can memorize 16 digit numbers by reading them silently few times
