You can look it up on google, or do more research on it. It's not a bad thing, It can just get extremely annoying! [ jil16's advice column | Ask jil16 A Question ]
Sabine answered Monday May 7 2007, 5:51 pm: That's called a compulsive behavior. When it's combined with rituals (have to say everything 3 times, have to wash hands a certain way, have to check each lock 7 times before bed) and obsessions (the same phrases and thoughts running through your head over and over) and when it disrupts your life, it's usually diagnosed as obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD. When it's there to a lesser degree, it's called obsessive-compulsive personality type. It's thought to be due to a chemical issue within the brain.
I hope this is just a little compulsion and nothing in the diseased range.
