Omg tysm for this! I have it and it’s never talked abt! I keep describing it to people and they don’t think it’s real because it’s more like stereotypical but it really needs to be noticed more

FR! Every time I see a video about ocd they never mention this or take this into account

[@moseptyagami606]

I have this! Socks, shoes, bra straps, anything! Must be even! Pain in one side? Pain on the other then too.

Thank you for explaining this! I knew a woman growing up who did this. If you tapped her on the shoulder she would reach over and tap her other shoulder. I'm sure there were other examples but that's the one I remember.

Pfff finally found someone saying this is a thing. I am always weird with my feet, especially when walking stairs, trying to match the sensation under my feet to be even right and left.

It's very subtle but it can be extremely annoying

How possible is this to occur in people who don't have ocd, like if you definitely experience is it possible that you have ocd or is this a clear symptom (obviously combined with some other symtpoms) ?
