Do I have a problem or does this really happen to others?

Okay, So, I know this is really strange but I always have to look at things a certain number of times like, I don't know why but I always have to look a something 5 times or I think something bad will happen? If you know if this is called anything let me know or am i just being a retard?

No retard present, I'd say. The angels of perspective are indebted to you for your admission of repeated relooks. It takes a few serious tries to achieve something like tara rasa, or whatever you call it, when one views something as if one was seeing it for the first time, with no preconceptions, no subjective bias or prejudice, to observe with the same blessing of nature that has the allowance of something to be of a shared existence. As a child...which, I suppose, may make one want to question the maturity of such active look-agains.

It is my hope that we disciplined humans of crucial perspicacity and careful percipience can gather a most harmonious conceiving in a mere glimpse as we can with the scrutiny of an unincorporated sheriff's department with way too much money that supposedly represents our social safety say so.
The feel of things is also at the mercy of the innocense of childlike introspect. The imposition of 'telling what will be felt' is the soft Satan kook of our today.

We could always just ask our dog or cat, you know .

It sounds like mild OCD--obsessive-compulsive disorder. Like people who have to touch a doorknob a certain amount of time before they can open the door, or someone who has to count all the cracks in the sidewalk before he can walk on that square of sidewalk. If they didn't the count, the world will end. If you do actually feel that way, have to look at something 5 times or something bad will happen, then you really need to go find a therapist who can help you overcome it before it gets even worse. Right now it sounds rather mild but it can get worse.

lol have it too. For example I sometimes have to re-play music an odd number of times else I think it wont sound the same. like the others say its probs ocd. Try to get help dont let it take over your life... kinda did to me... good luck

also its not retarded.. having ocd may increase ur attention to detail which can be useful but neverthless still get checked.

You're fine. I pretty much do the same thing. We are both OCD. There is typically no problem with it. I have to step on a square of a sidewalk an even number of times starting with my left foot, otherwise I have to walk back over that same square. Kind of weird, eh? But you are fine; tons of people have OCD.

You're not being a retard. You and i obviously have the same thing. It sounds like OCD.
