What causes counting obsessions in all facets of life?
human
I have always had to count everything, I always know how many items are on desks, tables, chairs anywhere and I have to know that number to feel comfortable. My room has to be organized a certain way otherwise i cannot sit and my bed has to be made a certain way otherwise i can't be on it or sleep in it. All dinner table settings have to be completely straight or i have to start the setting over. Why does this happen? Is this normal?
