I have this thing where if something happens to side of me, the same thing has to happen to the other. For example, if I touch something cold with one hand, I have to touch it with the other hand. If I hit one hand, I have to inflict the same pain on the other. If I step on a carpet with one foot, I have to step on the carpet with the other. And the worst is when someone touches one arm, and I either ask them to touch the other arm in the same spot or quickly touch that spot on both arms with another object. It's messed up. I hate it. It's not that I think something bad is going to happen if I don't do these things. And sometimes I think it is maybe an obsession with symmetry, but I part my hair on the side and that doesn't seem to bother me! Any idea what my deal is? Any suggestions for help?
