Do you think this habit of mine is really weird?

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had the habit of picking up small pebbles off the ground, keeping them, and playing with them. And I don’t pick up just ANY pebble, either. It has to feel just right. I often carry the pebble with me in my pocket wherever I go and I take it out and play with it when I feel like it. I’m 35 now, so is this really weird? If so, does anyone else here have any weird habits like mine?
Its a mild form of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and nothing to really worry about. If you’re bothered by it, a professional can help you with therapy.
ya, a little weird but i think everyone has their own little weird things that they do. If it doesn’t bother you and it makes you feel good, no need to worry.
I think this habit is adorable. If it’s the weirdest you’ve got, I think you’re in good shape!
not really. like, its a little bit ocd, but i have ocd so i know exactly what its like.
as long as it isnt stopping you from living your life in a normal fashion, your ok.
one of my weird habits is that if it is smaller than an oreo cookie i HAVE to eat it in groups of 2. so m&ms get eaten two at a time, tic tacs, skittles, etc. my friends like to mess with me and give me like, seven of something, lol.
but i completely get where you coming from with the “has to feel right” thing. like, if im in a store, about to buy something, i of course look for the right size or whatever, but then i also pay attention to which one feels RIGHT you know? or if i buy a copy of a book, if the first copy i pick up doesnt feel right, ill pick up the rest of them till one gets me.
Reading that, causes me to feel like you’re picking up lil angel babies/kids. I understand, I’ll go picking up beautiful fallen Autumn leaves that have already turned colors.. I’ve collected 5 bags full of different Fallen Autumn leaves. Just the beautiful different colors.
i personally think it’s cute, u can make a collection of them
if it doesn’t interfere with your life and if you don’t get hit by a car trying to get such a pebble, i think you’re fine
