is this normal???
this is going to be hard to describe so apologies if this makes no sense. this might be 100% normal idk ive never asked anyone before.
so i always feel a need to put pressure on my fingertips/touch a certain part of something. for example, i might put something on the table, walk away and then walk back because i feel a need to press my other finger on a particular spot on the table.
i do other similar things eg i will often just have an urge to go to my homescreen on my phone so i'll be playing a game and every couple of minutes i go back to the homescrene and open the game up again because i feel like i need to press on the bottom of the screen.
i also get it a lot when typing on a keyboard. while typing this post i have had to press certain fingers against the touchpad or ive felt like i have to press the spacebar repeatedly, and done these things about ten times while typing this.
is this normal?? and if its not then why do i do it? its not a problem i just want to know

idk if this is normal but i’ve felt like this too I never really told anyone about it tho so i’m not sure if this even helps u but
Honestly it sounds to me like you may have somewhat of mild OCD symptoms? I get this sometimes too it may just be natural in everyone who knows?
