Spelling obsession?

it started a long time ago when I was in maybe 5th or 6th grade and has a been a weird thing I do ever since, I’ve never once brought it up to anyone and I’m not even sure if it’s normal or has anything to do with mi but I will spell words/sentences out in my head, sometimes repeating it over and over and over if it’s a word. why do I do it? I’ve tried to stop but I can’t

I have a mild case of ‘counting’ that I’ve noticed. Like I’ll count the amount of puffs that I take on my ecig when I use it, rather than just puffing away. It’s no big deal to me though.

I don’t think it’s a major issue though. We might be 0.5% OCD!

My ocd…I used to say sentences then count the letters and syllables and if they were divisible into each other it was a "lucky sentence "

But I got over it and stopped doing it

that’s good. it’s really annoying that I spell stuff out, so I couldn’t imagine that

also I think about how I would type the word on a keyboard as well
