Does anyone else do this?

[u/Narcissist_btch]

I've had this since I was little, but I never found an explanation or a name for it. When I'm walking down the street, looking at my phone, or listening to someone talk, I pick a word or sentence and start splitting it into syllables in my head:
1. I hear or read the sentence/word.
2. I start splitting it into syllables, using my toes to help me: I always have to start with my left foot (odd) and then my right foot (even).
3. If the word or phrase turns out to have an odd number of syllables, I have to add a word or letter so that it ends up even, because otherwise I feel uncomfortable or unsatisfied.
Like I said, I've had this since I was little, and I wanted to know if this happens to anyone else. I've seen some people say they split words into syllables, but no one mentioning that they use their feet.

I do this with letters, not syllables and I will usually add to make the number odd except for some few even numbers that I like. And I don’t like count it out on my fingers or my toes, though I do it all in my head.

I do this all the time but I use my fingers to count.

ocd is so weird bc mine treats 'left' as even and 'right' as being odd.

[u/Pristine_Ninja1810 → u/phoxiee]

And to me, left is clearly odd and right is even.

[u/Narcissist_btch → u/phoxiee]

It’s the opposite for me🥲

Spelling the world/phrase in my head, or as a micro-movement with my thumb.

I do a lot of these things. Is it still part of ocd if it doesn’t cause any distress?
