Everyone has a degree of OCD in them. Everyone has odd habits and rituals they do even if they don't realise it. Thats normal and its part of what gives us our individuality. Quirks i suppose you'd call them.
However OCD is when these quirks (and other things too) become a hindrance on your life. When it impedes your every day functioning.
I had OCD for years but it never really bothered me and i managed it pretty well however it got to the point where it was severely affecting my life and i sought treatment for it. Now i have it pretty much back under control (apart from the odd time when it takes over a little).
So really what you need to think about is are these things affecting your life in a way that it impedes your functioning? If yes then you need to go see a dr, however if your managing fine then i would say these are just quirks and you should just embrace them.
