Your question is very interesting. I gave up understanding OCD so long ago, it makes no sense sometimes. I think you are right though. I look at it like the brain is so energized and there is all of this anxiety so the repetition is a way to expell that energy from the brain. I'm thinking in my head right now of my mom's dog that does circles non- stop. She never gets any exercise and it's her bodies way of expelling that energy. I don't know if that makes sense at all. Anyway, I'm not saying you have OCD, but I do believe that people can have traits, but it is when it interferes with your life is when it should be of concern.
