Does anyone else do this?

Okay so basicallly I have this weird thing I've been doing since I was about 12 . That's when I first remember doing it but it may not have been the first time. Warning this will be hard to explain it is my first time ever talking about it. Whenever I touch something or brush up against anything I suddenly feel compelled to touch it with the other hand or body part that originally brushed up against it . Then after touching it with both hands I have to sort or do it again with both hands but touch it st the same time to feel normal. If I don't do it I feel like I'll be cursed or something bad will happen to me . I often can be walking with friends and I will literally stop and walk backwards just to "make it even" as I call it . Another similar thing I'll do at times is speak in my mind and sort of challenge myself . I'll be trying to remember something and suddenly my brain voice will click in saying "If you can't remember it in the next 3 minutes then that means your car won't start tomorrow . If you do figure it out then nothing bad will happen." After that I would suddenly force my brain to remember so nothing bad will happen to me. I remember at around 16 I started something else similar , ( all while still doing the previous things ), whenever I have my shirt off and my back out And would walk past a wall I had to put my back on the cold wall quickly. In my head it's a way to please God to show that I can do something like put my back on the cold concrete wall and discomfort myself to show I'm grateful for all he has done for me . after typing all this out I literally feel kind of crazy . But does anyone out there have any weird triggers like this ? It's been happening daily for as long as I can remember starting at about 12 or 12
