Is it normal to have to urge to touch...

So when I'm at stores or even at home when I see something I HAVE to touch it and if I don't I think about it all day and I get frustrated. This doesn't happen with EVERY object usually ones that stand out to me that usually look soft, rough, squishy, etc. My brother thinks I have some type of disorder like OCD or something. Is this normal??

    That's odd..

    Sometimes when someones hair looks really soft and silky I get an urge to touch it but if I don't know the person I don't want to be a creep and go over and ask them if I can. It doesn't bug me if I don't get to, I know there are plenty more soft heads out there for me to feel! ^^

    Could be a form of OCD.

    That's a bit strange. Sounds like you have OCD.

    I've always felt that way too. It's a need in my fingertips, for me. And I have to do it with both hands, or it feels uneven.

    I voted you normal, but maybe I'm not the best judge...
