Is this a normal thing about doors?

I have a thing about doors. In a car, I can't open my door and leave until somebody else has, and unless it's glass, I can't enter a door unless somebody entered before me. Is this common?

  • Are you worried that somebody scary is on the other side of the door? So you need someone to come out the door to make sure it's OK?

    • It's less somebody scary I fear, more just the fact I don't know whats going on? Going behind somebody, I feel like I can hide behind them, I don't know how to explain it.

  • Possibly Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Go talk to a professional about it. You'll be fine!

    • I don't think I have ocd, having read about it I don't relate to any of the symptoms. I don't obsessively repeat anything or get intrusive thoughts about it when not directly confronted with it.

      • What you described is an OCD symptom. I use to do similar stuff I had to check my refrigerator every few hours to make sure its not open.

  • This isn’t normal. Why do they have to go before you? What do you do when you’re alone?

    • I don't know why, I just get really panicked and don't know what to do, I can't bring myself to leave/enter. I don't drive so it's not a concern, and I either wait for someone else to come by or text somebody inside to come outside and meet me. In my house, the front door has glass and I leave all other doors open.
