Is this an OCD kinda thing, or am I just weird?

I always do this thing where I like open and close my throat, I don't know how to describe it, but I kinda tense the muscles and then relax, and I do this all day long even though it really hurts and I look like an idiot when I do it!

But I feel like I have to, and I have to keep on doing it until it "feels right".

I do the same with blinking too - I take lots of really violent blinks until it "feels right" then I can relax for a bit until I feel the urge again.

Idk, does this sound like OCD or am I just being silly?

I don't really know what you mean with your throat, i almost had a go at trying to do it but realised that when i figure out how to do it, i'll be doing it too for the rest of my days! haha. Blinking like that is related to some things.. i feel the need to do this since i got my contacts, but remember my brother used to blink like that constantly when he was younger. He played too much computer games so his eyes were probably spazzing out from being too close to the tv. Are you constantly on the PC or watching TV? Not sure if these would relate to OCD.

I know what you mean. I dont do the exact same thing, but I do things like 'muscle clenches'...I cant really explain it, but its like clenching both hands and even number of times. And I have to make a little hum noise in the back of my throat until as you say it ... "feels right"
you are not alone, its good to know there are others
