> It is an OCD thing for some folks, and I assume it could also be somewhat of an ADD thing for others. It could also be nothing at all. I, myself, am both OCD and ADD... and am a terrible nail-biter/skin-picker, etc. I attribute it to OCD, because I know what compulsions "feel like", and they are definitely compulsions.

I have ADD but not OCD. I can still easily say that if you're doing something you don't desire to do but find you're doing it anyway (like my roommate who turns the light on and off for 5 minutes some nights) it's OCD. ADD can really only distract you from doing stuff, or impulsively have you do stuff. I never had impulses, but have observed children with severe ones, and even they were able to "step back" from them and realize they acted on an impulse like 5 seconds after doing the impulse.
