Wow I do the same thing but the perfect number is 25. I also sound out the letters in words to make 25 like in eight o'clock i would do ee-eye-ge-ach-te oh-ce-el-oh-ce-kay has 25 letters it's really hard to explain and it really pisses me off all the time because I don't really realise that I'm doing it and then I can't stop. I can sometimes spend more time counting letters in a book than actually reading the book. It really annoys me and I was wondering if there was anything I could do about it.
