Obsessive-compulsive disorder--when reading a book or watching a video, you always feel that you don't understand or remember it. Is it obsessive-compulsive disorder to watch a sentence repeatedly?

1. When watching a video, one had to grasp the meaning and emotions of a conversation before watching it. Usually, I spend about three times the length of a disc.
2. When reading a book, I always feel that I can't remember it (I can't remember the first sentence when I read the third sentence--my brain will go back to recall the meaning and context of the previous sentence when I read the third sentence), or I can't read it smoothly, or I don't get into the situation and context of this paragraph, and then I have to read it over and over again. The average book would be read at least three times, and the translated Western philosophy would be read more than 20 times at most. People were about to collapse!
Is this obsessive-compulsive disorder? I had tried to force myself not to look back several times, but I always felt awkward and felt that I hadn't learned enough (my major was related to literature and movies). Later, in order to absorb the books I had read, I would still force myself to read them many times (in fact, sometimes I knew that they were irrelevant words, or even a word, but I would still go back and read them again).
He added,"Usually, I spend about three times the length of a film watching a disc." This was the least. For example, it took me half a month to finish watching Assassination of JFK, which added up to at least seven or eight times the length of the film.
[Additional 2: I'm a Virgo. I'm a perfectionist in my life, especially at work.]
[Additional 3: Could it be that my memory has declined (or is bad in itself) and my perfectionist personality conflicts, resulting in me reading it many times? In fact, I don't have obsessive-compulsive disorder?]
Thinking back, his symptoms did start after he entered a college in Beijing. His home was not in Beijing, and coming here was his last chance in life--he was also very old--so he forced himself from the beginning. His foundation was also very weak, and there was always a sense of urgency that he was about to be eliminated in life. Perhaps it was because of this?
He really wanted to forget what he wanted to do, forget his age and major, and read a book or watch a movie.
Thank you to the four replies. I will slowly untie this knot in my heart.
Little brother on the first floor, I still can't remember the three sentences in front of me. I haven't scanned the symptoms of the next paragraph in advance yet. O(Empyrean_Empyrean)O But you said that you deliberately found something to do while watching the movie. A few days ago, when he was watching "Love in Budapesti," he would occasionally get up to pick up something. He felt a sense of relief when he read it…Actually, he understood the gist of it, but after he sat back, he struggled with his thoughts and still watched it again. I will continue to work hard!

Answer 1

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a psychological disorder that is manifested by strong anxiety and doubt, causing the individual to repeatedly have rigid, repetitive, and unnecessary behaviors or thoughts.

When reading a book or watching a video, you always feel that you don't understand it, don't remember a sentence, and watch it over and over again. It may be a kind of obsessive-compulsive behavior or obsessive-compulsive thinking, but it doesn't necessarily belong to the category of obsessive-compulsive disorder. The symptoms of OCD usually include intense anxiety and doubt, repetitive, rigid behavior or thoughts, and inconsistent internal clocks.

If such behavior or thoughts begin to interfere with your daily life and affect your quality of life, you may need to consider consulting a professional for help.
