Exactly this. I repeatedly check if I turned the oven off after cooking and will continue to check at least three more times before I leave the house. And maybe even go back in the house to check one final time.
I live in a rural area and don’t keep valuables in my car so mine stays unlocked at home. That plus I’d rather someone open my door, prowl through and find nothing then have a broke window because if they wanna steal my car it’s a 1989 so it’s easy af to start with no key so and they want it it’s gonna be gone whether they open the door or bust the window.

Pretty sure this is a symptom of OCD
Pretty sure you haven’t locked your car. Go check it
Just replace car with anything that can be closed…
…and could lead to something bad if left open.

Same, I would actually like to somehow « cure » this behavior.
You just reminded me I need to lock my car. Ah well, I’m already in bed, I’ll try to remember tomorrow

And I’ll fuckin check again.
What I found helpful was saying out loud “I locked the car” while doing it.
This happens to me every time. Luckily my new car has an app where it shows whether the doors are locked or not.
You better check to see if the app is correct though.
