Should this concern me if it doesn't affect my duration too much right very soon?

I don't completely grasp the concept of "intrusive thoughts" quite yet but I have a few examples of what I come up with may be intrusive thoughts or something along the lines of them... - I have extremely random thoughts where I will be doing something similar to painting a room and I cannot get the thought out of my mind until I am done painting the room. As I paint, the room get bigger so it is hard to finish painting the room. Also, I have a thought of a creature swinging around one of those bars the people in gymnastics use for doing the flips and stuff and I cannot catch it out of my head. I've had thoughts like this since I be 6 or 7. It used to be a sequence of pictures when I was young. I also have some thoughts that are slightly severe or disturbing. But the weird ones are most common. I'm also pretty paranoid about going contained by public places because I being to think someone is going to hurt me or someone is following me. I start to panic and I cannot breathe capably and my body tenses up and I try to get away as fast as possible. (this is the one that affects me the most, i think) Other things that bother me are - - I cannot put clothing back over my bathing suit nor can I lay on a pillow next to wet hair - I fold things into perfect squares resembling towels, wash cloths, tissues, paper... - I often match up things like my pencils or books when I feel nervous or when I'm trying to escape madness - I also have a problem with, if something moves and it has be sitting there for a while, then it bothers me. For example, if a pillow was lay by my foot on a couch, and someone took it, I'd have to put it back by my foot or get another pillow to replace it. (please relate me if you have this problem also?) - I have various other little things that bother me or build me feel very paranoid but this is just the original stuff. I'm completely aware i've been asking these questions all year haha
