What is it called when you do something you know is right but you still do it over and over to make sure that it is right?

This behavior is often referred to as "checking" or "rechecking." It can be associated with a desire for reassurance or a lack of confidence in one's judgment, leading to compulsive behavior. In some cases, it may relate to obsessive-compulsive tendencies, where individuals repeatedly perform actions to alleviate anxiety about making mistakes.
