Ever since I was little ive had this weird thing, where I would be doing something random, like literally anything, and this voice in my head would suddenly say "do that X amount more times or Y(bad thing) will happen". And I would be forced to go do it again. It may be five times, may be 10. Sometimes it would take quite awhile. When I was young I used to think it was God, but now im noticing that this is not a common way with how God talks to people. So is it God? Idk.

You might have asked this question in an earlier posting of yours. This sounds like scrupulosity, a form of OCD. God would never ask you to do "x" a certain amount of times.

Well, in any case, you should evaluate if that thing is good to do.

And we have Colossians 3:15 >

"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful." (Colossians 3:15)

So, God our Father wants to share with us in His own peace, guiding us personally all the time. So, He does not want to only at times tell us something.
