Compulsive patterns of behavior can be experienced by many people. These are compulsions that they would rather not have. These behaviours or compulsions might be in the form of a an urge, habit, or even addiction.
Referring to an encyclopedia's definition, a compulsion is "obsessive, distressing, intrusive thoughts and related compulsions which attempt to neutralize the obsessions". On the other hand the Oxford English dictionary defines a compulsion as "the action or state of compelling or being compelled or an irresistible urge to behave in a certain way."
