I know that not everyone does. Because I used to be the exact opposite, I was very unaware of my self, because I spent my whole life thinking about AoC and I had never idea what other stuff was lurking through the back of my mind 
. I was very very narrow because of this. Now I'm the opposite - I've flipped. I now so love being self-aware and don't want to be unaware again, that I am obsessively self-aware now.
From what I observe, IMO many many people go through their life doing their jobs, etc, etc - without thinking about thinking much. Then there are others that do - but I bet there are far less that do it to the obsessively compulsive state that I do!
Even some people with OCD may not, since their obsessiveness may often be more externalized - obsessing about habits on the outside, etc, as it often is (although people do get it about thinking).
I am a bit obsessive on the outside in some cases though I check the front and back door to make sure they're both locked, about 5--20 times each night
That's fucking nothing compared to how obsessive my thoughts are though. With my thoughts I think the same word or two thousands of times over, for a day or several days...or more.
And I write about the thought I'm thinking about (which is either one word or two (or very rarely - three)) - or perhaps we should say, 'meditating on' - down on my MSN status and other places. Because it seems to help me to externalize it. I think it helps stop me going mad LOL. It helps stop my thoughts becoming a nastily obsessive, perpetually repetitive blur.
