Compulsive feelings are internal urges that are hard to resist. This is what people with OCD deal with.
For instance, some people are obsessed with germs, and whenever they feel dirty they feel a compulsion to wash their hands. We might think this is natural, but for someone with OCD, it can get to be a problem, because they are washing their hands more than 50 times a day until they are cracked and bleeding, and then they still feel like they need to wash more. For other people it might be brushing their teeth, or eating, or checking that everything in the house is turned off, or not eating, or avoiding cracks in the pavement, or counting steps, or almost anything.
Compulsions can be a wide range of things, and can vary as to how hard the compulsion is to resist.
