I get this, in a slightly different way. when I really really like someone it starts to feel like they are literally living in my head and I police even my thoughts lest they see them. I know it's irrational but it's more of an impulse.
I mean sounds like a performance sub. I could see how someone could feel comfort from being monitored by their dom/big, reporting in, and what not. Weirdly kinda romantic if it's their kink tbh.
