Weird quirks / habits.

[Swiftstream]

I like to stare off into space

I touch my earlobe lots, esp. when I'm nervous. Eg: I make my way to stand in front of an audience, and my left hand automatically reaches for my left ear. Or vice versa.
Furthermore, I am anxious most of the time. Touching my earlobes became a habit.

 

[merinda!]

I have to have the volume on my TV/anything else on a multiple of 2 or 5.
And I have this weird urge to stop the microwave before it hits 0.

I don't know if this would make any sense, but my thought processing seems to work in fragments. Like when I come up with an idea or song or something, random pieces of the thought form and fit into random places until the complete thought emerges, which can take several minutes, hours, or sometimes days. Furthermore, I have an extremely hard time explaining things. It's as if there's a block between my mind and my mouth. Makes it really hard for me to express said thoughts in any useful way.

And I seem to lack a certain amount of emotional response to things. For example, I don't find babies cute, I have yet to get grossed out by anything, and the only way I'd figure war would ever emotionally affect me is if I or someone I'm close to was in it. And keep in mind that I'm a girl and am stereotypically supposed to react to things like that.

I'm not trying to say anything negative here, but these SORT of look like something that would rest on the...a-neurotypical spectrum? Not saying you have a problem, just saying it's a slight possibility.

Or, maybe you're just stoic and shy. Not everyone has a complete thought in an instant.

When I'm nervous or when I'm lost in thought, I always play with my hair. Focusing on the sensation sort of helps me de-stress. Instead of keeping my stylus in a case, behind my ears or in my pockets... I tangle them in my hair.

This is kind of an extension of me playing with my hair, but sometimes I'm so distracted I forget they're there and other people end up having to tell me.

I have a lot of language quirks and specific facial expressions/wording that is a big part of my personality. Kinda hard to describe in writting and in english though. But I'm often told I hve a very unique way of expressing myself and that I'd make a good orator haha.

I have so many weird habits that I've come to do subconsciously now :<

One noticeable thing is that I never stand directly in front of a microwave, I always stand to the side whilst its on. lol.

 

[Mephisto Pheles]

I do this too! It doesn't sound like I do it as often as you, but when I'm doing homework or writing/reading or if I'm just really bored I'll get up and start pacing.

I also have a bad habit of playing with my hair when I'm nervous or anxious.

Wow, so I'm not the only pacer here?

I've had the habit since I was little.. Though it's become a lot more frequent as I get older.

When I was little, I'd pace when I was upset or sick, but now I pace for multiple reasons: upset, excited, bored, deep in thought, sick, tired-but-don't-want-to-sleep.. And when I pace, it has to be in small, counter-clockwise circles. Big circles don't cut it for me - and clockwise circles make me dizzy.


EDIT: I forgot to mention that pacing is a need for me... Like if I'm really upset about something, or just generally have a lot of emotions at the time - if I can't pace, I have what's almost like a mini mental meltdown. (these things have lead some of my family members to think I have Autism.. Which I might - I don't know. But I don't have any other signs, so I doubt it)

i have posted some of these before but some are new
- earphones must be in correct ears (L in left and R in right), and not tangled
- i wash my feet almost every night
- i walk on my toes the majority of the time
- TV volume must be on a multiple of 5
- sometimes when im bored or watching TV/YT videos i'll sit there with tweezers and pull out my facial hair
-- in addition i can literally spend hours doing my eyebrows

idk there are so many things but idk if theyre worthy of being listed as a weird habbit or quirk, most of them are semi-OCD things (i dont like using OCD out of context but its the only thing that fits), because a lot of the things i do are organized (like i have a specific routine for waking up/showering/eating etc) so yeah idk

ya to add to this i am lke this too. i have some face i pull when im too lazy to say hi to someone (basically i pull my face back with my facial muscles??) and i'll do this thing where i pull my eyebrows down and move my bottom lip back when someone asks me something that im not going to answer truthfully (i guess it could be called lying but it isnt really?)
i also move my hands around when i talk and once in school we were doing a communications exercise where we had to talk without using our hands (we sat on them) ad i started crying b/cos i couldn't use them

Whenever I get stressed/nervous I walk in circles and I spend most of my time staring into the middle distance, people always walk into my line of sight and think I'm staring at them when I'm not. I also put my pen into my hair like a needle and thread when I'm bored.

-i poop naked on the toilet NO BRA NO NOTHING FULL NUDE idk its uncomfortable to sit on the toilet and push if im not naked i like my skin being able to breathe
-in addition, after pooping i must always clean my butthole with something besides toilet paper
as in.. if i poop at home naked i wash muh bum afta. if i poop in a public restroom... i usually go to a secluded one or dont poop at all. but going to the secluded one no one goes there so i clean my butt with tissue n water from sink ^_^y
or the showers at my university gym washroom ehehehehe but i havent pooped in public in a while zzz
POOP IN SOMEONE's HOUSE? no im not that... ICAN HOLD IT IN I WONT STINK UP YOUR BATHROOM MY DEAR FRIENDS
-o. when im like in the middle of talking to someone i always have to announce that im going to poop
doesnt matter who where when why ALWAYS GOTTA BE LIKE 'YO BRB POOPIN' n the reaction along the lines of 'tmi' brings me joy LOL
-i always pick my ear with a tissue through my nails before using earphones idk if anyone else does something similar but it keeps the earphones kinda clean but u might damage ur ear but idk ur fingers pretty big i think...
-i hav a lot of sebaceuous filaments on my nose on the part where it connects to the cheek are and i rub it when i have idle hands to rub off any skin... or something... its like something when im bored to do and i do it often enough for me to notice LOL and i rub it even if theres no need for it idk
- i hate shower caps. never used them. ie, everytime i shower i wash my hair (with or without shampoo)
- i always rinse my feet after coming home or after wearing socks/shoes. idk it feels like i have an uncomfortable coat of sweat on my feet and rinsing it just gets rid of it

Spoiler: slightly inappropriate

i masturbate to sleep, i just cant sleep without it because idk it clears my head when i orgasm and im always restless at night because im scared of the dark

idk these r the only ones i could think of

 

[Alice]

I like how you spoiler tag one section of it when the entire thing is pretty inappropriate. Different strokes for different folk's, I guess. Lol.

 

[Liquid Ocelot]

I used to do that spoilered one when I was like- 15. I just. Yeah. Now I'm into hypnosis.

Still also doing the things, though.

But yeah, I bite my lips a lot, like hard too especially when I'm nervous. Or just in general, I bite it to the point it really hurts idk why..

when I get fortune cookies I tap it twice on the table like an egg, crack it open and eat half of the cookie while reading my fortune. i don't find it too weird but my mom gets weirded out when I do.
