So weird things we do that other people DON'T find weird?
I like to play with my hair, it's a habit I got when I was little and saw my mom play with hers,
I also smell the inside of a cup before I drink out of it.
For habits other people DO find weird...
I talk to myself, full conversations. It helps me think, but people look at me like I'm crazy.
No strange to me at all.
I think it is normal to me to talk to yourself. As you said it is very helpfull to focus on something you want "organise" in your mind.[/quote]
I don't do that myself but I would hardly call it weird.
I'm not actually sure where to begin answering the question.
I don't like using pens that have missing or damaged lids.
I compulsively carry multiple spares of minor items that could break/ run out. (Pens/pencils/keep a few batteries handy etc.) (The minimum amount has to be 3.)
Whenever I have notes I make sure they're all properly aligned, facing forward in size order.
I check the backs of chairs before I sit down to make sure they're still in full working order.
I rock on same chairs while sitting sideways.
I check my pockets every few minutes, even for my iPhone, which I am currently listening to music on.
There's probably more but I can't be bothered to think of them.

when I am using my headphones, if I only have one in, I hold the wire of the other one in my mouth. I'm not sure if that's weird or not.
Ditto. But I think that's just good sense.

I talk to myself all the time, both to work stuff out in my head and also because there aren't a lot of people for me to talk to about things I'm interested in.
Also, apparently I'm the only person int the world who will read a book or see a movie or play a video game and then want to discuss it. Like seeing "Amazing Spider-man" or "Dark Knight rises" and having an opinion that could fill an essay, whereas most people, their opinion seems to be "I like it" or "I didn't like it" but can't articulate why. Apparently, a lot of these people don't think I like anything because I criticize.
Not true. I like a lot of things despite being able to criticize. I think it makes it better that something is good despite having flaws.
I couldn't fill an essay, but generally I'll let my knowledge of a franchise dictate how annoyed I am at how many liberties the director took with the original work, while other people just smile politely because it's all meaningless gibberish to them.
Also, I'm reading (among other things) Lord of the Rings, and trying to find out how often you could insert '... like a boss' and have it still make sense.
