Normal to you but weird to everyone else

I verbalize my thoughts pretty often, not only because I think of it as a good way to collect myself by literally "thinking out loud" but because it's funny when someone thinks I'm talking to them about the random stuff that goes on in my mind.

also, when I was 12 I made a sandwich that can only be referred to as a "heart attack sandwich" all my friends know it's delicious, but anyone who I tell about it thinks it sounds disgusting, it's a grilled cheese (real cheese, not that processed Kraft stuff) 8-10 pieces of salami or pepperoni and no fewer than 2 slices of bacon.

edit: also, despite my tendency to vocalize my thoughts, I'm also perfectly content to hole myself up in an inconspicuous corner of a room and read silently for hours on end, when I was in high school my teachers hated it because they thought I wasn't paying attention... truth was I was already done.

Powerlifting.

Fortunately, it's a sport, and I can therefore do things like find nearby hardcore gyms that happen to be on the "Top 10 Best in U.S. for Strength Sports" list.

Things people find odd about me...
I stretch in public
Playing a game for less than 4 hours feels short
I pace whenever I'm thinking or waiting
I stand up as opposed to sitting whenever I'm waiting
I have a severe inability to make anything creative
I listen to Death Metal

I have a downright feral attraction to blood.

That and I must brush my teeth before leaving my house... Even if I have already 30 minutes earlier... Even if I haven't eaten anything since last time I brushed them.

Sometimes, on long road trips, I pretend there is a little man running alongside the car, jumping over obstacles.

This is weird yes?
Holy shit. I do the exact same thing. Sometimes he slays imaginary monsters and chops down scenery with an axe though...

this actually just reminded me, I always keep a quarter on me at all times with no intention of spending it... you never know when you'll either 1) be bored enough to flip a coin or 2) be indecisive enough to need a good ol' fashioned coin toss to answer life's little pointless questions

edit: also, whenever I tell anecdotes, in real life too but especially on forums, I like to add any funny dialogue for emphasis and reference.

I keep a quarter on me for similar reasons...if someone asks me for advice and I really have nothing to tell them, I pull out a coin and say "heads, (choice A), tails, (choice B), and you're gonna have to stick with whatever my coin says." Funny thing is, this usually prompts them to a decision because they really do like one option more than the other. They're like "No, no! Don't flip! I'll take B."

I have joint hypermobility (more commonly known as double-jointedness) - so I often bend my joints in ways most people can't while doing day-to-day tasks. Not on purpose, more like force of habit. Freaks people out when they notice.
It's mildly useful when playing the piano.

I grew up and live in the South and say "you guys" and "you people" rather than "y'all". I don't know why; I just do. In high school this got pointed out a few times to me by people who didn't know me to well. This also extends to the slang I use which is mostly made up 50s/60s slang, British and Australian slang, and random words in German. Although apparently the slang thing everyone seems to like. They take offense to the not saying "y'all" thing though which is kinda weird, but whatever.

I do the same thing, only I find that it helps me concentrate so I'll usually talk to myself if I'm trying to do something.(Ex: "Press b, swing to the ledge, jump to the pillar...") And I have no schizophrenia whatsoever.

OP: Hmm, the one thing I've had people really say was weird is the fact that I put marshmallows in my peanut butter sandwiches.

exactly, and it's always great when someone says "hey, do you have a quarter?" "yeah." "can I borrow it? I want a soda." "Nope." "Why not?" "Well... if I let you have the quarter... how will I decide where I'm eating later... or if I should go left or right... or any of the other COUNTLESS possible situations that could arise within the time it takes for me to go get a new quarter, huh? Jerk."

I'm excacly like you, if i say it it organizes better and makes more sence. However i only talk to myself when im alone. Well atleast i hope thats not Schizophrenia.

O.T. I like to chew on pen caps, which is why i don't like getting plastic pens because they ususally get destroyed. My girlfriend is the same.

For some reason people find this strange.

Wow, im just reading your guyses conversation and im exacly like you guys, we need to know eachother in real life.

Okay except for the fold ing the bills into squares, i get mine in order of smallest value to largest value and fold it once, it just fits in my wallet better.
