Your weirdest habit(s)?

[Roofstone]

So, got any weird habits? If so, what is the weirdest?

Me I am fairly normal, though I absolutely cannot sleep without either a person, or my teddy bear.

Love that thing, had it since my first birthday.

I also need everything to be in balance, meaning that if I stretch my right arm I have to stretch the left one as to "balance" my body out. Same with everything I do really, blinking, walking, swallowing, whatever.

Biting my nails. And skin. My fingers are an absolute mess. It's disgusting and I hate it. THEY ALWAYS FUCKING HURT! Basketball season is the worst, because I'm always using my fingers. I always gotta fight through the pain, and it hurts really bad. My fingers are constantly bleeding, and I always bite my skin off till it bleeds. It distracts me from doing work I need to do.

It's weird, because most people bite their nails because their stressed or depressed. I just do it when I'm bored. Typing essays is the worst, because I'm so bored, that I bite my nails instead of paying attention. Luckily, I found out how to counter that by playing intense/metal music. (Or in this case, Attack on Titan soundtrack.)

I have a couple unusual habits and I have no idea why I do them. Like whenever I'm eating I have to take my glasses off, I feel like I can't eat whilst wearing them, or my uncontrollable urge to walk around whilst talking on the phone.

 

[Someone Depressing]

I whistle. Constantly.

I also have various OCD symptons; such as a need for things to be "equal", for example: If I accidentally bite my tongue on the left-ish, then I'll have to bit the right, front and back of my tongue, or it'll nag at me all day.

When I'm tired, I don't ever stay still, because I suppose my subconscious thought process goes like, "If I move around a lot, then I'll stay awake."

I always scratch a very specific spot on my chest; when I was little, I had really, really bad acne on my face, so instead, I scratched a spot-thing on my chest. It's left a pretty sizeable scar. I also never started scratching my acne in the first place.

Milk has always got to go at the back of the fridge-door, then juices, and finally anything else.

Oh God, too many to count.

I used to have something like this not sure what it was called, I call it touch symmetry.

Basically this but for every body touch/sensation, every little itch, scratch or using one part of my body for something it had to be duplicated on the other half, It's not really an issue for me any more, but I've still retained a bit of my OCD, I think it got to me a lot more when I was younger due to heavy stress/anxiety.

The only constant part of my OCD that is really a constant any more is my desire to have everything just right, I like things organised and tidy, strangely enough even though other peoples disorganised stuff bothers me it's only for a moment, It's not worth tidying others things as it wont stay that way, and some people just like mess, the retaliation is not worth it. Also I don't care much about cleanliness.

I'm not sure if you would call it a habit, but I like to understand people which can lead to strange situations, one time I was throwing out my room mates trash as he was in a hurry for a flight back home, as I went to take it out I found one of the bags was see through and had a bra and socks in it. The bra made sense, but I still don't understand the socks.

Other than that I generally like to sleep facing the closest wall, as close as I can get to it, without it being uncomfortable.

I solilloquy often. It's even becoming worse as I grow old

 

[CriticalMiss]

I have to keep my underwear (including socks) segregated from all of my other clothes in the drawer for some reason. If the drawer is large enough to have underwear plus other stuff then there needs to be a no-pants-land between the two sides to keep them from mixing.

I think out loud in the form of a back to back conversation. It helps me collect my thoughts, but it makes me look crazy since I am not only literally talking to myself, but replying to myself...and even sometimes getting annoyed at what myself has to say about a certain situation.

Usually I only do this when I'm by myself. I don't burst out into it in the middle of Target when I'm debating buying a game or something, but every now and then someone will overhear me and think I'm crazy town banana pants.

I'm sure I have a few other weird habits worth mentioning, but that's the first one that came to mind.

 

[Scarim Coral]

I always used the folk on my right hand and the knife on the left even at formal dinner. I also have an habit of mixing my neapolitan ice cream together!

 

[Headsprouter]

I pick. Moreso when nervous. It might be better described as "anxious fiddling", but that sounds wierd. My desk is currently suffering, it's a very recent example. The other day I noticed some of the glued-on outer layer was missing, I started to pick at it and removed a larger piece. Then more and more, not I have to finish off the rest of the table before it'll ever look okay, again. I'll take a picture of my work so far. When I'm finished, I'll sandpaper off the layer of glue to make it smooth and pleasant to my elbows. I used to pick at my skin more when younger, but it's basically gone, nowadays. My fingers used to get pretty messed up.

Spoiler: It's kind of embarassing.

I also curse at myself and say general self-deprecating things under my breath, but that's something else. Only when alone, though.

 

[Gaijinko]

I cant swear, seriously I cant swear, I can occasionally write curse words but for some reason I cannot say the damn things they just wont come off the tongue, even when I know that i am not using them in an offensive way i just cant get them to roll off my tongue, interestingly enough though I can say foreign curse words but only when the person I am talking to has no way of inferring what I said.

When I am stressed, I have to sleep with my stuffed Eeyore, and I sleep walk. I also talk to myself constantly. I have been known to have full on arguments with myself in full view of everyone, but I am not really used to being with other people or interacting with them all that much, so as a coping mechanism I just talk to myself. I also detest sitting down at work, I have been known to stand for a full 8 hour day without getting tired. My co-workers have commented on it many times, but it makes me feel happier if I am standing up.
