Weird Habits

[Samara]

Great comments everyone. ^^

I role play in real life with my boyfriend and sometimes our D&D characters sort of get out of hand and we end up play fighting to the point where people think we hate each other but we don't.

[Brimming]

I can cry on cue... habit... or talent? Nah, but really, sometimes I cry for no reason at all, and I often cry for any emotion; excited, happy, angry, etc. I'm a crybaby, so sue me.

I don't know if this is weird of not, but I can't sleep on fluffy pillows (I love flat pillows), or sometimes on pillows at all, because it hurts my neck/feels uncomfortable .

[Miss Fortune]

Well, it's more OCD than anything...

When I walk on a sidewalk, I am uncomfortable if it takes more than two steps to get across the brick. If it takes three, it bugs me, and I repeat the step till I have an even flow of things. 1, 2. 1, 2. 1, 2.

Even though I dislike math a lot, I often count things a lot. Especially when it comes to certain objects or letters. Like the capital letter 'H" has twelve sides when it is bold, instead of just the normal three lines.

When I go to sleep, my blanket or sheet has to cover my mouth. There is times where I can't stand both of my legs being covered up, especially when it's too hot. During the warm months, it is unlikely for me to burden myself with covering my whole body up. Inside, I just use my sheet to cover me from the hips up. Any further, and I feel too restricted.

When eating Pizza Rolls, I have a habit of ripping a corner off, or the top, then eating the rest. I don't feel comfortable with long noodles like spaghetti or ramen dangling off my fork, so I wind it around my fork till I am satisfied that none will get away.

I can't stand my toes sticking together, so I wiggle them a lot when I get nervous or restless. I have a habit of picking things up between my toes when my hands are busy doing other things.

Oh! With cupcakes, I only lick some of the icing off so I don't waste the rest of it. If the cupcake doesn't have enough icing left, I won't eat the pastry part. It's too bland without butter cream icing.

Wow, there are some great ones here. ^^

Miss Fortune - I actually do something similar with my pizza rolls. I'll cut them open and eat the filling but throw away the covering.

[Drakkon]

If somethings open, I close it. This goes for nearly everything. Cabinets, doors, books, windows, shades, cases.

I don't really know if this habit is weird and I only know it because my dad pointed it out last night. if I have say, nachos, french fries, and a burger. I'll tend to eat one thing, then move on to the other.

.... I also have the tendency to go into an accent if someone says 'accent'.. .

Sometimes when I quote a post that has incorrect grammar or spelling, I fix it when replying to it. That goes for character sheets too. Strangely constructed sentences or repeated misspellings give me a brain twitch.

[Cheveyo]

I am probably unable to think of a lot of them, and might have to come back later if I remember, but here we go.

At night, right before I go to bed I always tend to get a tad be OCD, and I end up having to make sure things are straight, or lined up parallel before I go under the covers. Also, when I turn off my lamp, I always turn it back on then off at least once more out of childhood habit.

When I am talking to people I tend to make sound effects to whatever story or action I am trying to convey. Also, when I am nervous, stressed, or anxious (which is quite often) I tend to bob my foot back and forth with my legs crossed, or rub my hands together.

Whether I am at my house, or someone else's; if I am in the washroom and the shower curtain is shut, I have to open it to make sure no one is hiding. When I am sitting I also play with my ears, which is usually when I am concentrating, or nervous (could have started when I got my cartilage piercing, I don't remember.)

I cover my mouth when I am eating in front of people most of the time. I never leave the house without a kleenex in my pocket because of my allergies. Whenever I hear a Beatles song I have to sing a least part of the song out-loud.

[Tang]

Is this still alive? ff

Buuuut I can't sit still. I doubt I have ADD (ADHD?), but I am a very fidgety person. Which is rather contradictory, since there are times when I sit as still as a dead person, so to say, and people think I've fallen asleep. But back to the movement. Usually I have to do something with my hands, such as putting them in my pockets or playing with paper/some object, or I have to cross my arms. I'm always tapping my feet and wiggling my legs and I can't stand still for more than a minute or so. Sometimes not even.

I'm also one of those people who sits and stands really oddly. Instead of just having... both feet on the ground, I need to crisscross my legs around each other, and considering my lack of balance, I've fallen more than once because of it. When I sit instead of crossing my legs normally I end up winding the top leg around my bottom leg one extra time, which apparently looks really uncomfortable but I like it. lol

So, yeah. /derp

Oh, this is an interesting thread indeed. :D

I have a bizarre vocal tic, actually.

Whenever I'm under a lot of stress I make a really high-pitched squeak. I don't have any control over it, and it seems more like a reflex than anything. It popped up within the last two years without warning, and it's just something I've learned to live with. It's less frequent, or nonexistent when I'm not under some kind of pressure.

I also have a habit of losing my reading glasses, and chewing on them when I'm lucky enough to remember where they are...My optometrist loves me.
