Odd behaviours.

pragmatic1

What odd behaviours do you exhibit?

I give out to myself in a sarcastic manner when I do something stupid, do stupid dances when I've got something I wanted/ a reward and have complex daydreams about winning arguments I've lost.

Barry Badrinath

I rehearse conversations that im about to have. I give out to myself afterwards if I didnt say what I wanted to say.

I sing "Why waste your time, you know youre going to be mine" over and over while Im in the shower....I dont know why!

I exclusively eat blue ice cream.

I talk to myself. When I'm concentrating on something I'll repeat things to myself to make sure I know them, but I'm not always aware of it.

Too many to the point where it would be classed as a disorder

cookiexx

I am pathologically addicted to to-do lists.
Can't sleep unless I've drawn a fresh one up for the next day every night.
Once it's written I'll barely look at it and almost certainly won't complete even half the jobs I've laid out for myself.
But writing them gives me some semblance of control over my life or something. lol

pushkii

I always wear my pjs when I'm at home I can't wear anything else

Sariah

I think I have borderline tourettes, cpd, bpd, adhd, odd, sa, not enough of any of them to get a diagnosis but more than my fair share so I often exhibit unorthodox behaviour even when I think I'm being perfectly normal.

Oh if anyone knew the extent of my neurotic ticks, I'd probably be in the nuthouse myself.

Fleawuss

Eye twitch, onset of Germanic accent, right arm goes rigid and tries to shoot upwards.

mad muffin

After I've murdered them, I cry in their dresses…

I have fully blown conversations with myself every day. I started with pretending i was in interview scenarios and was being asked some tricky questions and have been doing it ever since. My conversational and interview skills have improved drastically.

If I bang my arm for example, I'll have to intentionally bang my other arm in the same spot to restore balance to my universe.

I ate my twin in the womb.

Snap!

I also rehearse conversations or what I'm going to say interviews etc, sometimes i'm whispering these conversations without knowing. I pretty sure I semi audibly said exactly what I wrote here before I wrote it.

I also ate my twin in the womb. Who knew there was so many of us.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

I stick my tongue out when I'm trying to concentrate

I hate having wet hands, and dry my hands even though I'm about to wet them again. For example, I'll wash my hands, dry them, then wash my face.

I make a joke out of serious things because I don't know how to express or recognise real feelings though I can write how I'm feeling down, just can't articulate it in words

I hate dry dinner, have to have my dinners swimming in sauce/gravy

The best most relaxing sleep I get is when I fall asleep watching a movie. I can't even remember the last movie I stayed awake for

FortySeven

I tell everybody everything. Too open and honest but I cannot stop. Hate it.

Riesen_Meal

I divide numberplates by 3 in my head for no good reason, I end up remembering a lot of them oddly enough...

Summer wind

I have to have things on a shelf all displayed in a straight line. If I see stuff displayed in a shop on a shelf in a crooked line it bugs me so much that sometimes I move them so they are straight.

AtomicHorror

I count things. I once decided to count how many LEDs there are in my apartment, including the ones on our internet router, electric piano, computers, DVD player, games console, wall switches, kitchen appliances okay I have to stop I'm starting to count them again.

RayM

I shout "fuck" when I sneeze.

I tend to ramble on a bit to myself at times. I find it helps me organise my thoughts

Also pace a lot in meetings or on the phone. Same idea

Wibbs

I'm not a mentalist. So no great obsessions, or habits, so mostly normal. Or whatever passes for normal these days. I have some small quirks but no need of medical attention just yet.

osarusan

I've posted this before, but if I tie a loose shoelace I have to make sure the other lace also has the same level of tightness. This could mean tying a lace more than once.

Rosie Rant

I stare into space a lot and hardly ever blink. I make an infuriating hup sound whenever I do anything even remotely strenuous like stand up, sit down or even plunge a fork into my food. That habit started a good while ago and I just can't stop hupping! I chat to myself and laugh at my own jokes. I moonwalk in my kitchen.

Tell me your bank account details then!

I don't know why but I feel physically sick when I brush my teeth with a toothbrush that is any colour except orange and blue, even thinking about it makes me uncomfortable haha

Are you me??

Lady is a tramp

I have "grounding" issues. I don't even really know what that means, but I know when I'm "ungrounded" and go frickin mental!

(Mentaller than usual.)

xLisaBx

I go on diets and eat nothing for weeks, lose weight and then eat again and it all goes back on.
I don't know why I do this to myself.

Kat1170

My twin ate me in the womb.......
But I'm still in control.......





I think :-o

Apparently this is something that we learn to do as very young babies. Because we're terrible at controlling our bodies, even wriggling our legs or keeping our tongue in place is a huge mental exertion - so babies learn to bite down on their tongues so they don't have to waste any brain power controlling it and can use all of their tiny brains to do whatever else it is that babies do.

This is unsettlingly familiar.

Outlaw Pete

I talk to myself in the car and if someone in another car sees me, I pretend I'm using a handsfree and keep talking until they are out of sight, at which point I will then say to myself 'Phew, that was close'.

PandaPoo

I rock back and forth when I watch tv. One of my friends finds it really creepy, but I dont realise Im doing it until she shouts at me to stop. I also pull at my hairs one at a time, I dont pull them out i just pinch them at the root and drag my fingers up towards the ceiling until I get to the end and I just do that over and over constantly....it hurts my scalp after a few hours.

I do loads of strange things but they're the really odd ones.

Sam Quentin

My odd behaviour would be...... People think I believe anything and everything they say, they actually think I'm in awe of them lmao.... The reason being is!? Because I have so much empathy and sympathy towards just about everybody I know, I would never let them think I'm stupid or innocent,But I leave them with the feeling that I'm decent, caring, trust-worthy(which I am)and a good listener....

Vincent Vega

I speak in tongues when I'm alone.

I used to do something similar a lot when i was a passenger before i drove myself. I sometimes do it when stuck in traffic now.

Id look at all the numbers of a number plate and play my own little game of countdown. Id either divide, multiply, add or substract these and aim to get them to equal 9. I was 9 years old when i started this.

If I couldnt get it to solved , id use the year numbers.
and if i still couldnt solve it id allow 0 to be a wildcard equal 1 or 9 if i wanted to go easy on myself.

9 year old me was a tough taskmaster.

I do these things all the time. Especially the wash/dry hands. There has been plenty of days when my hands have been red raw I hate doing it but can't stop.

Not half as many as there would have been.

Sir Osis of Liver.

Nothing strange really,but I might start doing this just to fit in with ye bunch of oddballs.

If I eat peanuts, I have to have an equal number on each side of my mouth. If I put in an uneven number, one will get split and half of it will go to each side.

That's about it really.

PaddyWilliams

Constantly doing maths in my head. Multiplying fractions by fractions. Have an obsession with anything to do with the number 3 or 6. Similar to what a previous poster posted, dividing numbers in such a way so as to get 6 as the end answer.
Love to have conversations with myself, while working out the numbers at the same time. Arranging coins so they are all in the same direction, even though I know it'll change when I put them in my pocket. Same with notes. There's more, I just don't think I have enough space to write it all!

Buckfast W

Thank god for this thread, would appear that I'm not the only person who does strange things. Phew

Thanks for... clarifying.

El Chapo

I can't sleep without the telly being on, not a hope of falling asleep in complete silence. If I'm holidays I have to get so drunk I pass out or I'd never sleep.

I used to have an obsession with that too. Everything had to be equal, so irritating.

Peregrine

I always thought of myself as rather odd but, in fact, I can't come up with a single behaviour of mine that would be considered odd!

Maybe I should ask other people :P

No, but I say - 'you dirty bastard, I got ya' ... That's my version of your version!
