Does anyone have any strange habits? Like, unusual things you do or say that you haven't encountered other people do?
I, for one, have lots of these. For example, (I don't know where or when I picked this up) I tend to start petting people's arms and/or heads while talking to them without even noticing. It creeps them out :D

Anyhoo, so what weird habits do you have?

I have habits... lots of them...

I stutter, and say indeed and ya know alot, but those are fairly common.

However, uncommon, I tend to take everybody else's problems unto myself, until I snap. And yes, that is a habit.

Habits? Humm... I unconciosly grab my right breast when in an uncomfortable situation. XD

>>2 I don't envy you that.
>>3 That's...really weird. XD Though I start rubbing my tummy when I'm thinking hard about something~~~

>>4 It is really weird. XD

>>5 I really hope you don't feel uncomfortable with public speaking then. O.o

>>7 I mean, like I hope speeches don't make you feel uncomfortable. Because that would be a really awkward time to be grabbing your boob.

>>8 Herp-a-derp. I totally knew that.

Yeah. speeches make me uncomfortable. XD

>>9 That's really unfortunate. I LOL'd though

>>10 XD Glad i could entertain

UH...well eating habits, I know I have really strange ones.
-Tacobell: I mix up the food in a soft shell taco and eat it with a fork; then eat the shell.
-I peel my chicken nuggets; eat the breading first, then the actual chicken.
-I'll randomly just sniff my food. Usually done if it's something I've never eaten before, or if it's been sitting in the fridge for a while.
-I mix food. Like the strangest shit. If I get pasta and someone gives me cookies, I have to combine them and try it. Chocolate chips and pasta sauce (which is oddly really good); is one example.

Only other thing I can think of is I use my statues and sculptures (like dragon statues and whatnot) for everything but statues, like I'll use them as hat racks, jewelry stands, pencil holders, glasses stands; whatever I can think of that won't break them.

>>12 Ah, I have weird food combos too. My favorite is peanut butter and pickles on toast—I highly recommend it.

>>13 Sweet or dill? I'll have to try it.

>>14 Sweet, but dill works too.

I actually have no clue how this happens, but whenever I watch a scary movie, I start making comments on how the graphics are terrible/good, start laughing at the scary parts, and guessing what will happen next in the movie.

strange habits?
well, i will usually start talking to myself out loud if something is very interesting to me or if i am confused by it.
i sometimes will tell people random facts about something or compare it to something else.
and i get freaked out real easily if i can't read someones emotions.

>>15 Gonna have to see if we have any. And see if they're any good lol

>>17 Ha, I talk to myself all the time when I do homework. Or, worse yet, to my textbooks. It's awkward when that wakes up my family at night :V

>>17 same here, especially when I'm using the computer and my sister once thought I was actually talking to her but nope.

Hello again Tsu-chan well i'm posting just for you cause you told me too! (:
my unusual thing is eating applesauce everyday. it's literally like my addiction. but i've already told you that :3 heehee...

>>21 Thank you for humoring me, Zy :D

Hm... Whenever I eat mangos, eat it with rice, I dunno but it tastes good!!

Creating a ne- wait, that just...happens.

Walking backwards while talking to people. Even if they're next to/in front of me.

>>25 I do that and people always stares at me and I'm like "Bitch, haven't you ever walked backwards?"

ALso I have the bad habit of cursing ALL THE TIME. Every sentence I say has, at least, one bad word on it. I use them as if they were normal adjetives or some shit like that

I'm constantly pushing my glasses up into position, even when they haven't moved. And whenever I play an online shooter and score a headshot as a sniper class I flick at my nose with my right thumb. I didn't even know I did the second one until someone pointed it out to me.

I get really attached to people and objects or threaten to kill or destroythem. Or I avoid them completely..

I have many weird habits:

-I say "lol" out of the internet
-When there's a huge amount of quiet and no conversation, I poke people in the shoulder
-I dislike having messy handwriting, so if it ends up having too many scribbles and crossing out, I end up tearing the page straight out of the book
-Also, when there's awkward silence, I have this habit of stating the obvious
-I have this habit of making people either laugh or become shocked whenever I audibly swear... I don't know why, though...

hmmm...out of the internet when people startle me with questions instead of saying "what?" I end up saying "nyan?"

I make little noises like Link does when working out, landing from high jumps or dashing.

No lie.

When lifting heavy weight I yell like him too. lol

I always have to keep my hands busy. I'm either twirling my necklace, clicking pens, taping or just normal fiddling with things.
Ah also I tend just blank out, my English teacher says it's really because I don't really blink much less move.

I have a habit of standing up to play video games. Better yet, if I sit down whilst playing a video game, I tend to play worse than if I had been standing.

I also have a tendency to not make eye contact with anybody, even my best friends.

you know how people suck there thumb??? well i only have long thumb nails cause i tend to bit the tip. i dont chew just bit them.

i also tend to stare.

Hmm......
i tend to eat my food in a circle, eg samwhiches, quesadillas i make myself, burgers, other stuff i cant think of.
i think outloud when im alone/under the impression im alone
i stare to collect data.

>>36 Dude, I can't wait for the day someone challenges you to a staring contest. Just saying.

Also, what sort of data?

>>37 if i told you it wouldnt be a secret now would it

Bump

Bump

Aww, people are bumping my thread! That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside~~

Anyway, in the interest of not derailing the thread, I have a habit of using food words in place of swears (e.g. bitch=cookies, shit=muffins)

Bump.
>>41 I do something similar to that, except it's not food.(e.g. The F word=Flipnog(s), Shit= shiitake mushrooms or ocean)

Ok, the mushroom part was food lol

I takl to myself only I at times when what I say can't get any weirder, or at points when it looks like i'm talking to someome who's not there.

>>45 Talk*

I have a few weird habits. My hands need to constantly be doing/holding something, if they are not, I don't know what to do with then and just tend not to move them at all. Also, whenever there is awkward silence, I make random noises with my mouth (or in extreme cases I meow for some reason). I'm sure there's more but I cant think of anything right away.

i have a few kinda weird ones (i think). one really strange one is i ba like a goat/sheep and i chew on my friends sleeves. if i'm excited i mess around with my feet. (taping them together, swinging them around, ect.) i talk to my video games even if i know they can't hear me, i yell stuff like "move the other way" or "stop bitch let me kill you!" (skyrim i say that one alot) >>27 same here i push up my glasses alot but use the middle finger every time people think i'm fliping them off.

when I drop things I say weird stuff in my language like "ay shit, abs ni buhawi" (abs of hurricane ? or something) ....

I have the habit of picking my lips and they tend to get bloody. XD

>>50 drink moar water.

>>51 How would that help?

The better question is how would it not.

>>52 drinking 8-12 glasses of water a day is recommended to keep you hydrated. When you're hydrated then your body performs better In general. This includes moisturizing your lips so that they don't dry out and crack to where you can pick at them, among a plethora of other health benefits. You can check your general level of hydration by examining your urine. The darker it is, the less hydrated you are, and the more clear it is, the more hydrated you are. Now you know... And knowing is half the battle! G.I. JOOOOOOOOOOE~

>>54 Doesnt EVERYONE know this?

Obviously not

>>55 considering someone just asked about it, I'd say not.

>>54 >>55 Actually, that's a myth. If you drink too much water, it can cause your cells to become engorged and burst. In truth, only about four glasses of water are really necessary. However, this is merely a guideline—the necessary liquids can also come from food and other sources. All in all, though, you're fine as long as you drink enough not to be thirsty.

{peruses Wikipedia's list of common misconceptions in free time}

I didnt agree on the part of drink 50 million cups of agua, just that keeping hydrated is good, and keeps your lips from being chapped most the time. The awkward moment when you could be thirsty when you think your hungry

>>58 It also might depend on how much you actually use in a day.

For someone who works out a lot, walks around all day, perspires frequently, if not necessarily vigorously - they probably need twice as much water as a normal person.

For someone who is inert, rarely moves during the day, only has to walk short distances, and sleeps a lot? They conserve enough resources that they probably need much less than the average person.

I don't know a single person who drinks the equivalent of 8 bottles a day without working out a good amount - and even they rarely come close. Maybe 6 bottles, max.

I have a habit of talking to myself, but I only do it when I'm alone and having my hands in my pockets, because I feel a little awkward when they're out and I'm not holding anything

If I'm not wearing my hat, I'll hold my bangs back with two fingers.

I've had many a person suggest that I look like a Secret Service agent that's responding to someone through one of those earpieces.

I do some weird stuff, hm...
I bite my nails.
When I play piano or eat, I sit on one leg or with one knee up by my chin.
I talk to myself when I'm alone (or think I'm alone).
I whistle often.
I eat reaaalllllly slowly.
And more I can't think of right now. :P

If an awkward silence occurs, I try to remain silent, then I start laughing nervously.

Apparently, I'm the only person in the world who waits the two minutes before eating Hot Pockets. None of my family or friends do and they call me odd because I do.

i eat really fast without thinking of it,
when i dont eat i get depressed,
a teacher does something wrong i spend the rest of class messing with them and being facetious

Wrong on

o.o oh jeez.
-I put ketchup on macaroni and cheese...and eggs too, on occasion.
-I talk with my hands...so emphatically that if you tied them behind my back, I'd probably be unable to speak coherently. Also, I have the unfortunate tendency of smacking an unfortunate passerby in the face...yeah >.<
-I can't sleep during the day...unless I'm in a car.
-I MUST play any piano I see.
-My fingers are constantly moving. Probably even in my sleep. Pianist AND a typist...I swear I've developed a twitch.

>>68 Yepahhh...

I have a whole plethora of unusual habits. One is poking people at awkward times. Also, being a musician, I tend to tap on things, constantly.

I crack my neck a lot ...fingers too
I never leave my house with out my YuGiOh cards
I ware my cell phone like a necklace
I stop in the middle of a conversation and fix the other persons necklace so that the hook is in the back and then continue the conversation
I always need to have a loose jacket with me
I get jittery if I haven't listened to music for long periods of time
If I don't have a pice of paper and something to write with on me at all times I feel in prepaired for life
I need to have a watch on my left wrist or else I go crazy because I always look at the time out of habit
If I'm not wearing sneakers then I feel like I'm going to be the first one dead if something goes bad

If I don't have a pice of paper and something to write with on me at all times I feel like im unprepared for life

I feel like i should start carrying around a notebook with me so i can remember things im supposed to remind people

>>74 Oh man, I should do that too. I'm constantly forgetting to give messages to people.

I consistently pluck the hairs off my fingers, knuckles and thumb.

Sometimes I count things, I count over and over on my fingers. I count my steps, I really count each step I take on a flight of stairs. I grind my teeth, and grit them a lot too. When I sit down I can't just sit still, I have to keep my legs moving.

Sometimes, I'll just count seconds. Going, "60, 59, 58.." for no reason at all. Just counting down seconds and minutes. And I do it sometimes without even noticing :/

>>33 I have this habit to! It's not just gaming either, like drawing and stuff to I stand up.

i got some, I feel extremely annoyed when i crap with any clothing on, thus, i crap nude. And, after. I never feel "Clean" unless i shower. its a mental thing, though still...

I also have some OCD when it comes to minecraft. :D

I have the habit, when upset, I would grab any foods and put ketchup on it. >_>

I tend to sit like L from DN when im eating >81 im addicted to ketchup lol

I grimace when I think people aren't watching. I also tend to either smile really wide or laugh when I'm not thinking of anything funny. I also space out, which tends to freak some people out because when doing so I sometimes end up doing the above.

When I talk,even in RL I tend to say Ne~ after sentences. I'm a grammar freak. If I lower case an I, it physically hurts. I twitch sometimes. I like to bite, but not hard, mostly when I get bored. I also can't not ove. Like I have to move my leg up and down, or I have to tap on something.If I stop moving, I start to twitch.. Ne~

I have a habit of yelling at inanimate objects when i'm irritated..especially video games. I tend to tap on things and singing unconsciously. When I'm close to cussing, I change my words, so i don't. "You little ass--ascot!" "Oh fuuuuudgeee." I feel like I'm going crazy if I go for a long time without music. I usually have songs in my head all day.

I'm very interested in kanji (japanese characters), I keep writing and practicing them all the time

I popped my ears frequently, its like my version of cracking my knuckles

i used to stand in a corner of my old house when i was bored or thinking.
i also move my rings around and then panic when i can't find them on the finger they were on before. i don't even realise i'm doing it.
i hate capitalising my i's

I draw on my hands and legs with sharpies, and sometimes paint with white-out when theres not paper around.

I usually try spinning my phone in my hand whenever I'm just standing around waiting for something, which usually ends with it going flying.

I usually start randomly jumping in the air when I get bored.

I like to tap on my desk when I'm trying to concentrate.

I tug on my sleeves, the hem of my shirt, the legs of my pants, or any other part of my clothing when I am nervous.

I make very radical facial expressions when reading a good book. (I always make sure that I'm alone when reading XD)

I used to rub people's earlobes when I felt bad. I would only really rub cold earlobes.

I clean tabletops...and refrigerators...and whatever else I can get my hands on when I'm upset and trying to think. I only started doing this recently.

I say... um... well, I don't know how to describe it. I say (more like chant) something along the lines of "Teruteruteruteru", in place of the word "Um". But I say it super fast, so it comes out "Ulululululuuluulululu".

I'll tell you when I think of or notice some more.

I start laughing like a madman when I get excited about something involving fights.

I start talking to myself like a dork when I'm home alone. Whenever I get nervous I start doodling. I always keep one earbud out when I'm listening to music. I always flex my index fingers and pick at my cuticles. I run my hair through my fringe subconsciously.

>I bite the inside of my mouth until it's all pretty torn to shit.

>I eat in a counter clockwise circle.

>I count each swipe of deoderant I put on and they have to be even.

>I have to blink three times before I open a door.

>I have to use an equal amount of Q-tips in both of my ears.

>I snap my fingers when I am afraid or angry.

>I have to read every sign I see, out loud or to myself.

>I have to have my shoes equally tight on both feet or it ruins my day.

>I have to click my tongue after someone says a hard C word.

>I avoid stepping on cracks in the sidewalk.

>I count every stair when I go up or down a set of stairs.

>I have to start going up a set of stairs with my right foot and have to get off the flight of stairs with my left foot.

>I wash my hands an absurd amount of times during the day.

>I shower twice a day and if I don't I worry about germs.

>When I see a sequence of numbers I try to add, subtract, multiply, or divide all up to equal eleven or multiples of eleven.

>When I see the number 11 somewhere IRL I cross my toes and count to eleven in my head.

>When I was little I used to always knock on a door an even amount of time, but I've gotten over that one.

I snap my fingers a lot randomly.

I fondle my hair (mainly because I'm not used to it being cut short) and my right ear lobe (don't know why).

When no one can hear me, I talk a lot out loud. In a way like I'm talking to someone else.

Sometimes I'll just randomly walk really weirdly and then have to catch myself to make me stop.

Usually when I'm standing, I'll put my feet in weird positions (i.e. one on top of the other, or both facing inward). The only other person I've seen do this is my dad.

I also like to play with my necklace a lot.

>>Adding more.

I talk to myself.. Sometimes I'll imagine that characters from TV shows or books or movies are there listening... and depending on the character, sometimes, they criticize me or talk back or just sit there and listen quietly.

I will just randomly start doing things with my fingers. Like just wiggling them or seeing how far I can bend them or intertwine them in strange ways.

I press my tongue to the inside of my cheek when I am upset with someone.

Looking at myself in the mirror every time I pass one. ._. No idea why...
Constantly adjusting my shirt/jacket/bracelets
Singing song lyrics all the time (especially screaming)

I always imagine possible situations. As if I'm running simulations to prepare myself for the future. It's sort of good, but I never run the correct ones and I'm usually left thinking "Why didn't I say this" or "How come I didn't think of that then?". That and constantly checking the fridge and just staring at it, hoping or the contents to change LOL :3

Does randomly thinking about beating random people you know to death count as an unusual habit?

A nervous tapping/finger drumming habit. There basically isn't one second of the day I haven't got music flowng through my head and I tend to finger drum along with it.

>>102 I do the same but I tap my foot.

Fuck me, my entire life is just a series of unusual habits and phobias setting themselves up, one after another.

I rake my fingers through my hair almost constantly when I'm at school. And apparently I'm very rough about it because I lose massive chunks of hair doing it.
Also I talk to my plants.

Oh, and I blink a lot. Hence the name.

>>3 OMG Im not the only one *o* !!!! When im not comfortable or bored I play with my boobs...Its really bad when I do it in class.

Well, I have a few ones...

-I always have to do something with my hands, if no, I bite my nails.
-I touch my left ear when I'm nervous or in an embarassing situation.
-I tend to sit in really strange ways, specially when I'm drawing.
-I'm constantly pulling down my shirt.
-I have to listen to any type of music at least once a day, even if I don't like it.
-When I get angry, I start to order and clean everything.

Okay, here's the last, but also the most rare habit I have:

-When I am eating whatever, I have to cut it into an even number of pieces. Also, when I eat the first piece I have to chew it with the right side of my mouth, the next I eat it with the left, next with the right, and like this until I finish. And I have to chew the last piece with the left side.

Yeah, I know. This is the weirdest thing that exists. But well, I'm weird in every way.

I eat a LOT of cheese, like fist sized cunks at a time, usually at least once a day.
I also drink an abolutly stupid amout of milk, like a liter or two a day at the least.
Anybody else with weird food habits?

- I only crack my thumbs
- When eating salmon sushi, I separate the salmon and eat the rice first
- My mouth tends to be ajar when I concentrate on something for a long time eg. a movie

----

For some reason, and I just realized this, I like to go "nom nom" when I snuggle someone/something. I did it to my friend the other day when I got in bed with her, and I do it to my dog at night and idk why O_o

Ham.....im going to practice your habit until i do that unconsciously.....

Oh and my habit is i move my ears like a dog, whenever somebody calls me, or im surprised, or concentrating, my ears move in an odd way. My boss pointed it out at work once -_-

I tilt my head like a dog or cat when I don't know what's going on or I do it to someone instead of actually asking, "What?".

I talk to myself all the time or rap/sing things.

I tend to listen to music that reflects how i feel at the time.

I mentaly bully myself all the time to the point that even the slightest negative comment from someone in my family will ruin my whole day.

If I pick up a stick I start peeling the bark off, to the point where underneath my fingernails starts to hurt.

I also eat the crust off of a sandwich before eating the rest (kinda like how some people cut it off).

^

Sometimes I'll start counting the letters in words when people are speaking or when I'm reading something.

>>119 I used to have something like this that got to OCD level. I couldn't say or write anything unless I spelled the words involved first, including grammar and capital letters/etc. Another was having to find the association between numbers or else I wouldn't be able to stop focusing on them (i.e., if I looked up to a clock and it was "12:30" I could think "1+2=3+0").

It lasted a couple years and was absolute hell x-x

>>120 For a couple months it got really bad, someone would be saying something and I would just fixate on a word and be like "television has ten letters, ten has three letters, three has five letters, and five has four letters, and four is death." Everything always ended with four. It got really annoying so I had to actually force myself to stop, sometimes I still do it, but not as bad.

Every time I'm in an upset mood, I always make this face

>>122 I can imagine

I accidentally refer to myself in the third person when talking to people IRL

Not sure if it's weird, really, but I have a tendency to drum with my hands and feet a lot. I have for years now, and I'm not sure why.
I also tend to pace circles in my dining room a lot. It's good for thinking.

bump

i have awful habits the are hard to drop lol. I'm unintentionally flirty, I act childish, I don't take care of myself well sometimes, I put myself down and say yes to people I should say no to, that kind of stuff :,)

I tend to do things in a non-linear way, even those for which that doesn't make sense and is completely counterproductive. Examples go from consuming media (I often jump back and forth between the chapters/episodes instead of reading/watching them in a straight line —I even do this in non-linear stories, I watched all Baccano episodes completely out of order), to writing (I often leave a paragraph half-way done and start writing another one later down the line), to just regular organization (I usually have several tasks running along at the same time so that I can pick and choose to do a different thing whenever I don't feel like continuing with what I was doing up until that point).

>>121 Lol, hi there, Mista.

When I'm nervous I do this thing where I cross my legs (standing up) and am in this awkward position which might seem very uncomfortable but it's actually really comfy for me! Also it helps me relax and not get too anxious lol

I crack my neck when I'm mad.

I crack my knuckles on my jaw when I'm nervous

when i go deep on thinking i put my fingers on my hair and play with it

I dig my nails into the back of my neck until it bleeds when i’m bored. I used to put a little bit of hair in my mouth when i was in pain or scared but i stopped that because it’s unsanitary.
