Having conversation with pets, like, walking around the house doing tasks while talking to your dog.
Having imaginary conversations with people, that I know will never actually happen in real life.
I daydream constantly. I’ll sit there and be imagining I’m the hero of some story, or I just won a billion dollars and how I’m spending it. I just have an imagination I get lost in when nothing is happening.
Feeling like you’re looked at suspiciously when you leave a store without buying anything.
I sleep with my feet outside of the blanket so my feet can “breathe”. I feel suffocated if my feet are under the blankets.
I wet my toothbrush, put on the toothpaste and then wet it again.Always wondered if this was normal but never asked.
I randomly talk to my self when I’m home alone,Though it makes no sense.It’s like„I hate this“„This is Fine“And i have no clue what I’m talking about.Pls tell me I’m not the only one :c.
My voice changing depending on who I talk to. For example, the “voice” I use when working is entirely different than the voice I use for, say, speaking to friends.I am talking about the pitch, tone etc.
Whenever I leave a spot I’ve been sitting in outside, I make sure to look back and check if I’ve dropped anything.
Look at each side of a potato chip/dorito to determine what side I want to put against my tongue.
When I have a cringe thought or something negative on my mind I’ll make some noise out loud to interrupt said thought.
Have strange intrusive thoughts that seem incongruous to my values and beliefs.‘Maybe I should shout “S**T” loudly in my workplace'‘What if I pushed that man in front of our upcoming train?‘Etc.
When I add 7 + 4, I break up the 4 into 3+1. 7+3 is obviously 10, 10+1=11.There is probably several other examples of math problems I break up in my head to make solving easier.
When I eat cereal (or other small separate food like corn or peas) I’ll split it evenly in my mouth so I chew evenly on both sides. If one scoop has an odd number in it, I’ll keep a tally of which “side is up” to know to put the next on bit on the other side.I really thought this was normal until I told my wife that I do this and she has assured me that it isn’t, along with making sure everyone else knows that I do this abnormal thing.
Significantly Changing your personality based on who you’re interacting with.
Slap my thighs as if they are percussion instruments when I’m bored.
If I’m out in public (grocery store, school pick up line, doc office, etc), I’ll have a quick thought of “I wonder if anyone is reading my mind right now. Quick! Don’t think of anything weird!” and then I proceed to automatically start thinking of weird s**t or trying to tell this imaginary mind reader that I’m totally not a weird person or side-eyeing people that I see.
Clearing a notification off my phone as soon as I get it, deleting most of my texts after a few days, and then swiping up on any open pages/apps at the end of the day.
The amount of water I can consume. I know they say you should drink when you are thirsty, but I can be thirsty a lot, especially during warm weather / summer days.I can easily drink 100oz (or about 3L) of water a day.
When I wear my glasses, I raise my eyebrows and my ears just enough to lift and readjust my glasses. Never realized how stupid I looked.
My foot wags when I’m really happy. I’m sure it’s “normal” in the sense that it’s just an outlet for extra energy, but I don’t know if other people have a waggly foot.P.S. I used to think it was something I was just making up, but the boyfriend tells me I do it in my sleep too! :D.

Whenever I haven’t talked to a person for a couple of hours, I just say something out loud to test if my voice still exists.
If I have a song stuck in my head I often click my teeth to the drum beat. When my wife notices me doing it she asks me what the song is.
Make the same face as my drawing as I’m drawing it.
I prefer cold pizza that’s been in the fridge overnight to hot pizza.
I actually enjoy soggy fries, or any cold food. I don’t mind if it is hot or cold. My boyfriend and dad find that odd.

I spend 20 minutes on the toilet when, really, I could be done in less than three minutes. It’s like a sanctuary.
Line up the mouse cursor with a vertical line when I’m scrolling down a page.
Sometimes after hearing a word, I will write it over and over with my finger on like my leg or the couch or wherever. Random words, no rhyme or reason usually.
I’ve muttered “Lock and Load” every time I change a toilet paper roll for the last 12 years.
I eat cereal w warm/hot milk. I can’t stand cold foods and I enjoy soggy cereals. My siblings think I’m a monster when it’s the high of Summer and I’m eating cereals w warm milk.
When I’m reading a book with hard cover, I often tap my nails against the cover. I can’t help it, the sound is too good.
I have uncontrollable fits of giggles when everyone gets quiet suddenly at the dining table.
Workout at home naked. It really saves on laundry.
I swish my beverage after every sip before swallowing. I know this is bad for my teeth, but I mostly drink water so its fine.
I often tap my fingers or nod my head or some other kind of acknowledgement along with the center line dashes that pass as I drive.
Walking my dog in the middle of a rainstorm.
Going for a jog right after eating dinner or any meal. Doesn’t bother me.
My entire family will shake everything. GRabbing cereal for breakfast? Gotta shake it. Brown sugar for cooking? Gotta shake that up. Milk? Shake it like you gotta turn it to cream.It could be a mid-west thing, as ive seen other people do it. But im not sure if the rest of the country does it.
Long ice cold showers at 6am to wake me up and get my day going.
