Interesting/Odd Habits

[Pokémaniac]

-I often think things out in interview/article form when they are clearly not for interviews/articles

-I think of what people would think if they saw something happening somewhere; stuff like if people from like a long time ago saw people using computers like second nature, or if people who knew me once saw what I was doing now (even if it isn't particularly interesting)

-Think of what I would do if I had to do a life or death bet about something; like just random things, anything. Sometimes it kinda worries me (In the slightest way possible), in a kind of "shit I'd be dead" way.

Every so often when I'm thinking these things I just snap alert and have a "wtf" moment.

I was reading these thinking you guys were weird, but when I thought about myself, I guess I'm a loon too! This is actually a really cool thread. (And I am probably gonna pick up devvy's date thing now gee whiz thanks just what I needed more oddities)

I think that this would be an intersting habit. I can event in my head. When my mind wanders it churns out working (When tsted on RPG maker) event systems. Only if I could script. That would be useful.

i too laugh at the misfortune and misery of others. tbh i consider this normal.

this

Small / unobtrusive habits:
I always put my hand on top of the cereal bowl when pouring milk to keep the cereal from falling out when the milk makes it rise.
I wiggle the stick back and forth when shifting back to neutral when driving.
I rearrange my bed room every few months, usually making an all-day affair of it.
My book library must always be alphabetical by author, then chronological by series (or just book if its a stand-alone), then chronological within the series universe (prequels in the beginning). The only exceptions are Brian Jacques' Redwall books which are chronological by publication date, and multiple author universes like Star Wars which are simply chronological within the universe.
My hair is ALWAYS parted to the left no matter how long it is or in what style.

Bad habits:
I still suck the first two fingers of my right hand when I want to relax or sleep.

- i yell 'OW!' when surprised, even if no harm comes to me

- i hate having wet hands or legs. it drives me insane. i spend 10-15min after each shower drying them, and though i wash my hands like 20 times a day, i spend longer with the paper towels trying to get all the dampness off.

- my clothes are hung up in spectral order from left to right:
whites, pinks, reds, oranges, yellows, greens, teals, blues, purples, browns, greys, blacks.
(purples and blues are sometimes mixed up b/c i have a hard time differentiating between them. i put browns between purples & greys so i won't mix those up, too. sometimes i have to ask someone what color something is before hanging it up.)

- i obsess over even mundane conversations or interactions with people, replaying them in my head over and over ad nauseum, until i have convinced myself that i had either successfully refrained from embarrassing myself, or that i had done something that required apology (and in the latter case i will obsess about the apology until it is done--which is an interaction--rinse, repeat).

To ven's first one, I yelp when surprised (kinda a high-pitched "YIPE!") even if its something as simple as me dropping my pencil

-My bread must be lined up, and I must eat the bottom of it first and save the top for last.

-I must sleep with a fan on at all times, or any noise for that matter.

There was way more than this, but I can't think of anything.

Things that would normally bother me, just doesn't anymore. *shrugs* Must be the meds.

 

[Misery]

Wow i thought i was strange, but after reading this i realized i'm not alone
bluehzed, i too think of how to get out of situations before they happen (just in case they do)
Pokemaniac, i also think of what i would do in life or death situations
now for my own.

I can't wear long sleeved shirts, if i wear them i have to roll the sleeves up,
when i cut myself, i sometimes hit where i cut myself, dunno why
and i don't like having a wet face or arms

-My bread must be lined up, and I must eat the bottom of it first and save the top for last.

I'm the same except I can only start eating from the top, and throw the bottom crust away, lol...

 

[Ellie]

- i yell 'OW!' when surprised, even if no harm comes to me

I am mocked daily for this

 

[Venetia]

- i only pop open soda cans halfway. if they are fully open, or if that little key thing is missing, they somehow ... taste worse to me. I have no idea why. but could be due in part to ...:

- i only sip. all drinks. chugging or gulping is nauseating. (insert phallic joke here, everybody laugh, roll on snare drum, curtains.)

- i put ice in hot soup because i'm too impatient to let it cool on its own.

god i gulp drinks fast like a motherfucker
especially alcoholic shit i can't help it and get drunk off my ass

 

[candle]

I put ice in hot soup, too, ven.

I just noticed something I do often while eating (Just had a curry)...

If I get food splash and it goes onto the handle of my fork, I HATE getting food on my hands, so instead of wiping it off, I'll go get another fork, I did this twice, like, 20 minutes ago...

It's weird, I hate getting food on my hands while I'm eating, but I don't mind getting my hands messy while making something...

-I must sleep with a fan on at all times, or any noise for that matter.

totally this. if i dont have a fan or some noise on i cannot sleep AT ALL

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

I won't touch anything before or while eating to avoid getting stuff on my fingers. So thus, I wave my hands in the air to dry them.

 

[Daxis]

when i try force myself to do something I get sleepy.
reading a book at 12am for class? fall asleep. help my dad hammer in the wall? fall asleep.

the hotter it is, the easier it is for me to sleep. just don't expect me to wear a blanket... or clothes.

when I try to make myself work at something while feeling sleepy, i go into a stage that is half awake but not, getting no sleep and accomplishing nothing, just lying/standing/sitting there with eyes fluttering open every 30 seconds to make sure that no one sees me "sleeping"

 

[Anski]

I cover my mouth while i'm eating around anyone at all. Talking or not, I can't help it. I have a lot of OCD habits that would take days to list though, the hand infront of the mouth thing is probably the one people most point out.

 

[Daxis]

aka everyone on this site is not ocd, but has ocd tendencies

 

[Anski]

No no, i'm OCD. d
