Weird quirks you have?

[Bruenin]

I always have something in my mouth, either nibbling or whatnot :/
I normally chew up my headphone cords cause it falls near my mouth >.< I have three broken pairs and a lot of wasted money because of it... but I just feel off without something

 

[thespyisdead]

for some fucking reason, after skipping a step for a while, while going up the stairs i can't step on every step... just feels...wrong... and slow

Really abrasive music I find relaxing, such as...

I wouldn't call that "really abrasive." Its slow tempo actually is pretty relaxing.
I thought you meant something like this:
That is abrasive.


As for my quirks, I've got plenty.
One of mine that hasn't been said: when I get really in to a TV show, book, movie or game, I start to act like and/or model my life on the characters in that work of fiction.
For example: I got Sherlock Holmes's coat for Christmas; I took a sailing lesson after I started reading The Count of Monte Cristo; I started using the word "folk" a lot and generally talking like an outer space frontiersman after watching Firefly, etc.

How about some Venetian Snares then:

- When hanging clothes on the line to dry, each item must have the same colour pegs on it.
- I always run, never walk when going up stairs.
- Some of the lights in my house have multiple on/off switches. These switches must remain in sync i.e. the one that was used to turn it on must always be the one used to turn it off.

Spoiler: Wait

Holy shit, I didn't even realise I did all those until you wrote it.

 

[Scorched_Cascade]

In my room if I sleep facing the wall/window rather the door then I have really, really vivid nightmares and wake up in the night disoriented and scared to go back to sleep (sometimes it feels like someone is still in the room with me even when there isn't) till I realise what's gone on.

At a guess it's because I'm a little paranoid and the door is the main access to my room so if I have my back to it then I'm unsettled.

I'd imagine that it's not uncommon for people to be restless with their backs to the door but my level of response is probably abnormal.

 

[Ashadowpie]

i do this very random shudder/shiver as if there was a sudden very cold draft in the room, i do this even on hot days where there's nothing cold anywhere. its weird. also, i have names for all my plants in the house, not outside, too many. i also cry when a houseplant dies(which is extremely rare by the way)

Weirdly enough I found myself saying all that stuff on English and I don't know why. For some reason I am able to express my feelings and my thoughts on the theme "love" best when I do it on English.

OT Many people are like that. An old colleague of mine preferred to talk in English when he was telling me about his difficult life. Before that, in uni, a co-student (what's the right word?) who was a mathematical genius found it easier to explain the stuff to the rest of us grunts in English. And when I browse photography sites, a lot of photos have English titles or captions. I also prefer to sometimes use English for some stuff rather than my native language (and I work as a friggn' editor).

English is just such an easy language to express ourselves.

Especially compared to German - you know this joke?

I guess that could be it.
And yeah I know that joke, but I like the Schmetterling one more

Back on topic:

When I lay down to sleep I can't sleep in for a really long time, even when I am really tired (when I am drunk I can sleep no problem though)

Right when I sended a post on here I can remember one thing more to say.

 

[neversleep]

I sit in positions people usually take yoga classes for. I do this at hope and at school usually on chairs.

I never did yoga

 

[thesilentman]

I talk to myself. I imagine your guys' voices whenever I post here. I'm disorganized to all hell, but I can still find my stuff. The list is endless...

 

[Flamezdudes]

Whenever these topics come up here I can never remember my own quirks and such. God damn it.

How about talking to myself almost constantly? Especially when i'm alone. I also do it a lot when making plans, however what weirded me out one day is that I referred to the conversation I was having with myself using the word "we". For example, instead of saying "I should do this", I said "We should do this."

Weird.

Another one is that I can quite picky about the quality of the stuff I own and the things I buy. For example, I once searched an entire book store to find the best quality version of a book I wanted so it would have the least amount of damage or scratches on it. Even the tiniest ones really irk me.

I'l edit this post for more of my quirks later if I remember any.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Every once in a while I will have to sit and stare at a mirror for about a minute and try and remind myself who I am. It's not as crazy as it sounds, it's probably just a sign I need a longer night's sleep.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

I will not look in the mirror, and if I have to look at myself in one then I will not look directly at myself. I have no idea why I do this, and I really don't think it's because of some phobia either.

I bite the inside of my mouth and sometimes my lips, and that can be a ***** since I typically will make myself bleed.

I lean against stuff all the time and I don't really stand up straight, but that's really because I have shitty ankles. So I tend to shift my weight onto my left leg if I stand too long, and I have to tell people that it's not because I'm impatient or anything.

When I leave a restaurant I have to have a toothpick to chew on. Don't really know why either since I don't chew gum or anything.

 

[M K Ultra]

I've been told I whistle constantly, not any songs or melodies, just an atonal warbling. Like sentient teapot.

 

[Powereaver]

I swear.. charity workers and people asking for something in the street.. well avoid everyone else standing around me and come straight to me.. charity workers i dont mind so much its mostly for a good cause. But can people stop asking me for 50 cents.. or ciggies .. or ciggie lighters... i dont smoke! I guess thats a quirk

 

[Anti Nudist Cupcake]

When I was around five years old, my dad used to tickle my throat.

Now I have to sleep with my hand covering my throat because it feels "ticklish" when it's exposed.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

- Whenever I wet my hands, I must always run one hand through my hair or wet my face with it. I have no idea why.

i have one similar, anytime i get my hands wet, i have to rub my thumbs against all my fingers like i'm feeling something, even though i'm just grinding the water molecules between my thumb/fingers. no idea why but i do it EVERYTIME i get water on my hands. (unless it's piss pouring rain out, then fuck that.)


another "quirk" i have is anytime i'm at my computer or in class, at random, i'll start flexing each individual muscle, starting from the toes and going up, symmetrically on both sides of my body. I'm not sure if i'm doing maintenance or what, but i'll do it once going up, then back down in reverse, and i'll stop and keep twitching a muscle until they both do it at the same time. i'm curious if anyone has ever noticed me doing it.

not sure if this counts as a quirk, but it's a phobia i have that i've never heard/seen anyone else have before, i HATE soft things, like with a blinding passion, such as soft velvet, it drives my skin up the fucking wall, i always end up going and washing my hands as soon as i can because it drives me that insane to touch it, i can't explain why, but i fucking hate it.

[Poetic Nova]

Uuuuuh. Let's see.
I'm from Sweden, and I've been online since I was eight years old. I've grown up with English TV, videogames, music, books, etc, and now I study at the University, where all literature is in English. As a result, I have an odd habit of changing language mid-sentence when talking Swedish to someone, just saying what I am to express in the words that first come to mind, no matter the language.

I do this as well. I'm Dutch, and have been for my entire life. My mother tongue is Dutch. Yet when I'm talking in Dutch, I frequently switch to English mid-sentence, and sometimes switch back again as well. It's a bit odd, but luckily my friends are used to it. I suppose it has something to do with being so used to the language that I tend to think in English most of the time. If I want to think in Dutch, I have to concentrate on doing so, and even then I frequently switch back.

I took it up to eleven, past years i focused more on english and my dutch grammar is failing.

OT: Can't gett anything done without the music I listen to. And I have to do everything in a certain order, otherwise I just don't feel comfortable with it.

 

[Mr Binary]

I'm OCD... I don't know if that counts as a so-called 'quirk' though. I have an urge to correct people and will avoid cracks in the ground. I also like things to be symmetrical and even when it comes to numbers of things.

I'd really need someone else to point out my 'quirks' to me since I personally would not notice something which seems so minuscule to me.
