Quirks About Yourself?

[DarkDesertFox]

I'll start!

- Cars make me sleepy and I end up taking a nap in them a lot.
- I wear most of my socks inside out.
- I'll pace the house when I'm anxious or happy about something.
- I forget people's names within the first few seconds of meeting them because I'm more focused on if I'm being socially awkward.

I like to watch cartoons that aren't meant for my demographic. Also play a kids game where you're elected against your will as the mayor of a village full of eccentric, needy animal people. Somehow I manage to find the time to have a career, relationship, hobbies, and to travel extensively despite this.

 

[Dim]

Your last two quirks describe me so well

Also:

-I scrape my tounge against my teeth a lot. i had some teachers think i was chewing come in class.
-Whenever I scratch a surface or see someone or something scratch a surface for some reason I cringe a lot
-whenever I am stepping on tiles I tend to keep my foot IN the tile within each step
-I am so OCD I try to avoid touching a lot of things that my cause me discomfort

 

[debinoresu]

-yea it takes me forever to learn names. once it took me 6months to learn someone who i talked to regularly's name... i kept trying to call her kaylee but she was kelsey.
-i constantly do very strange, animated hand motions. i only recently realized this while filming myself. theyre strange in the sense that theyre not conventional hand movements, my fingers contort in weird ways that dont really mean anything? i;e randomly gesturing with the devils horns without even realizing...
-i often stand in the fourth ballet stance while resting. i dont know why, it just... happens. one of my feet drags as i go to stand still and ends up winding its way behind the other foot, which sits as i move forward, pulling itself horizontal and making the stance. its comfortable to me. speaking of, i have incredibly good feet for ballet. never done it, though, but my feet have been complimented before
-i do most things in reverse... i write most letters opposite the way youre taught to write (i start from the bottom of the e, for example) and i walk toe-heel. i also didnt get out of the habit of toe-walking very well with age, and i will toe-walk on any slopes, stairs, or sometimes it just feels comfortable to toe-walk and i'll do it for no reason. i also process things in reverse, if that makes sense.
-my mouth is very small so unless i eat very tiny bites of things its very difficult for me to chew with my mouth completely closed. my parents have tormented me about this my whole life, but i just cant seem to slow my eating enough ahah...

 

[That Zephyr Guy]

-I don't just bite my nails, but I also bite off the skin around my nails.

-I'm so used to sleeping with a fan on that I can't sleep without some form of white noise. Funnily enough, this makes it so white noise makes me incredibly sleepy.

I can sleep through most things if the sound is something that can fade into the background. Construction, lawnmowers, the rain, it all makes me very sleepy. Sometimes if I'm in the mood for a good nap, I'll toss on some headphones, turn on a stream, and watch it until I feel my eyes get tired. Streams are the ultimate white noise because they're very monotonous most of the time and nothing really crazy happens, but it also provides a lot of entertainment as I let my body relax.

I can even fall asleep while my family's alarm clocks are going off simply due to the fact that the noise is so monotonous.

 

[riummi]

a lot of other people probably do these as well
- I always have to organize/fix items that are crooked or out of place. This includes cleaning other people's rooms but I never like to clean my own. Or when putting grocery items on the conveyer belt - it's gotta be all neat
- I tap my foot/sway back and forth slightly whenever I'm eating good food lol
- I like using random objects to keep me occupied sometimes (ex. I'll play with a bottlecap, straw, etc.)
- I have a very expressive face? idk
- I like to touch my ear lobes a lot (its fun cuz they're squishy ok) I've been doing this ever since I was a toddler.
- I like to fall asleep to sound/noise + it's easier for me to focus with background noise
- I usually smell my food before I eat it

 

[seliph]

Here we go kids

- I have really bad attention problems so I can't only be doing one thing at once for very long. Thankfully the other thing can just be checking my phone or social media for a few seconds.
- Somewhat tied in with the last one, I have to be watching something while I eat. For some reason this isn't as bad at restaurant but my eyes will still often wander around.
- I'm the friend that shakes their leg and/or table drums. Sorry.
- I remember faces and visuals in general amazingly but like others, I can't remember names for garbage.
- I have a bit of a speech issue so I move/use my hands a lot when I'm trying to communicate, it kind of makes me want to learn sign language tbh.
- I stay grounded by feeling certain textures, especially soft ones. Like I have shirts that are so soft I'll just feel them while wearing them.
- My ears are super sensitive (plus misophonia) yet it's really hard for me to be comfortable while it's completely quiet unless I'm trying to sleep.
- I play with my own hair a lot for no particular reason (I don't twirl it though that's BAD).
- I have a spinner ring that I don't leave the house without and I'm constantly spinning it and being annoying oops.

 

[Aquari]

I've never thought about it until now but i do have a weird urge to chew on things (i once tried chewing on a small rock, dont worry, my teeth are fine and i cleaned the rock before chewing on it.) i chew on straws whenever i get the chance and sometimes those plastic condiment cups that are in some fast food joints.

also, i love the smell of cigarettes and gasoline.

 

[Alienfish]

- I can easily hold 3 hour conversations with people if the topic is interesting enough. (true story lol poor dude)
- I'm the worst trivia/quiz show/game nerd when it comes to random history and off-topic things, yet when it comes to like computer games and like tv shows and such I often have no clue.
- And yeah apparently I fooled a lot of people that I'm from Portugal.. I'm not. I'd love to go there and/or learn the language more but tbh that music is not that obscure, or is it?
- My short time memory is really bad so I hate actual tests or just remembering doing stuff in general, I must do it at once or write it down otherwise I will forget it. I prefer home assignment where you can write in your way rather than stupid tests with facts that will pour out the other ear afterwards
- I have a really bad sense of direction and stuff, so if I'm going somewhere I need overly proper instruction and look up the exact plan/times of trains, buses, walks etc. (idek if it's a quirk but yeah I'm really bad at this stuff lol)

 

[LinkToTheWorld]

- I love the smell of petrol. It might kill me but I would probably die happy.
- My short term memory has been badly affected since I've been unwell. It's literally a case on a bad day of somebody telling me something and me asking again a couple of hours after.
- I don't know if it's a quirk as such, but I apparently have a very intimidating look about me. Apparently, I don't look the most approachable, which I can well believe as I know the way my face looks naturally. Not the most smiley happy person ever
- I suffer with mild OCD, so before I go to bed at night I have to check the doors are locked several times. Even if I know they're locked. Same applies when I go out. And then when I've used my bank card, I have to check I've put it back in my purse even if I've only just looked at it.
- I suffer with a lot of sleep problems amongst other things. Very often in the night I will have a dream that is so real, kind of like something from nightmare on Elm street. Had very real 'dreams' before about lying in my bed with spiders coming down from the ceiling. Real to the point of jumping out of bed screaming and waking the house up...

 

[AquaStrudel]

-I often pace around the house when I'm anxious or happy too
-Really strong smells make me sneeze
-sometimes I just like feeling things against my lips. Like a piece of fabric or something really smooth I'll just run it against my lips
-if I have a piece of paper in my hand for long enough I'll end up crumbling it, ripping it, and recrumbling it over and over. I tend to do this with napkins and I'll end up having coat pockets with just a bunch of ripped up napkins
-I always leave that fan on when I sleep (I need noise in the background)
-i hate spamming a single button on a controller. For some reason I have to press the other buttons surrounding it too after I do it.
-if you yell my name across the room I probably won't even acknowledge it. You'd have mispronounce it on purpose to actually catch my attention, haha. This is just because there are loads of other people in school with the same name as me and they're more popular and talkative than I am. I just assume you're talking to one of them since there were so many times I would look back only to find out they were talking to the person right next to me

 

[Alienfish]

^yeah i hate those button spamming games, I can't just spam A for 5 minutes like on certain Mario Party games or be it whatever.. argh.

also i'm not a fan of talking on the phone/mic chat etc., i prefer chat/text or just seeing each other irl.. idek i always found it awkward.

 

[batter.butter.bitter]

Oh no!

* Every time I see my colleagues or friends or anybody that I know hair down i cant resist to go near them and offer to fix their hair. its either doing the braids or whatever that will look good on them.
* I can't live without my blush on, lipstick and mascara on.
* I usually go to the salon every 2 weeks to do foot scrubs and have my nail polished.
* I always color my hair every 3 months.
* Every time we drink or have a party and I see some beer or water spill on the table i tend to wipe the table every minute so it will be clean all the time and so it will still look presentable (OCD mode).
* I'm not aware that my left brow always up especially if I'm doing something and if i'm idle too so others think im a SNOB but im not im really approachable.

 

[namiieco]

- i often talk to myself
- im scared to sing and stuff infornt of my family
- im really shy toward my grandma/grandpa's

 

[lostineverfreeforest]

- And yeah apparently I fooled a lot of people that I'm from Portugal.. I'm not. I'd love to go there and/or learn the language more but tbh that music is not that obscure, or is it?

This was my favorite way to **** with someone while I was backpacking. People would assume I'm Chinese until I started speaking so if I put on a fake accent I could play into their preconceptions for a laugh. Especially fun in Eastern Europe where everyone is much more insular.

 

[MayorJudyOfZootopia]

- I have aspergers, adhd, anxiety, and possibly depression...
- I play ACNL
- I dress up as a hufflepuff student when i get the chance
- I ship Nick and Judy from Zootopia
- I diss myself alot
- I sometimes hate myself
- The only doctors and nurses for my mental issues are "pixelized" animals
- I am in love with a fictional dog (Shep)

Lmao, sounds like hella fun : D

Also yeah apparently on the web people think I'm male most of the time (at least before this username) Which is kinda fun, I don't really care what pronouns people use.

 

[Seroja]

oo I love this

- I play with my hair (twirling them etc) every time I'm going to sleep or daydreaming
- I put my index finger at the corner of my lips when I'm thinking
- I get stomach aches when I'm nervous/anxious
- I sleep in airplanes the whole flight no matter how long the flight takes
- I zone out completely when my mind is preoccupied with worry

 

[vel]

-i really hate when people leave me on read, and sometimes i do it to them if they do it too much. i'm an actual ****boy.
-i pretend to be a ****boy because it's fun to watch people suffer. :^)
-i shake my leg or start moving my body in circles when i'm doing nothing
-i literally chew on everything.
-i hurt people's feelings unintentionally way too much. some people come to mind.
-I AM BAD AT EXPRESSING MY FEELINGS.
-i don't remember irrelevant people's names. except when i see random people on the street, i remember their faces, and if their name is said, i remember it. it's weird.
-i play with crap in my hands. i also like feeling pain when i'm doing something, like digging my nails in my palms until it hurts a lot, but never to the point of bleeding.
-when i talk i do the exact same hand movements, over. and. over.

 

[LinkToTheWorld]

Oh I have some more

- I'm a very introverted person, takes me a long time to become comfortable with someone enough to actually spend a lot of time with them. I'm mostly on my own as I prefer my own company.
- I really struggle with following instructions or directions. I might appear to be listening and agreeing but in reality I have no idea where on earth im going/what I'm doing.
- When I get nervous in conversation with somebody, I always start messing with something, picking up pen kids or pushing the lid on and off my cup.
- I get very anxious when out in big crowds. I try to avoid it as much as possible
- I have to have tablets to help me sleep and I try to always sleep on my side to avoid the very lifelike dreams I tend to have
