Post Reply New Topic

ok we all have our weird habits, heres some of mine"

for me, i always look at myself in the mirror to check on how I look.
I can't stand walking when there is another person walking past me.
I always have to do something while on the computer, ie: twist hair, play w/ hair, rub my face
I sort of stretch my toe up too far when I walk.
I hate speaking on the phone in public places..

ill post more later. post yours!

You're not alone there... I do that one... no clue why... I don't perceive it to be a vanity thing -- I honestly don't think of myself as being particularly attractive. More like self-conscious.



I do that too, but not just when I'm on the computer... constantly, irrespective of what I'm doing.

I pace uncontrollably if there's not another person actively engaging me.
I eat hamburgers in circles to get rid of the bread around the edge first. I don't like bread, so I don't want the last bite to be a big mouth full of bread, I want it to be the content of the burger (or sandwitch).

There are loads of others that I know I've mentioned to people over the years, but nothing in particular is coming to me at the moment.

i talk to myself and smell my fingers

Same as you, I talk to myself...
I also jump like a kangaroo when I am happy...
People thinks that I am odd when I act this way...

I go around and count all the stuff in the vending machines. No one at school really ever cared, though, as they thought I was just looking for a snack. For me, if the machine had 39 items, something bad would always does happen. But if it has 43 or 45, that means something good will happen. All of this is actually surprisingly accurate for me. But I think this is just the OCD talking.

Well I also do that burger thing, but it extends to a great deal of my other foods, it is a general habit I think partialy of how I want to save the best for last so I can savour it even more, such as I have to eat pizza crust's first, and while eating looking for the best bit to know what to eat last.
I often have a few default behaviours, calm stareing, slightly stressed (though not always) continuosly looking around at anything and senses picking up many things such as people entering rooms and I also have a kind of learnt try to appear like I am totaly normal and listening to their conversation.
Plus I do have a few issues with bright lights and loud noises that can cause me to have odd behaviours such as reacting to certain noises, and useing my sunglasses very often when out, and since people seem to think odd of others wearing them in what could be counted as indoors though I still find it a bit too bright I will wear them off my eyes but still on my head. So I am often the guy that can be seen with glasses all the time. When I go on scouting camps I find it a bit hard as in the morning I have to deal with almost excrutiating load noises and bright lights, I have to put on my sunglasses straight away and kind of get away from the noise or I can become very agresive. Also if at times at night, such as being in a night hike, my senses get stronger to deal with the supposed darker and quiter, but I am more affected by quiter noises and even flash lights can agitate me, nothing anoys me like at night people shoving lights in my face. To prevent some of the effects of getting affected by flash lights, I have worn sunglasses at night so I dont feel like hurting them.
Oh and I am also quite sensitive to water, I usualy can not stand anything from getting splashed and rain, realy I think I am like a human cat in this way in how I will react to this, also I have had an odd tendency to even hiss when I get water on me just like when I have a bright light in my face.

You know, i think it actually might be easier
and much faster to make of list of the normal
things i do

But i make sounds for one - have noticed it more
that i grunt and make noises without thinking
about it when i`m doing something - and
sometimes i just break out into random
high singing, completly forget what i am
doing and just dance around

And when i`m outside for example working
in the garden, i rarely manage to just walk
from point A to point B, i always see something
somewhere i have to check and end up face
down in a flowerbed or something. Or i just
stop right in the middle of walking and stare
into space, that happens if some idea or thought
suddenly hits me - remember my mom laughed
alot about that she told me, when i was a kid
she could look out the window and see me just
standing there in the middle of the garden for 10
minutes straight looking like i had passed out
but not fallen down And my dad was the same
so she laughed alot when we spaced out

I run around my cul-de-sac with my music on.
If it's too late at night to run, I pace back and forth in the living room.
I walk on my tip toes when no one else is around.
I only watch my favorite bits and pieces of anime shows; otherwise I get too overstimulated trying to watch entire episodes.

I have a wierd phobia of corners for some reason.
Like the corner of a cabinet or table, the corner of a cuburd door. If its facing me i have to move it or look away its wierd, its like i feel im gunna trip or fall and hit my eye on it. Yet a sharp knife held up infront of me dosent bother me at all.

I also dont like talking on the phone in public. If im on the bus and somone calls me i wont answer it.

Where do I begin????

-I need to have my screens on everything clean all the time
-I have to have the top of my socks above the bottom of my trousers
-I can NEVER wear vests!! !! !
-The bottom of my t-shirt must always be below the top of my trousers
-My socks need to be PERFECT!
-I need to get dressed in a certain order!

Other Aspie/verging on OCD stuff like that, really

Yep, that's where the burger habit comes from for me -- and I do it with other things too. Although I throw away pizza crusts if they're not stuffed.

I talk to myself off and on.

When energetic and in a good mood I usually act pretty strange... I do this skippy-walk thing followed by a big jump behind the person I'm with; I make clicking noises and sound effects; I walk on my toes; and of course I blather on and on about my latest obsession [water towers ] and ask an endless amount of questions.

I inspect all the food I intend on eating [unless at a family dinner or as a guest in someone's home, at least not obviously].. and smell it, pick through it, peer at it and so on. I don't know what I expect to find [glass shards??] but whatever. Food contamination terrifies me.

Me too! I eat things in order, starting with the thing I like the least, to save the best for last.

that's all I can think of.. there's a lot of weird things I do just occasionally, in phases. like writing letters to nobody and putting them in library books. That may be the oddest. (Loneliness maybe?)

I always pace when I'm listening to music. I also will not only listen to the same song over and over but the same part of a song with the reverse button.

I do that too! Especially with "Long Night" by The Corrs. I listen to the part where she sings, "Lost in your arms, baby, lost in your arms..." and let it play through the instrumental before I rewind again.

Here's mine

1. I pace when I'm excited or anxious.
2. I talk to myself.
3. I mix up words, to make new ones.

I sometimes leave a room, spot something that's just sitting there, go to it, move it, walk off, run back and move it somewhere else, and so on until I feel happy with the position it's in.
