Weird habits

When I am in a car, I imagine the wheels of the car touching only the shadows on the pavement. I did it when I was little and bored and stuck in the front middle seat, I'd just stare out the windshield and play mental "the floor is lava" but with the pavement and the car could only touch shadows. And I still do it even now as a habit.
When I say it out loud or type it; trying to explain it, it sounds really weird. Like I am high or something. But it is really relaxing.
I am also a habitual foot shaker. I can't sit two minutes without tapping my foot or shaking it. I know it can be annoying though, if I am sitting next to someone. 🤣

OMG I just remembered I used to do it too when I was little!! It was fun!! ^_^

Well...
I weigh myself 3-4 times a day.... Nothing to do with vanity.... It's a performance issue when it comes to karting and motocross.

Occasionally I take a deep breath and release it with a TSCHHHK sound. This happens outside, in public places and it is somewhat a weird habit.
I'm also a cuddle rapist, which is a weird habit I guess.
I tend to take half steps on stairs at times. Usually when I'm actually thinking about the fact that I'm walking down stairs. I've heard rumours of me looking like a limping penguin when this occurs. (Half steps,, bad wording possibly... think of it like putting one foot down, then placing the other besides it, then moving the first foot down, putting the next beside it and so so so on on on)
Do you know what people did in the old days when they had secrets they didn't want to share?
They'd climb a mountain, find a tree, carve a hole in it, whisper the secret into the hole and cover it up with mud. That way, nobody else would ever learn the secret...

Being a creature of habit, I've many, many of these. It's rather comforting to see I'm not the only one XD
Adding the word 'Yeah?' to the end of almost every sentance. I've done it since I was a little kid, and I've no idea why- and yes, it did in fact start long before I'd ever had anything to do with the series 'Naruto'.
I also sit in some rather unusual positions. I favor perching upon the arms of chairs as oppose to the actual seat, and I find it most comfortable to sit crouched in the same manner as a cat, too 🤣

I do that when I am really nervous, and I can hear myself doing it, and in my brain, I am thinking "stop. just stop. stop saying yeah. stop." But then I do it again haha.
I also forget to breath. Like, I'll just be sitting, staring off into space, and then be like "oh yeah, I should take a breath" 🤣

When I'm twisting a plastic bag closed, or closing one of those wire twistie-tie thingies, or anything like that, I always twist it clockwise (same way as closing a jar lid) so that when I want to open it, I know which way to twist it (same way as opening a jar lid). I don't think it's weird, but it has recently come to my attention that other people DO think it's a bit odd. 🤣 (I do get a bit irritated when people twist things closed the opposite way, because I always end up twisting it the wrong way trying to open it.)

I smile when people talk about silly things/things that don't interest me...
Once I smiled for an hour... My face was in big pain after that...>.<
Too much politeness in me, I guess~
When something falls to the floor when I go to sleep, I just have to put it back to it's place. Even if I'm dead tired, or I got cosy...

I bite my nails; frown and pout when I think; I poke my head (where my senses are) with a ballpoint pen. It doesn't hurt that much once you get used to it. <3
And lastly I play with my glasses.<3

Please tell me how! I've been trying for a year and I'll be doing good, then a corner will tear and I'll rip them all off in a mater of days. Of course it doesn't help I have an oral fixation.
Okay, I noticed this last night, I always forget to brush one tooth in the very back of my mouth. I don't know why, but whenever I run my tongue over my teeth, I always have one that I missed.
I go away and suddenly the spammers are the mods. Okay, I can adjust to that, but... Gorath?! And what's up with Mam's not being the top poster?

I guess I have the embartasing habit of holding my hand to my chest 😐 ...and actually using my hands a lot while talking...and nodding like a jacka**, which makes me an awkward public speaker too.. 😀

That's every southerner I've ever met if it makes you feel better.
