Thread: tell me a few odd things about yourself.

Omg!! I can't believe someone else shares this little phobia thing I have. Those movies must be where it all originated from... the earliest movie I remember seeing was just one of those short like 30 minute "Goosebumps" things or whatever on tv. This girl walked into a bedroom and the words "Help me" were written all over the walls, except they were written backwards, like mirror images. And she looked in the mirror and it was like a parallel universe and this girl who was actually dead looked alive in the mirror and then she walked out of it and was all ghostie and AHHHH!!!!

Lol, I saw that episode of goosebumps. Those books n shows were awesome when I was little. Btw, it is pretty scary lookin in a mirror and seeing something else. It's happened to me many times. Gotta love hallucinations.

Oh, I just realised I don't do anything weird, so that is the weird thing about me.

Do you know what that episode is called? I'd like to find it and watch it again.. maybe it will help me confront my fears. I was like a pre-teen when I first saw it.

I have a mirror phobia, too! I always thought I was alone.
:'(

In terms of other weird things, I have this OCD-ish mannerism where if I'm eating something I have to divide the food reasonably evenly between the left and right sides of my jaw.
Also, if I crack my knuckles on my left hand (or any other joint on the left side of my body) I have to mirror this on the other side of my body. I feel very uncomfortable until I do so.
I guess it's some sort of obsession with symmetry

Yeah, something like that. Also, when you walk past a mirror, and you register movement on your left/right, but you forget about the mirror. I have fast reflexes and watching me when such stuff happens, would be weird. I remember once, that I instantly entered a defensive position, ready to kick and hit down any intruder?! I guess we're all a little bit paranoid

I am not alone thank god!

I cant wear odd socks it freaks me out!
I cant have dirty hands
If I walk on a crack in the pavement with one foot, I have to do it with the other.
I like things to be symmetrical and matching

Okay I am going to stop now, but you get the idea - I have a lot of little quirks like this..

When I was young I did that too. If I blinked 2 times with one eye, I had to do it with my other eye too. If I saw the front of a road-sign, I had to see the back of it too. If I drummed on my table with my left index finger, I had to do it too with my right, the exact same amount of time.

I got out of it quite easily though :p

By "odd" do you mean strange socks or mismatched ones?

I can wear mismatched socks, but I feel irrationally uncomfortable in them, so I try not to.

Yeah mismatched! I don't like the feeling if one is tighter than the other or what ever... I am a freak lol

Did you just say you eat eggs with mayo and lime juice?!
Also did yuo admit to eating spaghetti with mayO?! Ahhh, please say i read it wrong.


Oh, and to make this post valid uhm...I wait until the middle of class when allt he kids are busy to use the restroom...it creeps me out thinking someone would be able to hear me pee.

Hard boiled eggs with mayo? That's delicious!! Well I think the main reason I eat that is cuz it's one of the only foods I can afford at this point.

ha ha, I used to eat chowmein with ketchup.

when I was a kid, I had this problem.. Well I was superstitious, and beleived that if you think something, then it may happen because you though it. For example if I think "I wish I died tonight" then there is a good chance that it will happen. Another superstition, is that I thought that if I think it twice, the second time cancels the first time. 3 times makes it happen, 4 times cancels, in other words, you have to do it an odd number of times for it to happen.

For example if I thought "I wish my dog will be healthy", and thought it again, then I felt that the first time is canceled, and I need to say or think it again.

This has gradually started to get worse and worse as I grew up, because I always thought one more time without wanting to, and then I had to think again to make it work, and then I thought again...

well, at about age 14 I reasoned that eventually I will go insane and put in an asylum if it will go worse, so I found a way to cure it: All I had to do, is think or do that thing many times quickly, so that I will not know if I thought it an even or odd number of times, and then it will not matter if I thought it again because I will not know if I'm canceling it or making it work. After I come up with this I was cured

I do millions of odd things today.
For example I do sound effect of things that I do. Like I move my hand quickly to lift some object I do a whooshing sound, kinda like in Parker Lewis Can't Lose.

Thats enough for now, maybe I'll tell some more later.

I set my alarm to odd numbers. For instance, I wake up at 7:23 each morning.

I can't wear matched socks.

I also sometimes see a speck of dirt on the window and have to have it not touch the lines on roads as they speed by.

Sometimes I like to spell out what people are saying to me. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it goes on for a while I will start to spell out my replies too. I don't know why.

When I want to crack my elbow (like how you crack your knuckles), I make a first, then kind of flail my whole arm out, sometimes nearly hitting people.

When I'm in a car and not driving, I always try and tap my foot in between the white divider lines, or sometimes tap my foot on every other white line. Have no idea why I do that...

Yeah! That's kinda the stuff I do too, in referal to the toe-tapping white line thing. Except I nod my head.

Or I try to make the speck of dirt avoid stuff on the side of the road too.
