In This Thread We Write About Things We Think We Only Do

[Erii]

I sorta do the same thing s ElizaLS also, when I am on the telephone I usually always pace around when I think words, I usually always see the words in my head and they come up as a typewriter with every thought this is something I think is pretty common but anytime I read something I watch it as I read in my mind, like a movie

When something cool happens, I get lost in thought as to how I tell my friends

[Arra]

When something cool happens, I get lost in thought as to how I tell my friends That to. I'll often go over the story, or part of it, imagining and deciding how exactly I'm going to phrase it. At different times in my life, the person/people I imagine telling it to changes depending on who I regularly tell stories of my life to.

[HeavySleeper]

When I'm arguing my point against someone, I come up with loads of stuff in my head that sounds great. Fantastic speeches that would convince anyone who heard what I said. But when I open my mouth and talk, I word it differently and my argument isn't as good as I planned it to be.

[Erii]

oh here is something, Heavy Sleeper reminding me of this, if I am arguing with someone I come up with arguments against myself; and I wonder to myself why they didn't say that to me

I have to constantly stop myself from abusing my mod powers to edit other people's posts for spelling/grammar/punctuation errors. Maybe other mods do this too, but I doubt it.

[DuB]

I agree that would be an inapropriate use of you're mod powers

Erible, the same thing happens to me with both things! I see the words people say, too, and when I read, I see a movie!

While listening to my ipod, I have to have a hand on the volume constantly, because I'm always turning it up and down without noticing. It will be too loud and someone's walking by me and I'm afraid they'll hear, so I turn it down, but then it feels too quiet and I like the part of the song, so I turn it up... I don't notice myself because it's half subconscious, until I need to take my hand away and get an overwhelming urge to adjust the volume within seconds.

I don't notice myself because it's half subconscious, until I need to take my hand away and get an overwhelming urge to adjust the volume within seconds. I do the exact thing! I always think people can hear it so I fiddle with it

[khh]

I also do several things "no one else does". Firstly, when I try to sleep I always feel most comfortable with having my arm over/above/on/next to my head, with a slight bend in the elbow to follow the shape of my head. Secondly I will reasonably often have "conversations" with others in my mind, though these more closely resemble monologues as I only think up answers if I'm preparing for an argument or the like. These "conversations" are almost always directed at friends. I never speak out loud though. You know, except for that one time. Lastly I will talk aloud to myself when performing tasks. But it's never directed at anyone, and mostly contains phrases such as "and then we do this with that. and that goes there... " etc (with all the this, there and thats as written). Edit: I guess I should also clearify this "we" I use when talking to myself. Though I am by no means certain, I believe it stems from the mental distinction between "me the one talking" and "me the one listening".

I check this thread to remind myself I'm not that weird after all. At least when compared to the rest of you. :] While listening to my ipod, I have to have a hand on the volume constantly, because I'm always turning it up and down without noticing. It will be too loud and someone's walking by me and I'm afraid they'll hear, so I turn it down, but then it feels too quiet and I like the part of the song, so I turn it up... I don't notice myself because it's half subconscious, until I need to take my hand away and get an overwhelming urge to adjust the volume within seconds. I do that with the tv remote.

hmmm theres some stuff I posted in the "what are your phobias" thread that I could post in here, I just might do that xD I also am extremely OCD, I could go on about that, such as, there has to be odd numbers of exclamation marks, tv volume has to be on an odd number, I have to do things a certain amount of times until it feels right, i have to feel balanced (e.g. getting a highfive with one hand, and not the other, I have to even it out) etc, etc. [edit] here are the things from the phobia thread that fit here. I have to sleep with my feet under the covers not matter what; I fgel like someone will grab them if I don't. I also have to build a barricade of pillows around me to feel safe. I can't stand having a mirror by me when I sleep. I can have a mirror in the room but it has to be in a certain location where I can't see myself while in my bed. It is a fear I have. Once when I stayed at my aunts, I was staying in the extra room on an air mattress on the floor, the room wasn't finished and there was a mirror leaning against the wall, parallel to me. I had to cover it with a blanket because I get so freaked out...seriously, waking up in the middle of the night and seeing a glimpse of yourself in the darkness...it makes me feel like someone else is there. Lastly I will talk aloud to myself when performing tasks. But it's never directed at anyone, and mostly contains phrases such as "and then we do this with that. and that goes there... " etc (with all the this, there and thats as written). Edit: I guess I should also clearify this "we" I use when talking to myself. Though I am by no means certain, I believe it stems from the mental distinction between "me the one talking" and "me the one listening". i posted earlier about how I also do this

[tommo]

I agree that would be an inapropriate use of you're mod powers Do it, Xaq.... i posted earlier about how I also do this That's the point of this thread, I believe; so we can see how other people do things that we think only we do.

[Erii]

I also leave cabinets open,habitually. And people always give me shit about it. And I put down remotes and phones button side down. People get mad at me about that too That's the point of this thread, I believe; so we can see how other people do things that we think only we do. yeah, i was just making a statement on how be both did a similar thing Dx I didn't mean it negatively

[HeavySleeper]

I like to walk when I think. I'm always walking back and forth in my room, thinking about things. I'm sure if anyone walked in and saw me, they'd think I was crazy.
