Tell us something (what others could consider) weird about yourself.
I'll start by saying that I always eat my morning cereal with water.
I often see a dream-like world in my mind's eye while awake and focusing on something. These are not completely random. For example I see a specific street in my mind whenever I chat on DV irc. Talking to a specific person might take me to a different location in my mind. The locations can be real or fictional, but I know them. I think this is linked with my memory, but I don't fully understand it myself.
I have eaten cereal with water on occasion when I have run out of milk, wouldn't recommend it haha. Hmmm something weird about me, well my taste in music is not exactly normal, I also actually enjoy reading some classic novels, Dostoevsky is fantastic.
I really like cold coffee. To be honest, I think it's a lot better cold than hot. I mean coffee that's left to cool to room temperature.
I have never owned a phone. I don't want one.
I like adding sauteed fermented fish to my omelette.
I sleep with my eyes open. In army my friends took pictures of me sleeping eyes open, after that others have taken pictures of it too. I guess it's weird. I sleep fine unless there's too much light in the room. Once I became lucid and couldn't move because real sensory input from my eyes locked me in place. I tried many times to move, but I snapped back to the same room I started from a few seconds later. I realized that I was seeing my waking life room when I didn't have to open my eyes when I woke up. That's why I sleep in complete darkness most of the time.
I can lick my elbows. And my nose.
Some of my sexual fantasies are illegal.. I stress the fantasies part before someone tears me a new one.
This was like five years ago but:
During the time when I played an online game called League of Legends, I deleted and re-installed the game 17 times, not being able to break the circle of addiction. The game has 100 million+ monthly players atm too I guess.
Well I'm a pretty weird person, and as I've gotten older it's become apparent just how weird I am compared to most folks. If I had to pick one thing it's that I am really really coordinated at doing things with my feet. Not only can I pick up a lot of objects but I can also work light switches, open door handles, turn TVs on and off, etc.
What most people find a little bit weird about me is that I'm a fairly successful erotic fiction author, actually one of the Top 5 authors on noveltrove.com. I'm usually very open about it and this sometimes this creates quite a stir.
Ha, Jade!! I do that too. Not as often as when I was younger, but I still use my toes as fingers from time to time (people called me "monkey toes" when I was a kid.
I, too, prefer cold coffee... and hot tea :lol:
I can also lick my elbow and my nose :roll:
I've also uninstalled and reinstalled games multiple times but couldn't break the addiction (until I just naturally burned out).
Weird about me (other than the above :chuckle:):
To this day, whenever I climb something, I use my toes and feet (I "walk" up the slant of swing sets for instance).
I suffer from sensory overload which is treated and thought of as anxiety (which irks me to this day).
I wear a Fitbit every day but I'm one of the most sedentary people you'll ever know. I use it to track my sleep :lol:
I sleep on a desk and have for some 5 years now. I love it.
What name do you write under? I enjoy all forms of fiction, including the erotic variety. It's something I've considered dabbling in myself, but I haven't yet completed anything.
Something weird about me is this habit I have when I'm feeling most anxious, where I take words I see on signs and such, and calculate their "values." To do this, I first take all the "tall" letters in the word (b, d, f, etc.), add them together, and then square that. I do the same for all the "short-stature" letters (a, c, e, etc.), and again for the "sunken" letters (g, j, p, etc.) THEN, I take the product of each of those squares and add those together for a final number. So, the word "yield" would yield the following:
y = 1, squared = 1
i + e = 2, squared = 4
l + d = 2, squared = 4
1 + 4 + 4 = 9
yield = 9
If that makes any sense. I have no idea how I got started doing that, but I guess it does distract me from my wildly roaming thoughts.
I used to dip carrots in my soda.
My favorite food is Digiorno four-cheese pizza, and nothing has ever topped it. Kraft Mac & Cheese comes close, but it loses because reheats are terrible.
I also really enjoy My Little Pony.
I sadly, I'm known to do magic tricks from time to time but, that's all they are, just tricks.
Everytime I have a hiccup I say "Oh gosh".
I smoke big cigars and flick their ash on the floorboard of my work truck while I'm driving. While listening to Steely Dan.
I used to walk like an animal (on my legs and arms) and I still sometimes do^^ I loved animals so much, I wanted to be oneXD so I practiced walking like one since I was a little child^^
I've been trying to spot a certain car registration plate since I was 8-years old.
I thought I was the only one!
All day long, whether I'm working or doing whatever, I'm oblivious to my surroundings and I unconsciously day dream entire full fledged scenarios and conversations between the "dream" characters in which I play the roles of each of the characters. As it's happening occasionally become aware of the fact that I'm think-talking to myself as different personalities and usually this results in the scenario stopping (although occasionally I passively observe what I'm otherwise unconsciously doing), and then within two or three minutes a new scenario with different personalities and conversations starts up.
I know it's not uncommon or weird to day dream, but when I used to day dream I didn't actually have a conversation with myself as separate personas. Instead, I used to just be doing things and going places and stuff. I'm not really sure when the unconscious role playing really started but it's got me curious as to what's going on below the surface that's resulted in this change.
-When I was a kid I use to have the urge to touch the wall again after I bumped into it or if I touched something with my hand by mistake. Kind of like a small form of ocd.I challenged myself to break the habit in a month and I eventually did though.
-I like people's posts and comments a lot which I know is strange to some but when the thought of me liking it comes up...I cant help but like it.^^"
-I also edit my posts after posting at times because I feel like what I wrote could be written in a better manner, is unconsciously repetitive or I might feel embarrassed but what was said.
-When I was...I think 12, for a small period of time I wanted to be a ghost hunter but those ghost shows ended up scaring me so much I had to stop myself from watching. It wasnt easy though cause I would get curious again over time.
-This isnt a good habit, I have to stop myself many times but I feel relaxed when I bend my ear.Kind of like how in dog yoga they bend the dog's floppy ear softly to relax them. I use to do that to my dog max. So did my old best friend. The weird thing is my dog would do like a purring relaxed sound. I cant really explain it but he wasn't growling aggressively.
-I always imagine myself in a nice relaxing place before bed.
-I hear calming music that sounds like my head voice when i become anxious.
-When I eat apples that are not too sweet and not sour I feel like throwing up. Very greasy foods make me feel nauseous too.
This reminds me of how I used to randomly feel compelled to repeat certain words I'd just said quietly under my breath as a kid because I believed a witch would come and get me if I didn't, and from what I remember I'd never been told anything like this or had heard the idea before, it simply arose of its own accord iirc.
I hold my breath when walking past smokers, the smell is just too bad.
I like to wash my teeth on my bed.
Sometimes when I visualize something with a lot of moving pieces or action, I start to quickly twist my hands back and forth in a sporadic pattern. Not entirely sure why I do it, but I feel like it helps the visualization. I'm self-conscious about this and suppress the urge to do it, if I'm around people.
Was an extra in a movie before.
Sorry double post: I'm not a chocolate person. I don't mind it but, I'm not a big chocolate person.
If I took the time to think a bit, I could probably come up with quite a few things. First off, I only like the powder of nacho cheese flavored Doritos, so whenever I have them, I lick the powder off and toss the chip. Honestly, to my family, my deep interest in lucid dreaming is something that they find weird. I once told my dad about my most amazing flying experience in an LD and how incredible it felt, and he just looked at me with this "WTF" kind of face. Ha!
I wonder if your mind caused your body to start doing it automatically because the repetitive motion helps stabilize the imagery and the scenario or otherwise helps keep you focused on it. Reminds me of when people kick their legs or repeat other movements because it calms them down inside and stopping usually results in feeling a need to start doing it again or maybe they feel more anxious if they don't. The movement here would work the same way essentially by calming you down or otherwise helping maintain a specific mindstate by preventing thoughts that interfere with the visualization process.
I'm pretty sure there have also been studies done on the effects of dancing (repeating certain movements in a rhythmic fashion) on creating, reinforcing, or maintaining certain mindstates or altered states of consciousness, now that I think about it. Any movement that involves rhythm and is repeated for some length of time is supposed to be able to perform this kind of function, IIRC. I'll post back or edit this post with anything I find about that, gonna search it on google.
Since you're interested, I felt like giving more details about it. If I want to visualize something that's fast/powerful/complicated movement etc. I feel the need to move my hands. If I don't, my visualization is static, just still images. It's easier to get into it and "see" the action in my mind when I move my hands. Sometimes I do the hand movement when I'm excited about something, so I don't always have to visualize stuff.
I also did this in one dream. I was fighting a monster that was growing so big it filled an ocean and healed from any wound I inflicted. I wanted to imagine every single cell in that monster burning and turning into ash at the same time, so there would be nothing to heal. I flew up and focused on this. In that moment, I saw myself in two places: In the air above the monster and floating in a black void doing the hand motion I do in waking life. I was dreaming about doing the hand motion to focus on the visualization of billions of cells burning.
So clearly this is very deeply rooted in my mind, I do it in my sleep!
I like to pee in the dark at night.
... what? The sudden bright light hurts my eyes. :lol:
I observe everything. From a fly cleaning it's wings, to the way the leaf blows from its limb...I observe- that is apparently unusual- weird.
I'm considered odd by many but when asked, i can't think of anything i would consider weird about myself. Weird, isn't it. :D
I have sexy with God face and she worship me as the Devil of eternity as my nickname pretty meso
I go through phases of having nails, and biting them off for months at a time. I try really hard to keep them.
Me and my sister were both hospitalized twice each last year, the same thing each time, but different from each other.
Sometimes I daydream as much as I sleep-dream. I want to learn to incorporate my day dreams into my sleep dreams so they're more realistic.
I know this isn't the thread for this, but I figured I should let you know about MDD. It's short for maladaptive daydreaming. Daydreaming is great, it's one of my favourite things. But some times, for some people, myself included, it can become an escape from reality that makes your life a lot more difficult.
It's just nice to know about it. Becoming aware of that pattern and learning what causes it and how to deal with it really helped me grow as a person. I don't want to stop daydreaming it's a huge part of who I am. But I know now what to look out for so that I don't screw myself over by spending too much time disconnected from reality.
I've heard of that, and I might have it, but I haven't been doing it to the point where it really affects my daily life, so I usually don't worry. Also like I said earlier, I'm trying to incorporate my daydreams into my night dreams and maybe I won't find the need to daydream as often. The only problem here is that now I want to sleep all the time :disconcerted:
Harnessing daydreaming in dreams, now that's a cool idea!
Nothing wrong with a bit of daydreaming. I feel sorry for the ones who simply cannot daydream (Didn't even know they existed til recently).
Wanna know something weird about me?
March last year I met God. When it happened I stopped eating, drinking and sleeping, and went into my own world. You could call it daydreaming. I was talking to God for 3 days straight and then suddenly my daydreams came to the forefront. i.e. I started hallucinating. It felt like I was getting answers to the most incredible, mind-bending things. And time passed like it was nothing.
Then randomly on the third night I decided to take a walk. I dressed up looking like a hobo and ran out the door. Basically I got found by the police sitting on a roundabout next to Glasgow Airport, talking the biggest load of rubbish. I got put in the loony bin.
It took 3 days of getting sleep and water to take me out of the daydream and back to reality. Well, at least to push the daydream back to the back of my mind, where it belongs.
They call it a psychotic episode, I call it dreaming when awake :P
My parents and their friends moved to an isolated elevated valley in the 70s and built houses. I was born there. We had kerosene lamps, dirt roads and outhouses. I still visit my best friend there all the time and it’s still quite rustic. The only changes really are that everyone has solar power now. Some of the houses are really nice and it’s very beautiful. It’s like stepped me back in time.
I wipe the excess water off my skin before drying myself up with a towel, so that the towel doesn't get completely soaked.
I sometimes repeat a good part of a song for more than 20 times.
I always think of a fictional movie scene when listening to my favorite songs.
Waterwipers unite! I was taught by my father that this is the correct way. And my children will learn it too one day.
I never saw the outside or light for 5 years.
I tried eating cereal with orange juice once, it actually was pretty good. Also, I hate all cheese by Colby and pepper jack, don't like cow milk, and love eating Ghost Pepper chips. These were just teasers, want to know the weirdest thing? I actually like getting dirty, in fact i prefer it to a state of cleanliness
(no allergies btw)
- I can burp my ABCs.
- I can crack my jaw (it's not injured I'm not sure what happened, it's same to how people crack their knuckles).
- I can go into a mental breakdown if I interact with anyone for too many hours in person, but it's perfectly fine for me to chat with people online or go on social media.
I can listen to music in different ways, depending on how I focus on the music, or song. If I really let the song in, it will become a "worm", and it will play again and again on its own in my mind, sometimes up to for a week. It's pure torture.
I'm not a weird person... okay everyone is weird in their own way. ^^'
- My significant other and I were able to see and hear people and animals that others couldn't when we were younger.
- I have random emotional breakdowns.
- I have went through most of my life not speaking and because of that I'm too soft-spoken and can't output enough sound. As a result, people have trouble making out what I say.
- I can't seem to laugh. I'm trying to learn, but it's so hard.
- I could sort of pop my jaw lightly and can't open mouth wide enough. I might have TMJ. T^T
- I'm afraid of the dark.
- I'm not afraid of dying anymore since my SO passed away, I just want it to be painless and quick when it happens.
- I'm scared of horror stuff, but still watch horror stuff.
- I have learned lots of skills, but master of none.
- I can goes days without sleep.
- I like to travel, but I stay indoors all the time.
- I need computer and internet to survive. XD
- I can sense the presence of bugs and pests near me without even seeing them.
- I'm scared of bugs and pests, but can't bring myself to kill them.
- I like music with mysterious lyrics, maybe in a language I'm not too familiar with.
- I'm too generous leaving me open to being taken advantage off. This happens too often... *looks at family*
- I have trouble saying "no" to people.
I think I'll stop there.
heh, the water wipers (page 2) would go nuts. I step out of the shower and into my sandals wet; then I sit at my desk in my towel for about 15 minutes before finishing and getting dressed.
I haven't used a hair dryer in so long, I can't even guess. (I hate hair dryers).
I eat out a lot, but I almost always get the exact same things from the different places (Bacon Cheeseburger and fries with honey mustard: Wendy's, BK, Sheetz. Orange Chicken with fired rice from our Chinese restaurant).
I've always been able to pop my jaw too. It's led to some TMJ (so, be careful, LucidBunnie!). I also pop every joint in my hands (my thumbs pop 3 times weirdly enough); my elbows, wrists, ankles, toes, back, neck, and hips. I can sublux my shoulder joints at will.
I've carried around baby wipes (lightly soaked in rubbing alcohol) since 1998 and almost always have one in a hand (unless I'm chilling at my desk). I don't think everything is germy though. I just don't like my hands feeling dirty or sweaty.
I wake up most mornings with songs playing in my head.
I'm not a fan of lucid dreaming. I enjoy them when I get them but I don't like working for them. I enjoy deciphering what my subconsciousness is processing.
:crying: b-b-b-b-b-but the floor... there's gonna be w-wa-water on it! And what about your towel... it'll take hours to dry!
But no. I actually used to do this too. Now my bathroom is too small for it, but I used to sit in a chair in the bathroom in my towel after showers, or just lay on the warm tiles. I could stay that way for a long time, mostly because I have a serious daydreaming problem:chuckle: I WOULD WIPE FIRST THOUGH!!
For lucidbunnie:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEfZG9OSytA
Also I put sriracha(chilli sauce) on my peanutbutter sandwiches to make it taste like the peanut sauce you get in thailand.
When I step out of the shower, I step into my sandals right away. No water on the floor :smitten:
:cackle: :cackle: That video was great!
I didn't laugh out loud for a long time because someone once told me (when I was a little kid) that I sound like a goat when I do.
I still don't tend to belly laugh. I usually just sort of chortle. As I've gotten older, I laugh a little more and I've developed a snort every now and then :roll: Great. I went from goat to pig :chuckle:
haha. I wonder how many percent of the people on earth are self-conscious about their laughs... I would guess it's a pretty high number, laughing is just such a weird concept... which is great, the human response to something funny is something that is also funny:chuckle: I love when that creates a loop of laughter. I work at a lot of conferences, live shows... people talking about stuff on a stage... I remember a psychologist, really down to earth quirky guy, very likeable. He would start laughing at his own horrible jokes, and then he just couldn't stop. And he had an amazing laugh, it kind of sounded shy, like he was trying to surpress it, but couldn't do it and then found that funny. So after 15-20 seconds the audience would start laughing too, even if they hadn't even smiled at the initial joke. Several times it turned into more than a minute of the whole audience, hundreds of people, in a professional setting, screaming and laughing their hearts out at nothing in particular. It was beautiful and I'll never forget it. I wonder if he did it on purpose, being a psychologist and all.
My laugh is that I huff air out of my nose a couple of times and then make a little groaning sound when I'm breathing back in, and if I'm not done laughing by that point it builds into a more vocal laugh.. I think maybe it's because I laugh a lot, and if I was louder I wouldn't be able to hear whatever I find funny over my own laugh, and I would interupt the conversation too much. But sometimes I laugh ordinary HAHA really loud and I surprise myself. Usually when something turns out to be way funnier than I thought it would be.
I guess I may have used to laugh when I was very little. I was and still am very shy so I might have become self-conscious of it when someone commented on it. I read that children have natural capacity to laugh. That reminds me I'm naturally left-handed but an uncle would force me to keep using right-hand saying I would have trouble with stuff when I grew up otherwise. It had some adverse effects such as anxiety spikes and speech impairment. Now I'm right-handed, but I can use my left-hand just as well. ^^
Moral of the story? let children be children and don't force habits. XD
Now I kind of wish I had an uncle that made me learn to use my left hand... I want to be ambidextrous too:| But only if he was nice about it...
I'm ambidextrous too.
Apparently, people refer me as an enigma.
Oh I can name a few things. I have a funnel chest (a dip in my chest),one of my ears is attached and the other one is detached, I didn't cry when I was born,I can twist my hand 360° around,my birth is within 3 minutes of the world record for the shortest time in labor (that IS apparently true).
1. I don't like social media that much.
2 I'm one of those people who have many lucid dreams a night since I've was five.
I've been on dream sites for almost thirty years. Nothing special, there's many others. Some members here post phenomenal amazing explanations about dreams. It really blows my mind. However, my point, I'm not sure I've exactly learned much more about lucid dreams. Imagine someone flew in a time machine from 1990 to present day then replied 'what's new with lucid dreams' would they be impressed? I consider it weird, perhaps I'm just pessimistic.
It's not about finding anything new (At least for me it's all straight forward and simple practice people like to over complicate with too many ILDs and tutorials.) Unless maybe you're just a beginner just learning about it all and having your first experiences. It's more about sharing experiences with like minded people that enjoy the practice of lucid dreaming, and connecting with others that actually understand what it's like. Because it's not the same talking about it with random people that don't have a clue what kind of amazing experience lucid dreaming is. And to help maintain motivation, and to find motivating inspiration during dry spells. Also, a place to keep a journal.
Weird thing about me. I've been living in a tent, in my living room. And I hate coming out unless I have to. Especially since my dog, and dearest most loved and cherished friend died in January.
I'm not the best at predicting how what I say will be perceived by other people. This leads to many misunderstandings, always to my surprise! I'm also very clumsy, physically. I feel like Calamity Jane, all the time. :)
- I like doing chemical synthesis with all sorts of stuff, mostly toxic or even more toxic stuff since physics have decided that all interesting chemistry wants to eat either your blood, enzymes that transport oxygen into your body or just turn your lungs into something that resembles a burnt pizza, or any other way that you don't want to die.
- I can't go outside for whatever reason. I get really dizzy and just don't feel comfortable anymore, so I am barely outside, unless for school.
- I look at cursed images as another hobby.
- I pray to my meme gods, a jar of magic sauce called most commonly sus or suus, the letter E and the corresponding E lord, grand dad and also the elusive jooj
- I roleplay in worlds created by me with my friends as all sorts of things, which you could say is a weird hobby.
People whom I've met online often think I'm much, much older than I actually am. Maybe that's not weird to someone else, but I always find it surprising myself. :P
Can't drink Pepsi... I don't like the taste of it. Not much of a fan of condiment on my sweet potato fries. There is a way I will make my fries that your won't need anything else on them.
Can't stand Vaseline on my skin, ever since I was little. I recall one time being at a camp, a Theater camp where we were supposed to make masks, and I felt like I was suffocating, I broke out after that.
I tried to be a sport about it but, it was very uncomfortable.
It took me into my 30s to realize that, my whole life, I had been pronouncing the word "argument" wrong. Apparently, the g is not silent??
Whelp, I'm otherkin now, specifically dragonkin. Had the feelings my whole life but I guess I just didn't pay attention until now. So that's another very weird thing about me: I don't identify as human.
+ I'm a Starseed, but I somehow lost my memories of what I need to do here. I'm in a process of Reawakening since my Seven birthday, but the process is slow.
+ I love to ask all kinds of questions, all the time.
It's quite the opposite actually, a starseeker seems to seek for new worlds or stars, on other hand a starseed is:Quote:
Star people (also known as starseeds and sometimes indigo children) is a concept from ancient cultures of the world fringe theory. Introduced by Brad Steiger in his 1976 book Gods of Aquarius,[1] it argues that certain people originated as extraterrestrials and arrived on Earth through birth or as a walk-in to an existing human body. It is a variant of the belief in alien-human hybrids.[2] There are many different beliefs as to the origins of star people or starseeds.[3] The term "star people" was taken from an existing Native American spiritual concept.[4]
The wikipedia explanation is the most simple one and you can start your own research from there.
I'm not sure why are you comparing the indigenous people of the Americas versus Indigo Children's:uhm:Quote:
I actually have people in my family tree history who were indigenous btw, a Princess. Someone married her. ;) But, she died of the black Plague. It is a long story.
I thought you answered my question. Then I shared something about my family heritage, Okay?;)
Okey, just the separation between questions and sharing was confusing ^^
Cool!
I found out last year, exactly on MLK day, that I am descended from slaves who came from the Congo. My dad has the same DNA. It's only 1.5% for me, but I just thought that was so cool. :)
Edit: Not weird, really, I guess. It was weird to me, or at least unexpected :)
Mostly just curious. What made you realise or think about this only recently?
One weird thing about me is that when I was a child I had, what I now think could have been called a synaesthesia, which allowed me to literally feel "touch" of objects I wasn't nowhere near to such as faraway buildings, cars, etc. I only needed to look at the objects for this sensation to occur but I guess it was simulated really, because the sensation was relative to the perceptual size of the objects from my point of view.
I honestly don't know if this counts? My parents' neighbor's house is built over a grave- tomb. I guess that this can be put in the category under "weird". The house used to be part of our property. Our house is over 200 years old. ;) When I was about little, I used to run around the house.
Maybe its weird that i can't clearly define what is weird. :D
Perhaps what's weird is that i'm in a lucid dream forum and yet have no interest in lucid dreaming.
I just decided to see if there were more people like me, and, since I had heard the word otherkin at some point, it jumped into my memory and I looked it up. Found a community, then noticed that lots of stuff there was relatable. And then I suddenly had species dysphoria, worse than in my whole life, and now it's a constant subject for me, so I came out in a lot of places. Here, I just came out since I thought that it might be fitting to the thread.
I was born with anisocoria, one of my pupils is smaller or bigger than the other but, only slightly.
