It's more like what I don't do: I don't establish habits when interacting with other people. For example I don't go buy coffee at the same place every day. Even if there is a place I like and I'm passing next to it every day I will mix it up a bit. Not go some days or change the order. The only reason is for the people in the store not to notice that I have a habit. I think they would think it's weird. And it's not like I have some social phobia. I make friends and interact with people normally. It's just this one thing: a fear that a shopkeeper will say "the same as always?". No, you don't know what I want. You don't know me at all!

I just realised that I probably wouldn’t realise it was strange, I might have to ask someone who knows me

I need at least 3 pillows for sleeping comfortably. Doesn't matter if I even actually touch them, but I do need them just in case. One primary chonky one, and 2 slimmer ones to adjust height and etc.

If I have just about any kind of bread, I have an irresistible urge to dip it in liquid. Specifically, chocolate milk, apple juice, or certain types of soup. Peanut butter sandwiches too, but not in soup lol. Well, maybe?

It started in kindergarten. Every morning I'd eat breakfast at school: chocolate milk, cereal, and a biscuit. Chocolate milk goes in the cereal, eat cereal, then dip the biscuit in the milk in the bowl. This continued through fifth grade. I was pretty anti-social to begin with, but this weird quirk scared away any would-be friend who tried to sit with me. Heh.

Never grew out of it though. Now I just do it when nobody's looking. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I always read out loud. Always. And I do most of my readings while walking. So I imagine hearing me waking around taking to myself make other people think 'wtf?'.

So apparently my girlfriend thinks it's weird my family keeps a knife in the toilet. You know, just in case it doesn't flush down. I thought everybody did this.

Nothing to add, just wanted to say @[email protected] this is an excellent post!

I say something unique to myself (like the date or something I'm working on today) when I lock the door, so that I can think back to that moment later in the day and remember that I locked the door. Otherwise I start worrying about if I locked the door or not.
