Hello, fellow Pandas, we all have some sort of habit—some of us might even have some weird or strange ones. That's exactly what I want to know about. Tell us about what unexpected or unusual habit you have. What do you do that people are weirded out by? How long have you had it? How did you get into that habit?

Playing with and pulling out my hair. I do it subconsciously; I have a condition called trichotillomania, or hair-pulling disorder. Basically, a person pulls out their hair as a result of extreme social anxiety. Eventually they get bald spots, leading to even more anxiety, leading to more hair pulling. It's a downward spiral that is hard to escape. You may think "Oh, a few strands isn't that bad, right?" Wrong. It is NEVER a few strands. Yes it is one strand at a time, but it can pile up to be hundreds. And no, we can't stop just because someone asked us to. Even if we don't do it consciously, it works into a habit that we can't control. I've tried to stop and I cant.

1) Everytime I go for a walk and see a pride flag/pride related thing, I text a photo to my best friend (we're both LGBTQ+)

2) I narrate everything that is happening. Like, my dad will walk in and say "There is no celery left for dinner" and I mutter "The father comes in and announces the absence of celery for [my name]'s dinner. She looks at hims sadly and and says that she regrets the loss of celery, even though her father is oblivious to the fact that she hates celery and is therefore very pleased."

I crack my fingers. Like a lot. It's really turning into a problem (not really). I've gotten to the point where I can crack every single one of my knuckles. Not just the ones closest to your hand; EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. It's really satisfying though. Sometimes I don't even realize I'm doing it.

I get short term obsessive about things. At the moment it's cookbooks. Before that it was sewing. Before that it was growing chillies. Sometimes I cycle back. But not often. I can't seem to maintain interest in anything longer than a few months.

I love to cosplay. my family thinks it's weird but they got used to me coming out of my room with a face of makeup on or in a costume. I've been doing it a lot and my makeup skills are getting really good and I am working on a new cosplay from MHA. I spend a lot of money on my cosplays and I am really excited to get the new one. My new cosplay is for Deku and my friend is getting a shigaraki cosplay and we are gonna chill at the mall after covid.

Ok, two things:

1. For some reason, I love reading out loud. I think that just hearing my own voice as I read helps me take the information in better and understand whatever I'm reading more, even though I don't even use my voice, I mostly whisper. Sometimes, I try to say everything perfectly as I'm reading aloud to make it sound like I'm recording my voice for an audio book. Most of the time I have to reread because I was focusing more on saying things perfectly rather than what I'm reading.

2. Recently, I've been non-stop whispering words. Like, if I read a joke, I would say the very last word of the joke and then laugh out loud. Or say words that I'm reading that I think are really satisfying to say (actually, sometimes I choose the word of the day, which is just a word that I really like to say. For example, two days ago, the word was "bright", and the word today is "fondant"). My mom is constantly like "[Name], could you please stop talking to yourself? I keep losing focus because I think you're talking to me, and then realizing you're just talking to yourself, and having to restart what I was doing." XD

I have a lot. My mother thinks it is OCD. Can't sit on a seat with an uneven number in cinemas etc. Volumes of TV etc have to be an even number, too. My knives, forks and spoons are arranged in the drawer, as are my socks and underwear. There are more...but the one that annoyes me is that I have to tap my pocket when I leave the house. I put the keys in my pocket, tap tap tap, go to the door, tap tap tap, open the door, tap tap tap, go out of the door, tap tap tap, close the door, TAP TAP TAP. Like, really? Why do I tap after closing the door, if was not there it would be too late!

I literally cannot leave a dry erase marker without a cap. Even if it has already run out of ink, I wonder if it might have some left in the bottom part. Needless to say, my family finds this very irritating. I also take extremely good care of my white board. Did you know that each time you touch your white board with your bare skin the marks on the white board are harder to erase? I never touch it and extremely enforce this rule when my white board is borrowed. (I THINK my whiteboard is shiny.) Anyways, I think you can see my weird habit in this long description.

#1) I have a brother that I haven't seen since he was born and he is about 11-12. I will constantly daydream me taking him around, when I'm an adult, and showing him our 11 other siblings and telling him their personalities.

#2) I peel my lip because it's satisfying. It usually bleeds.

#3) I clean my house, friends houses, animal cages, kitchens, kids rooms, and anything else but my room. I find it fun unless it's my room. For someone who likes to clean, it's the dirtiest place in the house.

SOOOOO. I like to imagine myself in different movies or books being one of the characters. For some strange reason, I walk around the house mumbling things that nobody can understand.

I walk around the house over and over again and when I stop, I just continue doing whatever I was doing before. Problem is, I might be eating breakfast and just stop to do it. I didn't even notice I was doing it until my brother asked me what I was doing.

whenever I'm bored(and sometimes when I'm not) if I'm on a floor with any sort of patterns, I immediately start pacing/orbiting around the room, walking a certain way on the pattern, like maybe I can only step on the yellow lines or I have to keep my feet going the same way as the carpet grain, etc.

When I am reading a good book and I'm alone in the room, I tend to pause and act out scenes in the book. by myself.

This isn't really a habit, but in the week before and during my period if I see a picture/video of any guy who is even remotely good looking, my brain says "they're hot!" so of course, I have to stop what I'm doing and go "WHAT? Where did THAT come from?" and scold myself. It's annoying. and the weirdest part is that sometimes it happens with girls too. I'm straight. I have absolutely no attraction to girls about 95% of the time.

I completely relate to the third habit! I can't recall if it's ever happened to me with other girls, but I honestly think it's something to do with our hormones around that time. I have a theory that because we ovulate the week before, we're subconsciously looking for someone attractive to, er, 'reproduce' with 😬 This would explain why we think it when we see a man we think is cute, I can't think of any explanation for thinking it about girls though.

I hurt myself, it makes me feel better. I use to be suicidal but I found somebody to love me but it was fake and later ended it on my birthday over text so I went back to it but family fond out and took away all my weapons, talked, and got me my real love. a puppy. but I love him just not like a soulmate so I confessed but no luck. I began to beat myself up but stopped when I saw my dog hiding in the corner. And i was good for a while but now i have sudden urges and thoughts of blood and murder. I plan out everything. A master plan, but then I look at my puppy and stop but I need some advice for help..

If I eat a chocolate bar like a Twix or a Kit-Kat, I never just eat it in the normal way. I always chew the chocolate off the edges first until the inner part of the bar is exposed, then I finish it off. I've done this for as long as I can remember, & I don't even know why I started in the first place.

Also, if I'm in a shop & there's several items on the shelf, sometimes I'll take the item behind the one nearest to me. I got this habit from my mum as she does the same. If I'm selecting food that has a use by or best before date, I look for the one with the longest date - every time.

If I'm watching TV or a film, the volume has to be either at an even number or a multiple of five, no exceptions. Again, I've picked this up from my mum.

I'm weird I know 🤷‍♀️

I do the first 2 of these as well. I always believe the items further back are better because less people will have been touching them. Also if I am in a shop and I see things of different colours sitting together I always rearrange them in the same order as the colours of the rainbow i.e. red, orange, yellow, green. blue, indigo and violet as I am obsessed with rainbows.

Every single packet of crisps (chips) that I eat, I have to fold the empty packet into a neat little triangle (like how one would fold up a note to pass to someone). I even do it with the empty multipack bags. Never do it with anything else, it doesn't work as well.

Sorry for another post but i just remembered another one, whenever I walk around I always have to take a even number of steps, or round it to 4-8. When i walk up the stairs EX.: It took me 13 steps to walk up the stairs, then i will walk around for a bit to get that number to 18 or 24. i don't know why, i guess i always liked even numbers.

I chewed my nails for YEARS. Ever since I was little. I tried EVERYTHING to stop: bitter polish, acrylics, painting them, etc, but nothing would stop me. I even chewed the acrylics off. What ended up working for me was I started carrying a pair of nail clippers with me EVERYWHERE. When I got the urge to chew because my uneven nail was a little too long, I'd clip it back. I'd also remind myself I didn't like how I ended up pulling them down to the quick when I chewed. It took a lot of time, but now I almost never bite my nails and I actually let them grow out some! Not very long because they break easily, but they're in much better shape now. Start by trimming them down as far as you can, and keep trimming them back when they grow out a little. Make a habit of keeping them trimmed first, then allow yourself to get used to them being longer than before, a little at a time.

Ok- so I have ADHD, (well, assumed ADHD I'm getting a test soon) but I stim whenever I'm happy, sad, mad, etc; but I also zone out for sometimes hours at a time. I normally need to be listening to music to be focused. I listen to music in class, when I'm sleeping, (it somehow helps me fall asleep), and really just anywhere, you'll find me listening to music.

If I have a writing utensil in my hand and a piece of paper in front of me I get this insane urge to start drawing and doodling. I dunno if this can be considered an "artist's instinct" cause my drawings aren't amazing but they're not awful either. Just one of my little ticks :)

I can’t sit against a wall without repeated banging my head into it. I also have skin-picking disorder, which I’m trying really hard to stop and I think I’m getting a lot better. I also sing really loudly while in the shower. Like, metal-screaming.

Probably the weirdest.. I'm like, obsessed with tickling. I'm super ticklish to the point you can't touch my sides, legs, or back. I don't talk about it, but I constantly think about it. I think one of the reasons is my friends are always tickling me (lol) but I'm not sure. It's really weird also because some people just have this vibe that I'm worried they'll tickle me. Any ideas? Maybe I'm just a weird person..

I have a few, to be honest. One of them is when I fall asleep, I have to have my big body pillow (supposed to be for my head) right next to me so I can cuddle it, and I roll up a blanket so it feels like the pillow is cuddling me back. Another (More recent) habit it that I turn on my speaker, lay on the floor with my head pressed against it, and the music on, mainly on 107.7, and I wake up with a red mark on my face.

Alright I feel like this is something kinda weird and im not sure who else does it... But whenever im in the passenger seat I look out the window and imagine like a cat or an Eevee or some kind of animal jumping through like obstacle courses. It sounds a bit stupid and babyish but I do it alot, so- I guess its a habit. :3

Mine has to do with aluminum cans. Before I open one, I blow on the top a couple times. After it's opened, I take a sip then press an indentation with my thumb, right under the opening. It's a holdover from 20 years of trucking, where I would want a drink but not take my eyes off the road. Just grab the can from the holder, put my thumb in the dent, and viola! no fumbling for the opening.

I crack All the joints on my fingers and toes. If I see anything of different colours I rearrange them so that the colours are in the same order as the colours of the rainbow as I am obsessed with rainbows. And I HATE going to bed. I just sleep in my chair instead. I usually only get about 2 hours sleep a night 3 at best. And I also try to avoid human contact. I hate being hugged even by members of my family and if someone tries to kiss me I feel like I'm being attacked, yet I love hugging my dog.

I talk/whisper to myself.
Basically, I make up hypothetical scenarios in my head and enact them out loud.
For example, I was thinking about how I would explain being able to tell the difference between twins, and before I knew it, I was whispering animatedly to myself, complete with hand gestures and everything. I didn't even realize!
What's weird is that I have these hypothetical conversations with myself with flawless speech, but when I talk to an actual person, I always mess up in various ways (eg. talking too fast or stuttering).

1) ok this one is gross, skip to 2) if you dont like gross things, but i have terrible dandruff and i like to sctratch my scalp, or put hard bristles of a comb to it, to see how much dandruff i can get off.

2) I like to know the backstory of nursery rhymes. for example, london bridge is falling down:The hypothesis that the song refers to the burying, or immurement, perhaps alive, of children in the foundations of the bridge was first advanced by Alice Bertha Gomme (later Lady Gomme) in The Traditional Games of England, Scotland and Ireland (1894–1898) and perpetuated by the usually sceptical Iona and Peter Opie.

3)i randomly go into my own world of imagination, usually when i'm bored. usually meeting anime shows like MHA, DEMON SLAYER, or NARUTO

4) when i have nothing else to do i knit.

I HAVE TO close my closet door every time I go to bed. I'm not scared of monsters or anything, it's just there is a closed secret trap-door type thing that leads to my small attic. At night I sometimes hear scratching and chittering from a squirrel or something on the other side of the trap door. It scares me if I hear it and am still awake. (I had to get rabies shots from a previous bat problem and should be immune for the next 5 years. There is no rational reason to close the door, but it helps me sleep better. (I'm also afraid of the dar, which makes matters way worse.)😅😅😅

Whenever I'm not using one of my hands, the free hand is shaking a pen/pencil. Like how people shake a pencil to make it look rubber. I've been doing this since I was very little, and have found that it's much harder for me to focus on work if I'm not shaking a pencil.

Also, at night, I pace back and forth in my room. I tend to get caught up in daydreams while I'm doing this and can pace back and forth for hours. I have ADHD and suspect both habits are related to the fact that I think best while moving.

I think other ppl do this too but I make up arguments in my head but never use them.

Also, when I was younger I had a very creative imagination so when I would turn off the light at night I believed that if I was touching my stuffed dog (that I had had since I was born) all the monsters and anything harmful would not be able to enter my neighborhood, therefore keeping me safe.
