I'm in a war with myself. A little voice in my head is always calling me a ungrateful, attention seeking, show off. And the other little voice, me, is always trying to solve my problems but that other voice is just like: "you are so dumb and annoying, why do you even bother....you should just stop being an attention seeker and actually be grateful that you aren't homeless." It hurts so bad and it annoys the crap out of me.

I tend to over apologize for the smallest things, even if it's something that wasn't my fault to begin with. I think it's partially because I have Asperger's syndrome and partially because my father sometimes becomes extremely upset over small things and I don't want to upset him.

I like to narrate my life? I dunno, at random times in the middle of a lesson I'll mutter "Noelle (my name) rubs her knee from where she hit it on the absurdly small desks just a minute ago" and everyone will give me a weird look. I do it all the time. Have no idea why. It annoys everyone around me.

I bang tables and my legs as if they were a drumset without anyone agreeing to it. I know it annoys some people, but I've never actually heard someone say it personally. I don't know, I just like music.

Well, I have tourette's, so you can imagine how many annoying things I do. But I'll only share 2 of them to spare you from reading all that.

Number one: I'm not sure if this is annoying or just weird to my family, but they definitely comment on it from time to time. Sometimes, when my ears are really cold, I'd rub my ears with my nails (not the tip, the part you scratch with, but with the backs of the nails, the parts you'd use nail polish on). I guess I just like the feeling of my cold, smooth ear on my nails. Most of the time, I just do it for a few seconds, and then I'm just bored of it. But other times, I do it excessively. I'd do it for minutes at a time, and I keep switching which hand touches which ear. I honestly have no idea why I do it, lol.

Number two: Sometimes I get really finicky, as I like to call it, because I do a ton of my tourette's habits at once. I don't have severe tourette's, so I don't twitch or do anything big like that. Just smaller things, like "laughing" or cracking my knuckles. The reason I put "laughing" in quotation marks is because it's not really laughing per se, but rather letting out air in a way that you would do laughing. I just go "Hhh." or grunt a little or something like that because it's like an uncontrollable urge that my throat has occasionally. If you have tourette's, you understand.
I also have mild OCD, so that really helps when I'm finicky. I'd accidentally kick something, and end up kicking it multiple times with both feet to make sure both of my legs get their sudden energy out. It's probably annoying for both me and everyone around me.

without having Tourette, the trick of the nails on the cold ears, I do, I think that comforts me (I have been deaf since childhood). otherwise I had a kind of click with the tongue which apparently is painful to others. I don't no longer realize it. I think that if we know what we are capable of, the most important things is done, we are aware of our fails !! 😝

I can't drink a lot of liquid since I have the bladder that is the size of a literal pea, but I still drink lots of water anyways, which sadly results in me going to the toilet every 15 minutes and not only me, but my friends find it annoying too. They never miss a chance to tease me about it.

Before leaving the house, I check thoroughly all the items that I'm carrying: I think it relates to my Aspergers, because when I'm out and about I'm always checking to see if I've dropped something. Yes, it’s tiresome.

This annoys my family a lot, I can never moderate my voice level. For example when I’m talking to someone who is like a couple of inches away from me I for some reason I have to yell and when I’m told to lower my voice I for some reason have a hard time to lower my voice and most likely my voice doesn’t lower.
Another annoying thing about me is that I always apologize for every little mistake even if the mistake is not even that important, like when I burnt bacon in an air fryer.

Sometimes if i’m talking to someone, and we just run out of things to say, i’ll start whispering to myself “scarlet, say something wtf why can’t you talk” it annoys everyone around me. also, if i’m having a bad day, or just super anxious i will legit just get up and walk away from whatever i’m doing (i did this in virtual math class once) and just pace back and forth and tell myself “Scarlet calm down stop being useless you need to stop” most of the time i don’t even remember why i suddenly hate myself so much after doing this, but if i do it in a small space, my pacing gets faster because there’s not much room to pace, and then i start panicking. this doesn’t happen around people often, but it annoys me, because it just makes my anxiety and self-loathing worse. sorry for ranting, i didn’t mean to make this so long.

I have a few annoying habits that I can think of, I am sure there are more but here we go. I have a habit of leg bouncing, when I am sitting down whether it is in the car, at the table or on the couch etc. Most of the time I am not aware I am doing it until someone says the car is vibrating or the table is shaking etc. I am a serial apologist and constantly ask “are you sure”, which I get told off for lol. Apparently there is such thing as TOO polite. I also annoy myself and hubby when we are trying to sleep coz I suffer from Willis-ekbom disease AKA Restless leg syndrome, I can’t control the leg movements. I have been suffering with it since I was 15 and for the past 2 years it has gotten exceptionally worse, my restless legs now act up on car rides, bus trips, watching tv and it has even started to effect my hands. It is extremely frustrating and annoying, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Look into "sensory seeking", things like sitting on a wobble cushion or wrapping an elastic exercise band around the chair legs to push your feet on can really help

I eat crackers, chips, and all kinds of other foods while sitting on my bed. No matter how careful I am there's usually at least a few crumbs in the sheets afterwards. I live alone so there's no one to complain, but it annoys me that I'm so messy. I like eating at the computer too much to stop though, so until I get a desk or couch to sit at I'll have to deal with it.

I am graphic designer and a pen clicker. I will click a pen or open and snap shut a marker and not even realize I am doing it. When I was working the office (we are work from home now), my coworkers would just show up in my doorway staring at me because I had been clicking or snapping and didn't even realize it. Luckily my dog doesn't mind.

I'm a procrastinator; I'm getting better at not being one. It has helped to put up a schedule of things that need to be done daily and it's working so far. Only been 1 week but I sleep allot better knowing I've accomplished at least 1 thing if not 5 in a day. Oh, and I stopped watching Netflix until I'm done with my to do list.

Going through doorways resets your brain. A trick I learned: think of what you need to do or get, make the sign language sign for the first letter of the task or item, and hold the sign in your hand until you've done it. (I.e. I need a glass of water, make the W sign, go to the kitchen. Why I am here? Check hand: it starts with a W. Oh yeah, water.)

Self-sabotage. I always felt I have two personalities, one who is clever, talented, hard-working, makes plans for the future, dreams about successful, happy life and carrier - and the other one who stops doing these things at the last minute before I can reach those successes.

I have multiple things, but what I'm terrible about is interrupting people. I have ADHD and just get excited or think someone is done talking (but they're not done). Worse, when I interrupt, it's usually to tell a similar story that the other person has just reminded me of. It's my attempt to relate to people, but is really just annoying.

Oh, here's another one. Sometimes when I talk to people I switch out of the blue into a "story telling" mode. For example I am talking to my friend about a movie. All of a sudden I start talking as if I am repeating the conversation to someone else. Like "and then I told her...." while speaking to the same person. It's embarrassing 😳
