We all have weird quirks that are fairly uncommon, to say the least. For the fear of being judged, we keep these weird things to ourselves; however, that doesn't stop us from being curious about what others have to hide.

So, to indulge in this secret knowledge, X (formerly Twitter) user @drakesbrother started a thread asking people to share their bad habits, weird confessions, and interesting things they do. The thread was quickly flooded with the strangest habits. 

Turns out, lots of us have funny habits that make perfect sense to us but might seem odd to others. Something like when someone has to read the last page of a book before they can start it from the beginning. One thing’s clear: what seems like quirky habits to some of us is just another day in the office for others.

Some confessed to measuring how long something will take in songs, others said that each time they get in their car, they make sure no one is sitting in the back seat. While some of these weird things to do sound a little bit odd, let’s not pretend you don't relate. 

Scroll below for the list of confessions from regularly weird people, and don't forget to share your own strange habits in the comments.

    This is incredibly common. Everyone does this, actually. Intrusive thoughts. I tend to think “how much can I key this car”.

    Cupboard doors need to be closed when not in use. It's not that I won't necessarily be able to sleep, it's just why would they be open?

    When I was 4 in Florida we had no A/C in our house. I had 6 spots on my pillow that I could move my head around on until I had to flip it & have 6 more.

    Your preparing for something your afraid of. I do that too. I don't think it's harmful as long as you aren't obsessed by it and remember to keep enjoying moments and love ones to the fullest.

    I get stuck in this deep thinking where I think what actually happens when you die. Is there actually a heaven and hell? Reincarnation? Or is just like a dreamless sleep forever and ever and ever? Keeps me up most night just thinking about what happens when you die.

    Sadly me too. I don't necessarily believe in heaven or hell but I do believe in an afterlife. I've had too much weird stuff happen to me to believe there is nothing. To make a long story short there is a shop nearby that displays a name for the day for a free rose, one night shortly after losing my father I almost had a panic attack I honestly prayed for a sign. The next morning I drove by it and it said my mother's name, since it was early I checked it on the way home and it said my name. Maybe it's coincidence but I think it's more than that. Especially after the horrible night I had, it still comforts me about 10 years later.

    I do so to to the point when I'm not able to breath out of fear, anxitey and complete despair. I know it's not healthy, just can't help it. And then I panic I don't give enough attention to everyone.

    I used to do that when my dad's health was getting bad and I can tell you, no amount of "preparing" helps you cope when the s**t gets real and you will be caught off guard anyway no matter how "ready" you think you are. Try to let it go and enjoy the time you have...

    its actually a good thing!...knowing that death is the last thing a person encounters,it only makes u stronger deep inside....maybe its a way of telling that u need to think more about what life has to offer(b4 u die)...be good,do good and see good!!fear of death makes u love life more!!

    every now and again, I'll drift off to sleep in bed and right at the moment where my body is in complete relaxation and I'm about to fall... my mind goes "you're gonna die someday" and I develop a massive panic attack and I start to freak out and become unable to sleep for a good two to three hours after that. It sucks.

    I do that too... less if I'm fine, but still. And sometimes I think geeees, one day e.g. my parents will be gone and while I had them I spent our precious time w/ thinking about their deaths. That helps me to let go the thoughts sometimes.

    my dog had to be put down a couple days ago. he lived for a WHILE! i remember coming home from school in 5’th grade and expecting him to be dead! also i’m not very sad by the concept of death. It’s completely natural and VERY fair! if you catch yourself saying “take me instead” don’t worry, your time will come eventually. But just like you shouldent be sad by takin a s**t, death isn’t something to get all worked up about. I’m not saying don’t be sad by death, you can still be sad and mourn the loss of a loved one, i’m just saying don’t think it’s the end of the world or not fair.

    I think about it because I never cry and want to finally get all my feelings out. but now I can't do it anymore because I can't summon the tears anymore, I've gotten used to the idea of it happening so it hardly effects me

    After sitting by my uncle's bedside and watching him die, I had massive anxiety attacks about death. But now that I have bad high blood pressure, I'm like cool with it. Okay, I'll probably die quickly of a heart attack. Okay.

    As much as you think you're prepared for a death, when it happens, you sometimes don't react the way you thought you would. I just think no matter what happens, I will find a way to cope, get support and help if I need it. Can't be too proud to ask for help. I've lost both parents, 3 out of 4 grandparents and 2 very close friends to cancer. Every time I reacted differently. The worst was my paternal grandmother- we were very close.

    True Christians don't worry about what happens after death. (Maybe just what kind of death we'll have.) Check out the Bible.

    I think about my next dog passing away and it kills me, i get into thinking about it and can't stop until i am utterly sad, i don't know why, maybe because of how painful it has been losing the others, i don't know. My own death i am absolutely fine with, my mortality doesn't bother me, i know i will die one day.

    I did this too... until I lost 2 brothers, a father and a grandmother in the space of 2 years. All that preparation was a complete waste of time. It is physically impossible to prepare yourself for how you will actually deal with it in reality.

    The older I get, the more aware I am of my own mortality. Once you see the first obituary of someone you went to school with, even if they died relatively young, it hits you like a ton of bricks.

    Maybe a good way to prepare yourself for something that you will never be fully prepared for when it happens.
