We all have our fair share of quirks. Some are out in the open, while others manifest when no one's around. But here's the thing: these hidden peculiarities are more common among many people than you think. 

All 2.8 million members of the ME IRL subreddit would know. This massive online group features posts about overthinking, odd procrastination habits, and anxious yet funny daily life moments. 

We've compiled some of the best and most comical screenshots from the page. As you keep scrolling, you may discover you are not alone with your idiosyncrasies - many of which have become popular memes.

    According to experts, these quirks give us a good idea of a person's true nature. Psychiatrist Dr. Christine B. L. Adams dismisses personality tests like the Myers-Briggs personality type test as "a bunch of hooey." 

    In an interview with Reader's Digest, she suggests looking into nuanced actions to gauge someone's personality.

    What are these subtle actions, you may ask? It comes down to the way you write emails, for one. Dr. Adams associates messages predominantly written using the first-person POV as a possible narcissistic trait. On the other hand, she links lengthy emails to either a sense of energy or neediness.

    This is my life since I moved to hill country after living in a flat, sea level state for 40 years. I've gotten pretty good at finding secluded places to huff & puff to reinflate my poor lungs.

    While it may not be as subtle, how someone walks also says much about who they are. As keynote speaker and body language expert Dr. Carol Kinsey Goman pointed out, people who “power walk” and move with a measured stride are often confident and socially adept. 

    Meanwhile, someone who moves with a slumped and caved-in posture is more likely to be self-conscious and tends to be lost in their thoughts.

    Many people have nervous tics, whether constant throat clearing, nose wrinkling, or rapid blinking. When it comes to body-focused repetitive behaviors, there is more than meets the eye. 

    Research has found that traits like hair-pulling, nail-biting, and skin-picking are possible signs of perfectionism. Such actions are believed to be manifestations of stress brought on by having such high standards.

    Arriving at a commitment is usually a judgment indicator of your respect for the person you’re meeting. According to Dr. Adams, punctuality may indicate a people-pleasing personality. It is also seen as a sign of conscientiousness and agreeability.

    Conversely, she says that often arriving late could be a sign of self-focus. She also noted that habitual tardiness and arriving way too early are plausible symptoms of ADHD.

    Do you prefer to dress simply? Or are you more into extravagant, flashy clothing? According to a study published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, those who answer the latter may deal with potential self-esteem issues and insecurities. 

    In the same vein, recent studies have shown that those who enjoy indulging in expensive items may feel less confident and powerful. Experts describe it as the “imposter syndrome from luxury consumption.” Here, they feel undeserving of expensive things, which often leads to feelings of inauthenticity.

    Now, we’d like to hear from you, dear readers. Which of these quirks are you guilty of, too? Do you see yourself in any of these posts? Or perhaps you know someone else? Let’s liven up the comments!

    When the pandemic hit, I was already a stay at home mom living in an isolated town. My husband was still working through all of it, so nothing changed much for me. I would stay home for a week at a time and didn't have to feel bad about it!

    I actually have had to experiment twice to see if I do have a ringtone. The first time I got my mate to ring me, and it wouldn't make noise, so I assumed I didn't have one. When I mentioned that to my grandma, she just kept ringing me until I realised that I had it set to vibrate first. It's so rare that my phone is on anything other than vibrate though.

    Back then I was a regular on a website where you had a list of friends and you could always see who was online (unless said friend decided to log in a s invisible). Whenever I logged in a couple of minutes later one friend, who was also online every day, would message me : " Hey, you online?" I usually answered : " Nah, you are just seeing things. 😉"

    My mother left a party in their block of flats to use the loo in her own flat. Coming back through her bedroom she thought she'd just have a teeny tiny little nap before returning to the party. Unfortunately cellular blankets leave a waffle pattern on your cheek.
