Re: weird things you do

Note: I'm not actually paranoid.

Re: weird things you do
- For about 30 years now, whenever I'm riding in a car on the freeway, I will occasionally note a mileage sign with three fractional distances on it, and apply coefficients to each fraction such that the top and middle result will add up to equal the bottom result.
- This isn't as big of a deal in the wireless age, but I am a habitual telephone handset cord un-twister. - I've got that Gathering for Gardner paper dragon on my monitor at work, and I periodically sit here with one eye open, making sure the dragon "still works".

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I talk to myself pretty much continually throughout the day. I systematically tear styrofoam cups, slips of paper, anything useless and expendable and in front of me, really, to little shreds. I have an absurd oral fixation. I fidget with my hair constantly. [/ QUOTE ] I too, do these things. I'm always talking to myself. Especially when alone. I am also incapable of not shredding things (paper, labels etc...) I caught myself at the bar last week w/ some coworkers shredding the napkin and then rolling the shredded parts into tiny little balls. I have somewhat of an oral fixation. In that I chew the [censored] out of pens and straws. I got my tongue pierced thinking this would help. But it didnt. I have since taken it out 6 years later. My hair, I notice now that it's long, I'm always fidgeting w/it. Twirling it etc... [/ QUOTE ] Tenn, Similar psychoses? Sobering thought.

[ QUOTE ] I can't watch embarassing moments on TV especially on sitcoms...if a character gets in an embarassing situation I have to change the channel. One of the many reasons I can't watch Friends: that's the plot of every episode. [/ QUOTE ] wow I thought I was the only one who did this [/ QUOTE ] Wow, I have never heard of this. Ever. Can you people please provide an example of something that you recently could not watch?

I never made it all the way through that video (used to be on Ebaum's) of a college TV station, where the poor sports anchor just butcher's his segment. [/ QUOTE ]why? What happens to you guys if you watch it?

One of the many reasons I can't watch Friends: that's the plot of every episode. [/ QUOTE ] I'm the same exact way. When ever I see someone about to make a really big fool of themselves I flip the channel. [/ QUOTE ] That is so weird that you guys find this uncomfortable. Are all you guys who feel this way, also extremely shy and nervous??? [/ QUOTE ] I used to be very shy when I was younger, but have outgrown that. However, I tend to avoid putting myself in situations where I might feel out of place or uncomfortable (for instance, like going to a party where I won't know many people), and avoiding watching other people becoming uncomfortable is probably an extension of this.

Re: weird things you do
[ QUOTE ]
oh, and a thing I used to do when I was little: I'd always have to do everything with both sides of my body, I mean if I touched something with my left hand, I'd have to touch it with my right. If I scratched my left ear with my left hand, then I'd have to do right ear/right hand, then left ear/right hand, then right ear/left hand. I felt like I needed to "make it even" and it drove me insane if I didn't... thank Aba20 I got over that. [/ QUOTE ] I was kinda like this too when I was little. No clue why....stopped after a while though.

Often I'll change the channel and that come back to the show when I think the awkward situation is over. [/ QUOTE ] Uh...me too. Occasionally I'll say to myself "You idiot, it's not even real" and force myself to watch it, but I never enjoy it. Glad to know there are other freaks like me out there.
