I have a habit of always, always, always looking down when I'm walking. I think it's probably mostly because I'm a vampire-geek and the sun hurts my eyes. Normally, I don't notice it, but I did today and thought it was a bit strange. I also always feel the need to wash my hands; almost every hour, they start to feel all tingly and kind of just 'ick' so I have to go wash them. Does anyone else do something unconsciously that would like to share it?

When I draw expressions, I tend to make the face that I'm drawing. I have no clue why, and my friends always say "MOE! Stop making faces!" It's amusing but sometimes when people see that and don't know what I'm doing think I'm a freak. xD

Hmmm.... I almost constantly speak in either quotes or rephrasings of what someone else has said, except when I'm writing, that's all me, thankfully.

I have certain words that I catch myself using way too often. The ones that I can think of at the moment are "basically," "although," "particularly," and probably about ten more that I can't think of at the moment. I don't know if it's actually noticeable to other people, but it bothers me a lot whenever I notice it. -_-
I know I constantly use the same kinds of hand gestures as well, but I honestly don't realize when I'm doing that. xD

I also constantly mess with my hair in the front, but that's more a result of the fact that it won't stay out of my face than anything.

Oh, and apparently I hold my books in a strange way, according to some people. Although, I'm not certain that any of these really count in the first place...

Well, it's things you do unconsciously that you only notice yourself sometimes, so anything counts!!

I also just noticed I have a habit of biting the inside of my lips and cheeks (that soft, fleshy part), I do it a lot when I'm thinking . . . I think. I never realize until it's all chewed up and I'm thinking 'Oh! Did it again' :sweat:

I unconsciously fiddle with my pen every time I am done with a seat work/quiz. I don't know, it's just a habit, I guess. But I always finish quickly, almost always first. But it's not only those times but whenever our teacher dictates questions and we write the answers, every time I finish writing and waiting for the next questions I do it. In the state of my body fiddling with the pen my mind is elsewhere in my little fairytale. I also do this during class time. I just stare at the book and the teacher would think I'm actually listening. I don't like this habit, it's distracting me from my schoolwork. But if you look carefully, it's almost 60% daydreaming, 40% doing school activities every day. It's just a problem I can not fix, and I have a hard time doing so. I mean, even in writing I space out.

I hate to leave the house without brushing my teeth. I also need to brush my teeth after everything I eat (if I don't I feel self-conscious) so I carry a travel toothbrush and small tube of toothpaste in my handbag at all times.

I also count everything I do into groups of four. The number of steps I take, the number of times I chew on each side of my mouth, the number of bites I take, the number of times I brush my hair etc. If it doesn't divide equally by four, it annoys the hell out of me.

Oh, and when I read anything, I have to pick out particular words (preferably words that contain letters that are equally divisible by four) and spell out the letters in reverse alphabet (a=z, b=y, c=x etc.)
So, for example, the OP's username would be MvplHzir.
That's just a little game I play in my head that has turned into kind of a habit.

XDD I do the EXACT same thing.

It's really funny when I'm drawing these really angry or psychotic looking characters, people kind of just look at me and then look away as fast as they can XD

...except for some of my closest friends that just check to see what I'm drawing, go "ohh,ok", and let me get back to it XD

I've noticed I also have a habit of popping every single one of my fingers when I wash my hands (they have to be soapy).

That's awesome. And when I draw chibi's with their lips all puckered out like a 3, I do the same thing. I remember one person saying "Aw...She wants to kiss the paper" xD

I crack my knuckles and my neck all the time. And i recentally had 4 of my molars pulled so i always find that im using my tounge to see what the holes feel like. I also shake my leg a lot, like bounce it up and down, but only when im bored or hyper.

XDDD Niiice.

Forgot to mention earlier, but your sig is amazing *A*

I pinch people when I'm nervous and when they look at me to say their "Ouch! what's your problem?", they find it odd that I'm expressionless/emotionless. Why? :/ Should I make faces when I'm nervous? I'm too busy overcoming my nerves to make up faces, I don't even have time to explain these things to them... because I'm nervous to the point that I'm wishing I could just dissolve or melt or explode or ... :x
