Hello, fellow Pandas, we all have some sort of habit—some of us might even have some weird or strange ones. That's exactly what I want to know about. Tell us about what unexpected or unusual habit you have. What do you do that people are weirded out by? How long have you had it? How did you get into that habit?

Bored panda is about expressing your opinion. we all give bad opinions and we all give good opinions. As long as we keep it clean and reasonable then there is no probs. I have seen some people on here that are constantly down voted because of their attitudes and surprised they haven't been banned.

Playing with and pulling out my hair. I do it subconsciously; I have a condition called trichotillomania, or hair-pulling disorder. Basically, a person pulls out their hair as a result of extreme social anxiety. Eventually they get bald spots, leading to even more anxiety, leading to more hair pulling. It's a downward spiral that is hard to escape. You may think "Oh, a few strands isn't that bad, right?" Wrong. It is NEVER a few strands. Yes it is one strand at a time, but it can pile up to be hundreds. And no, we can't stop just because someone asked us to. Even if we don't do it consciously, it works into a habit that we can't control. I've tried to stop and I cant.

1) Everytime I go for a walk and see a pride flag/pride related thing, I text a photo to my best friend (we're both LGBTQ+) 2) I narrate everything that is happening. Like, my dad will walk in and say "There is no celery left for dinner" and I mutter "The father comes in and announces the absence of celery for [my name]'s dinner. She looks at hims sadly and and says that she regrets the loss of celery, even though her father is oblivious to the fact that she hates celery and is therefore very pleased."

Ok, two things: 1. For some reason, I love reading out loud. I think that just hearing my own voice as I read helps me take the information in better and understand whatever I'm reading more, even though I don't even use my voice, I mostly whisper. Sometimes, I try to say everything perfectly as I'm reading aloud to make it sound like I'm recording my voice for an audio book. Most of the time I have to reread because I was focusing more on saying things perfectly rather than what I'm reading. 2. Recently, I've been non-stop whispering words. Like, if I read a joke, I would say the very last word of the joke and then laugh out loud. Or say words that I'm reading that I think are really satisfying to say (actually, sometimes I choose the word of the day, which is just a word that I really like to say. For example, two days ago, the word was "bright", and the word today is "fondant"). My mom is constantly like "[Name], could you please stop talking to yourself? I keep losing focus because I think you're talking to me, and then realizing you're just talking to yourself, and having to restart what I was doing." XD

I have a lot. My mother thinks it is OCD. Can't sit on a seat with an uneven number in cinemas etc. Volumes of TV etc have to be an even number, too. My knives, forks and spoons are arranged in the drawer, as are my socks and underwear. There are more...but the one that annoyes me is that I have to tap my pocket when I leave the house. I put the keys in my pocket, tap tap tap, go to the door, tap tap tap, open the door, tap tap tap, go out of the door, tap tap tap, close the door, TAP TAP TAP. Like, really? Why do I tap after closing the door, if was not there it would be too late!

whenever I'm bored(and sometimes when I'm not) if I'm on a floor with any sort of patterns, I immediately start pacing/orbiting around the room, walking a certain way on the pattern, like maybe I can only step on the yellow lines or I have to keep my feet going the same way as the carpet grain, etc. When I am reading a good book and I'm alone in the room, I tend to pause and act out scenes in the book. by myself. This isn't really a habit, but in the week before and during my period if I see a picture/video of any guy who is even remotely good looking, my brain says "they're hot!" so of course, I have to stop what I'm doing and go "WHAT? Where did THAT come from?" and scold myself. It's annoying. and the weirdest part is that sometimes it happens with girls too. I'm straight. I have absolutely no attraction to girls about 95% of the time.

I completely relate to the third habit! I can't recall if it's ever happened to me with other girls, but I honestly think it's something to do with our hormones around that time. I have a theory that because we ovulate the week before, we're subconsciously looking for someone attractive to, er, 'reproduce' with 😬 This would explain why we think it when we see a man we think is cute, I can't think of any explanation for thinking it about girls though.

Aw, honey, you need to get out of that situation! You have made a massive step today by telling us how you feel, but you need someone to talk to, like someone on this website called Kooth it's really good I 100% recommend. You can have 1-1 discussions with councillors, and you can talk with people your own age who have the same, or different problems. Please, please talk to someone. Your life is worth so much, please try stop these thoughts. Maybe try a hobby? Or like AnIntrovert said, try a punchbag? Stay close to your puppy and your parents, they know what is best. The world is so much better with you in it. Sending love and hugs, Blinding_Darkness shines a light towards you xoxoxo

If I eat a chocolate bar like a Twix or a Kit-Kat, I never just eat it in the normal way. I always chew the chocolate off the edges first until the inner part of the bar is exposed, then I finish it off. I've done this for as long as I can remember, & I don't even know why I started in the first place. Also, if I'm in a shop & there's several items on the shelf, sometimes I'll take the item behind the one nearest to me. I got this habit from my mum as she does the same. If I'm selecting food that has a use by or best before date, I look for the one with the longest date - every time. If I'm watching TV or a film, the volume has to be either at an even number or a multiple of five, no exceptions. Again, I've picked this up from my mum. I'm weird I know 🤷♀️

I do the first 2 of these as well. I always believe the items further back are better because less people will have been touching them. Also if I am in a shop and I see things of different colours sitting together I always rearrange them in the same order as the colours of the rainbow i.e. red, orange, yellow, green. blue, indigo and violet as I am obsessed with rainbows.

Yes, that's exactly why I take the one behind!! I've never heard of the rainbow habit before, that's interesting.

'If I'm selecting food that has a use by or best before date, I look for the one with the longest date - every time.' - I also do this, but then it is logical I guess. I get perplexed when I see other shoppers just go and grab an item without checking the date. This is why I don't do online shopping.
Just Another Weirdo (Submission author) 5 years ago
It is logical, but it's still strange to me. I don't know anybody else that does this. When me & my partner go food shopping, if we get separated & he gets a bottle of milk, I'll usually ask him if it's the one with the longest date. If he hasn't checked or he says he doesn't know, I look at the others on the shelf. Omg, I could never do what they do, what if the item they pick up has the same or yesterday's date?

I actually thought of more after submitting this, but I can't recall them now as I posted this a while back. I've realised more recently though that I tend to count things; for example, if I'm reading a comment on social media & somebody uses multiple question/exclamation marks, or more than one letter in a word - e.g. 'Wooooo hooooo!' - to deliberately extend it. Or if there's a group of characters on a TV show; I was watching one of my favourites earlier on, & in this particular episode, the main family were robbed while they were trapped in the stairs. So the robbers took their time, & some of them were even doing karaoke. I paused the episode to count them. I really don't know why I do this 🤷♀️

I chewed my nails for YEARS. Ever since I was little. I tried EVERYTHING to stop: bitter polish, acrylics, painting them, etc, but nothing would stop me. I even chewed the acrylics off. What ended up working for me was I started carrying a pair of nail clippers with me EVERYWHERE. When I got the urge to chew because my uneven nail was a little too long, I'd clip it back. I'd also remind myself I didn't like how I ended up pulling them down to the quick when I chewed. It took a lot of time, but now I almost never bite my nails and I actually let them grow out some! Not very long because they break easily, but they're in much better shape now. Start by trimming them down as far as you can, and keep trimming them back when they grow out a little. Make a habit of keeping them trimmed first, then allow yourself to get used to them being longer than before, a little at a time.

Mine has to do with aluminum cans. Before I open one, I blow on the top a couple times. After it's opened, I take a sip then press an indentation with my thumb, right under the opening.

Whenever I'm not using one of my hands, the free hand is shaking a pen/pencil. Like how people shake a pencil to make it look rubber. I've been doing this since I was very little, and have found that it's much harder for me to focus on work if I'm not shaking a pencil. Also, at night, I pace back and forth in my room. I tend to get caught up in daydreams while I'm doing this and can pace back and forth for hours. I have ADHD and suspect both habits are related to the fact that I think best while moving.
