Don't worry about posting, nothing is truly weird.

I don't like to go out of my home, and people think I'm weird for that.
If it prevents you from doing the things you want to do, it's a phobia and you need to seek help. If you are happy, live your life as you want.
I don’t like visitors, with the exception of a couple of some family. I can’t even stand people working in the house for maintenance etc. I hide.
I get so emotionally attached to books and literally fall into the world. Some books are just so good at creating that world and it makes me feel like screaming when the book ends (because the world it's created is gone and finished). If the book's good enough, I make up my own epilogues.
I do the exact same thing. I also often do roleplays on book series I read. (Percy Jackson is a big one. Harry Potter is another big one)
I can relate to this: I often need time after I finish a book or tv series, kinda like a mourning period. That's why I prefer reading/watching series instead of a single book. I know I'll feel sad for a while after a story is finished, finishing a book in a day and feeling sad for a week is crap :(
I am glad to not be the only one. My kother and partner never understood my mourning periods. But we need time to let the story go and be open for a new one.
Load More Replies...That's what fanfiction is for. We take the worlds and characters we don't have the energy/ ability to create (or are horribly attached to after a book or series ends *ahem*) and continue what happens to them
I do that all the time my teacher when I’m reading will have to come shake me to get me out of it
Me too! I love being knee deep in a great book ! Once I get halfway I start panicking because I want to stay in their world. The last chapter I usually try to read slow because it feels like my world will fall apart without the books characters in my life. Then I dive into another book so I don't stay sad.
Hell yeah! I cry a lot , laugh a lot, be upset a lot when I'm reading a book. People call me too emotional, I calling it being human :)
I'm a 54 yr old grandmother who collects tattoos (15 at last count) and I love to play Rock Band games (drums/expert/pro and I've gold starred 17 songs.).
I'm a 56yo (not grandmother yet) who also collects tattoos and loves heavy metal, punk, and hardcore. We should find more of us and band together. :-)
I’m only 46 but I’ll join! Also love tatts, punk, metal and hardcore. Does having a fur-grandkid count? :D
Load More Replies...That’s very normal. It’s less normal to not have tattoos. She was 34 in 2001, so it makes sense that a normie at that age would be getting tatted up. Being a grandmother at 54 is about as mundane as it gets.
Can we be friends! Same age as you and I'm getting my first tat this summer for my birthday!!!
I guess my whole stylistic. I live in a very conservative country, and I dress like a witch/goth, so almost every time an older person sees me they do that christian thing where they cross themselves and look at me like I'm the devil. It always makes me laugh though, so I'm not really bothered.
I'm going to start doing that when I see goth people from now on. I had that vibe in high school. I'd forgotten how fun it was to freak out the normies.
Well in 2021 in America, the goths mostly have grown up to be just people and there’s way less of a divide. Being goth is a form of normal in many places.

That reminds me of a week ago when a friend tried to mansplain to me that my pentacle is upside down. I am a Wicca, not a Satanist. He had no idea what that was.
Load More Replies...Oh man, this one bugs me. I’m pretty devout, but I love the witchy aesthetic so a couple of people have accused me of doing satanic things. Like, bruh, God loves billowing sleeves too.
Hello fellow darkling! From one witchy gal to another, you are amazing. I’m gonna break out the black clothes again for winter and weird out the normals where I live xx Keep doing what you do :)
Yes it is so fun to dress up and get people reactions, i am going to back into school and now i can finally were goth outfits again
I don't shave my legs just because when Gillette invented razors he wanted to double his sales so he decided to make women think they had to Shave too... social Conformity is ridiculous if isn't hurting anybody
I don't want to be that guy but this is a myth. Greek women during Antiquity all shaved their legs, because it was considered fashionable at that time. The Muslim world also has a long tradition of shaving for women, as did Ancient Egypt for both men and women.
That doesnt mean that its not how the western modernd world started shaving.
Load More Replies...If you don’t like shaving then don’t. But this reads like you do actually like shaving but abstain out of spite, which is silly. You should do things for yourself not because of other people.
There was supposed to be a link here unfortunately I did it wrong, but to the trolls regardless of origin the fact remains that women shaving is a ridiculous social conformity ... a lot of women shave to fit this idea essentially shaving for someone else ... if you're not doing it for you don't do it who cares? it doesn't affect anybody else in any to each his own
It's ok and kind of normal not to shave! This is only partially accurate, people have been shaving hair off since we came out of the trees. look at ancient Egypt as just one example. when woman's legs and arms became more exposed they got rid of the hair...
I’m a 42 year old mom & I still skateboard. I broke my arm/shoulder skateboarding last year. The response from everyone who knew about my injury was “Why the hell are you still skateboarding?? You’re a mother!!!!” I guess when you become a mom, you’re not supposed to have fun anymore. Didn’t know that. 😜
It seems like some people think becoming an adult means anything fun stops. I get countless stories from my wife while at work of people thinking our interests are childish. She's gotten comments that we should be watching court shows because we're adults. We're both more into sci-fi and superheroes.
Whoa, thank you for this eye opener! Now I know why I can't settle into adult life! I've never watched a court show.... ;-)
Load More Replies...That’s what’s baffling to me about people’s stances on slutty clothes. They’ll point at moms, older women and celebs and go, “she’s a 45 year old mom, she shouldn’t be wearing that!” Like who do you want to wear it then, tweens?
I'm a Software Developer, and my 49-year-old team lead sprained his arm last week while skateboarding. The previous year, he seriously messed up his thumb while mountain-biking. But he's also in ridiculously good shape, as is the rest of his family, and so when they all got COVID last month, they didn't even have major symptoms; it was just a minor annoyance to them. More power to you, Jamie.
Didn’t you know?! When we become mothers, our children suck our energy and all our fun right out of our bodies. Leaving us tired and dull. It’s in the handbook! Geez! 🤣

Probably everything about me but mostly I’m autistic so I don’t like to make eye contact so I just look at the ground lol
I’m not autistic but I cannot look people in the eye... the ground is a much better place to look-
OMG-I have the same problem...idk if I'm autistic but I definitely have disorders.
Load More Replies...Why would people want better eye contact??? I have the best eye contact I can hold for literally ever but my problem is I can't look away from eye contact and I can't stop looking. If I see a person I instantly have eye contact I hate it so much because it's awkward and I just want to look away but can't.
Eye contact always was hard for me but I knew it was considered rude and it could prove a disadvantage for me in this society. When I was about 12 years old I forced myself to make/keep eye contact for at least 5 seconds. Nowadays it isn't a problem anymore but when I am frightened my old reflexes kick back in :(
When riding trains for commuting to and from my workplace, I love standing next to the door (that will not open until my destination) and seeing outside. People are considered me strange because everybody else is buzzy with their smartphone. It's just that I love observing people’s activities, city landscape, seeing greenery and so on
Everyone else is observing people through social media on their phones. You are getting the better view IMHO
I don't have my phone glued to me 24/7 I don't think other peoples opinions of me are more important than what I think of me. I say what I mean and mean what I say
It took me a long time to come to these self evident truths and I admire others who have also reached those truths, no matter how old or young.

THANK YOU! Soooo many friends and family members made the same choice and I have total respect for their decision. Society needs to stop judging. We have enough humans on the planet for now. Trust me
Same. I’m not sure if it’s weird but it is less common. Babies kill lifestyles.
Same here. Same reason, plus one more reason: Having the knowledge that you are responsible for another human beings life, and everything you do, say, don't do, teach, ect. will affect and mold this tiny person for life, and it's possible to screw them up permanently- uh, maybe I am selfish.....but that's just too much for me-Yeah, I know how I got here, and you moms out there are a better person than me-
Once someone called me selfish for stating the same. I find more selfish having kids just because "that's what humans do" and "I don't want to be called childless" and then don't care about their raising and don't fully commit to them.

i like reading. not online, i like to read actual physical books. with paper. and ink. try it sometime.
Right? Like it's the most common thing. Plus, their tone seems condescending, like people are less than them for reading on their phones and not using up paper.

Just gave my kindle away cause I never use it. I have 3 book weighing down my purse currently 🤦🏻♀️
The smell, the feel, the sound... To me, there's nothing better. The older the book, the more special the experience. A wonderful remnant of my time as a medievalist :)
Eating pineapple pizza. Writing a journal on my phone. Wanting to talk to random strangers (uncommon where I live). Not being exactly sure about my beliefs. Liking math, physics, history and english.

I love math, physics, history and English! Not the biggest fan of pineapple pizza, though-
This is all very standard and plain / normal. The pineapple thing is common enough that almost every pizza chain offers it.
People think it's weird that I like videogames, just because I like books and reading doesn't mean I'm against videogames. People also think it's weird that I like anime for the same reason, I mean if your going to do that at least be creative with it.
Where Im from everyone plays videogames. watches anime and geeks out in genral.
I still play Super Mario on Nintendo 64 n GameCube, and Crash Bandicoot, Jumanji, n downloaded games on my PS4.
I have a PS4 too! Do you play Ratchet and Clank?

Good for you girl. Having multiple interests in life is what keeps us young, its what keeps the magic in our hearts.
Elfquest!! Wohoo. You sound like a wonderfully weird person to me
This brings me such an intense feeling of recognition =D this is exactly how I am at 22yo and how I hope I will forever be!
That's not weird. That sounds like my perfect partner! 52. Plays video games. My music on shuffle can go from Korn and Paramore to The Carpenters, The Prodigy, Mozart, Johnny Cash, Chemical Brothers, Roberta Flack, Pendulum, Foo Fighters and Portishead and everything between.

Suddenly starts laughing at times. Why? About something funny that happened at a 5min - 8year range. The (dis)advantage of having a good memory.
Me too! I'll say, "That reminds me of something..." Most of my friends have learned to catch on pretty quickly, though.
I laugh at scenarios that I make in my head because I have bad memory
World watching. Some people just freak out that you can remain calm and enjoy almost any activity without being particularily involved in it, just watch and still have fun.
Oooh I love doing this. Really good at international airports and shopping centres.
Going out by myself. Just going out for a tea and reading the newspaper, to the movies, or going out for sushi in the evening and only bringing a magazine with me for company. I love that kind of 'me-time'.
My husband and I have slept in different rooms during our whole marriage. We love being able to stay up/retire early/keep a light on/use TV or iPad at will without bothering each other! No snoring sounds in my room either. We get in our cuddling, etc., but when it is time to sleep we sleep! Would not change it but I know others would judge us...
I like to fall asleep listening to supernatural scary demon stories on YouTube.
I love reading Japanese ghost stories and urban myths - really terrifying stuff, and perfect for bedtime.

Eat erasers
you may want to go to a doc about that. Could mean your body is lacking a certain vitamin / mineral. Also pretty sure eating rubber is not good for your insides. :)
I used to eat crayons as a little kid. (around 6 y.o.) For what it's worth, I remember them tasting pretty good....
dude why?? like yo why don't u sneak food into class instead of eating ur erasers?? Jeez louise...
thb in 3rd grade once i gave my pencil eraser to 2 of my classmates and then they started chewin the eraser like gum and i'm like"da fudge is yall doin" cuz i said sumthin bout eraser but i forgot what i said and then some more classmates started chewin it and soon i told my teaher and she was like "..." and i was like "dang almost da whole class chewin it"

I really like bones. My sister laughs at me for it. And I have a couple of bones from gem and mineral shows. But if I told people that that'd likely say that I'd grow to to be a murderer
Bones are really cool! I wonder why everyone gets so freaked out about them.
It’s okay to like bones. Just don’t get too specific like “I like clavicle bones from 8 years olds” and you should be good 👍🏻
We've all got bone collections - 206, usually. You're more likely to be an archaeologist than a murderer.
I'm 52 and I think I'm the oldest fujoshi in my country (of course I collect yaoi manga, I think I have every one that was published in my country). I'm also 40lvl at Pokémon GO, aiming for more (this makes me a laughing stock in my family).
I don't respect Pokemon Go as much as the mainstream games, but it's really cool that you've gotten so far.
For those not familiar, "fujoshi" translates to "rude girl" or something of the like in Japanese, and was used to refer to women who like yaoi/slash/gay p*rn/romance (specifically male) in a fetishistic, almost creepy fashion; it was an insult, like otaku, and like otaku has become a catch-all term for any woman/girl who likes yaoi of any kind, from soft romance to more hardcore stuff, whether they like it a little or really obsess over it.
I miss Pokémon Go. And 2016. What a year! I think I stopped around lvl 34
I write books, solely for myself, to manage anxiety. I have no goal to publish even though I have completed two books of about 500 pages each have multiples that are close to completion, and have several others around 200 to 300 pages including some that are parts of two different series. I've been doing this for more than ten years. I rarely talk about it because people immediately start telling me I'm need to publish them or there no point in spending so much time on it.
I do aswell, to manage anxiety and (since i mostly write fanfiction) to make my favorite non-canon ships happen
Same, I am glad I am not the only one. Anxiety, depression, and suicidal tendencies right here
Why don't you all publish your work on a site such as Wordpress? I know there are people out there who would love to read it.
You need an editor. (My buddy’s an author, and this seems to be a sort of Golden Rule with them. “Hate it or hate it, you absolutely need an editor”) Publishing, however, is completely optional, lol. Keep having fun!
I don't have a super-strong unbreakable bond with my twin. I do not do anything he does. I don't like his friends. And strangely, I do not like being compared to him.
I have a twin, and we could not be more different. (Except for the fact that we both adore cats and are girls) She is about a foot taller than me, is extroverted- we are complete opposites.
Carbonation really upsets my stomach so I take the lid off of soda bottles and let them sit a few days until they are flat.
This one is actually quite odd. Why drink soda if you can’t have the bubbles? Why not tea or juice instead?
because those are completely different drinks/flavors, haha
Load More Replies...i find that the carbonation is way too high in most fizzy drinks. I open the top and carefully swirl the container until enough bubbles pop though... too impatient to leave it out and wait for that to happen on it's own
For some reason, a flat fizzy drink, especially Coca-Cola, helps when I have a sore throat. Odd.
A lot of people in my school think I'm weird just because I watch anime and read manga. Like, they don't even know the half of it and they think I'm weird for just THAT?
Half of my school watches anime/reads manga, I don't think it's weird at all! (This is not sarcasm btw)
That’s probably not why they think you are weird because cartoons and anime are normal things.
A couple years ago I was really scared to watch anime and read manga cuz my friends didn’t really like that stuff and I thought I wouldn’t be approved. But then my neighbor told me that she like anime and I was like :)

Right, do you want a list? I have zero interest in any sport. I find all and every religion disturbing, and people who constantly praise God for everything to be weird and intolerable. I cannot handle any advertising, to the point that I do not listen to radio or watch TV that has ads, and any website I find that insists on me turning off my ad-blocker just gets passed up on. People whose entire persona seems solely defined by their dietary choices, their 'image', or their tattoos just creep me out. I ALWAYS return the shopping cart. Facts have my respect, and your beliefs do not. No, I don't care who you are. Lots of other things - now get off my lawn.
Zero interest in any sport!! Yes, thank you, we do exist!! Don't care! Sports yuck!
The god delusion is terrifying to a born atheist. It's whack s**t as bad as ancient aliens but they kill you for it!
So you don't respect how anyone deals with their existence, outlook on life, their own mortality, regardless of what that belief is? No concept of right and wrong, decency or what respect entails, as these are abstract concepts (not facts) that people ascribe to or, if you will, believe in? That sounds like a rather judgemental, nihilist approach to me.
This all seems normal enough except the advertising thing which is pretty weird but kinda understandable.
I'm polyamorous. I have a happy life with my wife. I have a great relationship with my girlfriend (and her husband). I'm starting something new. Everyone knows everyone else. Everyone is happy. Despite this, I'm regularly told I'm a cheater; that I'm a bigamist (amusing but untrue); that it's illegal (worrying and untrue); and that I don't understand what love really is. The best bit is when you're told all that by someone you know is having an affair.
Yeah, me personally I think this is cheating, I have never been okay myself with the thought of someone doing this. I always thought polyamorous was just a fancy excuse to cheat. But if everyone is happy and your happy then nobody else's opinions should matter and you should do what you love.
Are you aware that “to me” is not a good criteria for a definition? If you have an open relation and all is consensual you cannot cheat since cheating by definition is being with another person while you are monogamous.
Load More Replies...This is completely okay! As long as they both know about it, of course...
In my opinion, this is fine, as long as everyone you are with knows and his fine with this relationship!
Honestly it is no ones business. People should be able to do as they please.

Load More Replies...I thoroughly enjoy roleplaying. I've been told by my classmates and many of my close friends that it is weird, annoying, and useless. I find myself to have a lot of energy even though I'm not ADHD or anything like that, so I find that roleplaying something fictional and fun helps me. Unfortunately, society around me thinks that is weird, however, I still do it because you know what? You only live once, so I'm going to do the things I love.
Children love to play pretend. This is about as normal as can be.
Well a lot of adults roleplay too (and I dont mean in the bedroom). Not a child thing.

I've been roleplaying for 20ish years--it started as a way of dealing with trauma and emotions, because I could write these imaginary characters acting out all the negative scenarios and impulses in my head.

My friend loves to roleplay but, I haven't got too. I looks really fun though.
I love tabletop role play game like dnd and Call of Chthulu, but my parents don't like the idea of them because the think it will make me a bad person.
Absolutely! There's nothing wrong with roleplaying. It's fun and requires imagination.
I don’t like French Fries There I said it
I can't really bring myself to eat more than 4 or 5, and THAT's mostly cause I feel guilty cause I paid for them.
I don't like thin fries (sorry, McDonalds fries are nasty to me). Must have steak fries if possible. The bigger and thicker the better.
I like to read and study, but I also like video games, and also apparently liking to read makes you a erd
My entire life I've been chided for my reading habit. 'Get your nose out of that book!" Even as an adult.

Hm...well I absolutely love sad music and people think that is the weirdest thing ever lol...I also am really kinda awkward so whenever I do something kinda normal people are like "Wait a minute..." I also really wanna go back to in person learning...most people beg to do online at my school but I hate it.
Yes, I love sad music but people are confused by that since people know me to be a very upbeat person. I also hate online school, my school has gone back to hybrid learning but I'm one of the only people staying remote because of my stupid cystic fibrosis, my parents dont trust the schools precautions
In-person learning is huge. You're not alone in wanting to go back to it - most students support it these days, and get clinically depressed when they're deprive of human contact. I'm a fan of sad music myself, especially folk songs.
cause they dont like online learning :) read the post ^^

My friend is weird when she’s hungry she eats her work paper and swallows
1. When I get mad my voice gets higher and higher until there isn't any word just squeaks. 2. Also when I'm angry or stressed I start laughing like a maniac. It freaks out everyone around me at the time.
If I find something really funny tears start streaming down my face and I immediately can't breathe. Then I kinda start shaking and crying even more because I know I look stupid.
kind of the opposite of the last one for me, when i'm genuinely terrified i start laughing and i really can't stop, it's some kind of panic mechanism
For the first one, sameeee. All my friends make fun of me for it, but like teasingly, they think its hilarious. When I'm stressed, I just freeze and don't move or talk until I calm down. People think that's weird.

A lot of my teachers play video games, once my class had an argument with our teacher about whether Playstation or Xbox was better, and once a couple guys talked to the teacher the WHOLE period about call of duty, its pretty fun when that happens.

My best friend is a teacher and he is super nerdy (videogames, fantasy, comics...). His students always get surprised.
Could be me. Only I'm a woman. So when I was young that was something too society thought to be weird about me too. Another girl saw me reading a Star Wars Fan Magazine (we were about 12 years old) and was "Why you're reading this? You're a GIRL!" @_@ Girl did you know nothing about me, I started "reading" Spiderman while I was in Kindergarden.
Load More Replies...My attitude and all my style. Im a redneck from the south, A native american, a biker, and a guns enthusiast. i am either constantly feared or looked down upon. I had a teacher tell me that i was distracting and frightening to some of the student for what i was wearing. My Clothing: black Alpha Force Rocky Leather boots, dark blue jeans, my chain wallet, a black grunt style t shirt, a black cowboy hat, my skull dog tag necklace, all four of my rings, and my big black camo jacket. honestly i was kinda pissed off. im sorry that my style or opinions in clothing is disturbing to you. because of it all i just stopped wearing what i wanted to just so people would leave me alone. i had people ask me why i dressed so dark, or why i was so into self defense and crazy s**t like that. i just gave it up. in public tho im all out.
Sounds like an edgelord / attention seeker. “They all fear me!” Sure, Jan.
That's just as discriminatory as telling girls their clothes are too sexy. I'm sorry you got treated that way.
You are a gun enthusiast attending class looking like you are prepped for combat action. Everyone else is kicking back and learning. You really don't see it?
So, apparently people don't drink the "blood" (actually it's myoglobin) left in a package of steak. I grossed my husband out the first time, but I've always done it, so did my parents.
i think it's possible to get salmonella poisoning from doing that or some other type of poisoning, i'm not sure
Put it into the stew, gravy , casserole, pie, what ever. Just please cook it, for your own health.
Load More Replies...That's one of the most disgusting things I've read in months. Really. Why?
Y u m m y. It tastes good on the steak, gotta taste good plain.
Load More Replies...Props on "keeping it weird", but it is dangerous (bacteria, viruses, parasites). It's definitely a role of the dice each time you do it. Pour that blood onto the meat or into whatever you're cooking though!
What country do you live in? I've never gotten a packet of anything with meat in the US; maybe because I usually get it from the butcher at the counter. I think this must be a regional thing. Very curious!
Jaywalking. I don't know if it's weird, but I don't think it's necessary to follow the traffic rules if the streets are empty or I'm in a hurry. I don't run in front of cars, mind you.
Why? It being illegal doesn’t justify not doing it. It was once illegal for black and white people to share a fountain. It was once illegal for women to vote. It was once illegal to consume alcohol or marijuana. Jaywalking may not be a great idea but surely not because it is illegal.
Load More Replies...It’s only jaywalking if you become an obstacle for oncoming traffic. Here in Ontario you are allowed to cross a road if there is no crosswalk near, as long as you let the traffic go by first.
I agree. I mean, if you say it like, "Oh, I jaywalk when nobody is around," it sounds bad, but if there is really nobody around, and the street is clear, I guess it's alright.
I have to inspect my poo before I flush. Sorry!
It's like looking at the tissue after blowing your nose. Maybe it's a health check just in case ...??
Yes, it's a good habit to have. I mean, its from your own freakin body!
Load More Replies...German toilets have a shelf, so you can look for worms - caused by undercooked pork
Also to look for blackness or blood. Which used to be an "early" sign of severe stomach ulcers. Which used to kill a lot more people than it does now. Because the cause is known now and the treatment works now.
Load More Replies...I'm not sure if this is all that weird but I absolutely CANNOT sleep or relax with an open door near me. I have to close it. I always feel like I'm going to see someone or something walk by or I feel like something is peering at me from the other side of the doorway. I also can't have open drawers around when trying to sleep. Oddly, I can tolerate mirrors in my room.
I cant have mirrors in my room or my doors open.... I blame it on horror movies and true crime podcasts.
I am the same with armchairs or chairs in the bedroom. Can't leave them empty and have to put several cushions on to "fill them up" !!
A friend and I met when we worked in a molecular biology lab. We found our we’d both had paranormal experiences, so now we do ghosthunting trips for vacations. Lizzie Borden house, The Myrtles, Whaley House, the Queen Mary, New Orleans, Savannah, Newport... People think we’re weird to be scientists who believe in ghosts, but when you’ve had experiences with both, it makes perfect sense. There are more things in Heaven and on earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
At The Myrtles I was in bed, eyes closed, lights on because the place is creepy. Every room had been booked for the weekend, but everyone else had checked out after only one night; so we had the house to ourselves. Employees refuse to spend nights there. Anyway, I was lying in bed with eyes closed when a shadow passed in front of my face. Then something or someone took my hand and lifted it off the bed. It was not a dream because I couldn’t sleep for the heavy, palpable sense of fear. Of all the places we’ve visited, The Myrtles is the only place where I was afraid of what might happen. I do hope to go back one day — and next time I’ll open my eyes! In Vicksburg I actually saw the apparition of a Confederate officer as he tried to get me to help the wounded. (The house where we stayed had been a hospital and morgue during the Civil War.)
Load More Replies...Fursuiting- people just misunderstand the community based off stereotypes and all we want to do is spread positivity and put a smile on people's faces- I don't know why people think it's weird.
Fursuiters deserve all the props, especially if they make their own. One of my friends is a furry and makes his own suits, and they are STIFLING! If you've ever had to dress up as a mascot it is exactly like that. Kids adore it though! For them it's like visiting Disney and almost all the suiters I've met have been absolute delights.
As long as you don't emit over 5,000 mrems of cringe a year, you're entirely ok.
I know why people think it's weird, and I also think it's weird. That doesn't mean I don't wanna do it lol. I don't have the money for one tho ;v;
I have a weird way I scratch my ear. I suck air in with my tongue next to one side. It works when you have an itch deep in your ear, but it sounds odd so most people react like I’m crazy. On an unrelated topic, I’m sure people think I’m weird that I don’t like being called sir. It just feels like to me when it’s used one side of the conversation think they are superior to the other. I’d prefer to think of everyone as equals.
Laugh and/or smile when I am uncomfortable - aka in really inappropriate situations. I literally laughed at a funeral once. I probably come across as a total a-hole but I cannot control it. When I try to hold back I just end up thinking about how awkward it must be for the other person and it makes me laugh more! I don't find it funny at all, but it's like my brain will not allow me to be normal.
I laugh when im uncomfortable aswell. It makes everyone uncomfortable, at my great grandmas funeral a couple years ago I was holding back laughter the whole time which probably made everything worse but laughing helps me not cry so
yes like same situation my great uncles funeral and i just kept laughing so i had to go hide in the bathroom
Load More Replies...Being born and raised in Atlantic Canada, other places think it's weird to have milk that comes in bags, poutine, donairs, Poutine râpée. We can go out in minus weather and for the most part not be bothered by it.
milk pitcher... and no the bag didn't fall off the pitcher. so much less plastic-waster than regular plastic bottle milk-605b2...4edd5a.jpg
KwikTrip stores in the northern US do bagged milk, and yes it’s still weird to me. Every “gastro pub” in existence has a poutine now, and the world is (mostly) a better place for it.
being gay
Sadly a lot of people are still prejudiced about this.

but it is considered weird by society. I am very proud of who I am.

i think this is something most people wish they were into (myself included). Keep it up!
I don't have a smart phone, I use my flip phone I got back in 2006/7. I also sleep with a stuffed animal, for shoulder support and emotional. I am 33.
I sleep with a stuffed animal too. I'm still in school but people still think it's weird. I can't imagine I'll ever stop sleeping with it.
Weird = interesting ^_^ When you get older you will most likely need sleeping support of sorts but most go with body pillows. I think having a stuffed animal helps to reduce anxiety, especially a childhood one.
Load More Replies...At 35 I got my first smart phone. Then I realized just how much it is a fulfilment of Revelation chapter 13.
I lost EVERYTHING in the wildfires last Sept. I have finally purchased a new home. When I was shopping for things I needed for home, I walked by display of stuffed animals. I had memory boxes of all my childhood items but lost them. So when I saw the stuffed animals, I knew I needed one. Came home put it right in the middle of my bed. Made home so much sweeter to see that little furry face smiling at me!
I sleep with my wife for shoulder and emotional support. Yours nags less.
I feel you. I sleep with two skuffes animals in my bed and a mu dog...who is alive xD
videogames and roleplay whenever i want to, even in the store (once COVID is over i want to start a larp group)
Most of the time, I don't use knife. I *do* know how to use it, of course, but it takes too long time (I am an extremely fast eater, I hate to spend whole eternity at the table). So until it isn't some really official occasion or I'm not with total strangers, I tend to use fork only.
Both me and my dad. He always said if it's cook right you don't need a knife.
Most folk in the USA only use forks when they eat too? Is that true?
The culturally American people, yes. But lots of Americans like myself and many others have non-American backgrounds. I’m American but also middle eastern. We eat primarily with spoons. Better for scooping rice.
Load More Replies...I wear 30-40s style Tweed blazers and knitted fairisle vest. It’s the only type of cloths I own. People almost gets offended because I don’t wear t-shirt and jeans. Oh and the fact that I regulary smoke cigars turns up my wierd factor to max.
They sound like they have a fedora collection and refuse to smile in a non Pixar way.
I drink straight coffee creamer.
Me too! Delicious. Also, as a Mormon, I don't drink the coffee anyway.
i do this because my fam only buys almond milk. so i drink cups of coffee creamer and sometimes put chocolate sauce in it and stir it around till it becomes chocolate milk
XD I used to do it in secret until I got caught and my dad gave me the strangest looks like "what the heck are you doing???" XD
Load More Replies...I have been commando for 30 plus years! I play with my horse like another horse. I sway and prance, flash my long mane and he squeals with delight and runs off bucking, then turns and prances back up to me, I dash and dart to the sides and off again he goes, running and snorting. I prance toward him, and say, “I’m gonna get you!” And he bounds out with excitement and runs to me then darts off to the side! Always a gentleman and never too close to hurt. Pure Heaven on Earth! A lot of boarders have thought I was crazy, or they’re jealous with the freedoms to be a girl with her horse! In one’s 60’s! I hate coffee (the drink, too acidic) but my favorite ice cream is Coffee! I know... I tear my nails watching Basketball games, thrillers, and family argumentings! If I have a hang-nail I keep rubbing it until I have to cover it with a bandaid to stop myself! A touch of OCDness! I use accents and quote movies (in character - you CAN handle the truth and such) for emphasis of the topics being covered in my consulting work! Makes clients laugh and relax! You CAN have fun while learning to heal your relationship issues! Ok, last one...I could go on...I live in both worlds! A trained Shamanic Practitioner (28 years! )
I also do the hang nail and commando thing. And I don't think your horse play is weird at all, you're playing with a horse, how wonderful!
I listen to and create ASMR videos. So when I start tapping and scratching on random things in the stores... people stare 😕
In packets of bourbons that are double wide, i try to keep the level even. If it's odd, i take 3. If it's even, i take 2.
I put tomato sauce on my mashed potato.
- Liking anthropomorphic characters ( I would say I'm a Furry) - Playing videogames and watching (a few) animes - Reading books
I use all pronouns, and people think that's super weird. They'll be like "what pronouns do you go by? I dont want to misgender you." and i'll tell them that i honestly don't care what they refer to me as, and they'll be very confused I also read (as in used to read, pronounced red) Warrior Cats in elementary school and the first two years of middle school. People thought I was so weird for that, I have no idea why though. People think its weird that I have no problem with furries. Dunno why. I also switch from extroverted to introverted and back again very often. Most of my friends don't know this. They all think I'm super extroverted, so when I ask to stay in they get super weirded out. Last thing I promise, I hate wasting meat, people will try to throw out meat that doesn't get eaten and I'll have a fit. I always tell them that that animal died so they could eat, and they're just throwing it away. They usually don't care, and (again) think I'm weird for being so triggered about it.
I connect to the last part! I hate it when someone leaves the water running. I don't know why, but it's been a pet peeve of mine since childhood.
My anxiety levels go through the roof if water is being wasted in front of me
Load More Replies...I have a friend who uses all pronouns. I don’t actually know if this is rude or not, please tell me if it is, but I usually just use they/them pronouns-
Well I mean it depends on the person but personally I wouldn't care. I use all pronouns so people can refer to me as whatever they feel comfortable referring to me as, and if they felt like using they/them all the time, thats great, they can do that, I don't mind.
Load More Replies...I literally couldn't care less if Alice and Bob are furries. Just don't be awful.
The dead animal doesn’t care what you do with it’s dead body. If you actually respected it you wouldn’t pay someone else to kill it and eat its flesh. Check yourself.
Would you care what I did with your dead body? If yes, then the animal probably does care. If people actually respected animals they wouldn't just throw it away or let it get thrown away. after they killed it.

I used to be the same about sleeping, nightmares of those type are no joke, but my doctor put me on a medication that makes it so I don't have nightmares anymore. Researched it, military had found it really helped with PTSD nightmares.
I dress super plain, so plain it’s hard to find clothes for me. Also a gamer chick. Stopped wearing flashier clothes because I would get non stop hit on at gaming conventions.
That's so sad that you changed your style to keep creeps away! Wear what you want, plus a bunch of spiky sh*t that keeps them at arms reach. 🙂 (or just crush their balls when they get too close.) Not a guy hater, just a predator hater. 💜
Literally everything I do.
I guarantee you that the people who have to declare how wierd/mad they are, are not. The genuine ones just get on with their lives.
Everything, absolutely everything. I can’t do anything without freaking out in public, and then I freak out about freaking out
Oh you know dipping French fries in milkshake, not bad, chicken nuggets in ice cream, tried it not bad... but I have a friend that mixes tomato sauce with Sprite... I refuse to try that. Also was into 2ne1 and the rest 10 years before bts was a thing lol had no friends to talk to.
French fries in milkshake I've never tried (i really need to though), chicken nuggets in ice cream is great though.
Not sure if this counts- but, for some reason, I HAVE to watch all anime's subbed. Or else it doesn't feel like real anime to me, and I loose interest. No idea why.
I'm a lorehound - that is gathering useless knowledge from stories and games, oftentimes spending most of a day discussing finer points with others or quizzing each other about it.

Chewing ice cubes. I know it is not entirely uncommon but still considered weird
I can't chew them it hurts my head but i still eat ice cubes, i just let them melt in my mouth
Welp.

I hate opening up to people aswell. It took me a very long time before I found my two friends I can trust with anything and that I will open up to. But I still wont tell them very much unless they ask.

Showering at night in the pitch black, with my favourite songs playing and dancing in the dark while washing myself.
I’m 28 and I love to watch cartoons so much but I guess most girls I’ve gone out with found it weird and childish.
Right there with you. The garbage that Hollywood tries to push down our throats is not worth my time or attention. Cartoons are just better.

Be it on my plate, be it in the pot while cooking - in case I use pepper, I always use one kind, carefully chosen, and always take 2^n spins of the peppermill. Like, in a pot of potato salad (about 1.5 to 2 kg in total), I use 64 turns.

I’m a 42 year old woman and I run a Dungeons and Dragons game for my middle school daughter and her 2 friends, both boys. We’ve been playing for a year. This was the age where I didn’t want to admit I even HAD parents, yet three 13 year olds willingly choose to hang out with me. Maybe that makes them the weird ones, and my 70 year old parents think it’s weird, but it’s awesome and I refuse to stop having fun just cause I’m a middle aged mom.

When we were kids, if we wanted to read the comics section of the newspaper, (in the 90’s of course) our dad would have us read a story from the front page or the international section first, and tell him about the article we read. Backfired big time. We always take the papers read all of it, comics last, even though we weren’t required to anymore, then carefully placed it back together again so he wouldn’t know. Flash forward to today, I still read the main stories first & look at the entertainment articles for later on my iPad. And we all still race to still text each first if there is a big story, or to mess with our dad, tell him before he has a chance to read it. I know, weird family.
News flash!! Everyone is different?! Wow, who would have thought?!... seriously though, this is just regular people stuff, none of this is TOO weird.

I hate socks! I never wear them inside of home, whenever I can I am barefoot. Even in winter I refuse to wear tights or any socks longer that ankle height. Only if it's like freezing cold and there is a danger of getting frostbites I will probably wear tights but I will take them off as soon as I am inside. I don't hate pants and jeans though (but still prefer dresses and skirts), I just hate socks, anything that sticks to my feet and tightly sticks to my legs. I should move to warm climate area.
I love gaining a little speed and sliding across the floor. That's basically the only reason I wear socks around the house. Otherwise, I'm right there with you. For me I dislike the desensitizing, not feeling the ground with my feet.
