30 People Share Their ‘Weird’ Things And Ask If Others Do Them As Well

My cat looks at me and meows. enough said!

I think all loving pet owners do this

I have a special voice for talking to my dog.

Not only do I talk to them they all have different songs and a few dances. I have a lot of animals and they each have their own song that suits there personality *only a few of the ducks and chickens have their song but every single one gets one, 38 to be exact. Baby goat, Pearl was born 3 days ago and already learning my pearl girl song

All the time.

That's neurodivergence for ya! I'm constantly rehearsing conversations with people, and they rarely happen, or when they do, they don't go as I'd planned lol

..........and this is why I don't sleep most nights.

That‘s weird?

All day, every day.

I do this in my head, not out loud.

That's how I make myself sleep. Works every time.

Sounds like ADHD to me, because that's me too.

I’ve read MANY people starting a confession like this, but they invariably go on to being the hero of their little daydream. I’ve never read someone like me who constantly makes up and mentally acts out long involved stories that do NOT involve myself: continuing a favorite movie or book, for instance. No, I’m not a writer. Please tell me I’m not alone.

I have a series of 'stories' which I constantly return to, elaborating and progressing. I usually start when I go to bed as it helps me sleep, I stop worrying and overthinking if I am in one of my stories.

When I was little I did this all the time. I actually loved going to bed because nobody was disturbing my imagination. Now I need to be moving (walking, car, train) and listen to music to be able to start daydreaming.

What if I've just accidently shoved a 50in plasma telly down my bra, and haven't realised?... 0o

For some of us this is a culturally ingrained action based in part on what we were taught by family members and by our real, lived experience. As someone once said: "You may be paranoid, but that doesn't mean they aren't really after you."

I bring a backpack shopping, because it's easier and more comfortable than carrying bags all the way home. I worked in retail for years. I KNOW they are looking at me suspiciously, so even if I don't find what I'm looking for I at least buy a water or something. That way I can open my bag in front of a cashier, to take my purse out, and they can see there's nothing in there.

especially smol stores!

You feel this way even more when you have actually been stopped and searched for just leaving the store without buying anything before....

If your feet aren't covered, the boogie man can grab them (or your crazy cat can pounce them).

Just one foot out.

Feet are efficient cooling fins

I don't think this is abnormal.

I have to go a step further and put a fan blowing directly on my feet when I'm in bed. I even bought a cordless rechargable one in case the power goes out.

Me too, first to wash off the brush and then to help the paste foam better, because if I'm not foaming like a dog with rabies I haven't properly washed my teeth....

I used to wet it before putting the paste on, but it is more likely to slip off the brush when it is wet first

Yep I do that!! Feel like it doesn't foam up properly if I don't wet the brush before the toothpaste first.

I floss before brushing.

This is necessary for me!

I live by myself and do this all the time. I sometimes even sing about what I'm doing, last night I serenaded my pasta as I cooked it.

You are not!

You are not the only one

I am a delight. Why WOULDN'T I want to talk to myself?

I refer to myself as ‘we’ when talking to myself. “Come on AlienatedCheeseStick- we need to knock those dishes out!”

I called my mom using my "professional librarian" voice. She hung up on me because she thought I was a telemarketer!

You left out the pitch of the voice you use which is different, when you speak to your animals. I don't know why, but my voice gets higher when I talk to dogs or cats.

As working in customer service during many years I find this completely normal. Just think of stewardesses going over the safetly routine

This is quite normal. My husbands voice is different when he speaks at home and when he is at work. And my sister completely changes her way of speaking and even behaving when she speaks in our parents native language compared to ours.
