We all have weird quirks that are fairly uncommon, to say the least. For the fear of being judged, we keep these weird things to ourselves; however, that doesn't stop us from being curious about what others have to hide.

So, to indulge in this secret knowledge, X (formerly Twitter) user @drakesbrother started a thread asking people to share their bad habits, weird confessions, and interesting things they do. The thread was quickly flooded with the strangest habits. 

Turns out, lots of us have funny habits that make perfect sense to us but might seem odd to others. Something like when someone has to read the last page of a book before they can start it from the beginning. One thing’s clear: what seems like quirky habits to some of us is just another day in the office for others.

Some confessed to measuring how long something will take in songs, others said that each time they get in their car, they make sure no one is sitting in the back seat. While some of these weird things to do sound a little bit odd, let’s not pretend you don't relate. 

Scroll below for the list of confessions from regularly weird people, and don't forget to share your own strange habits in the comments.

This is incredibly common. Everyone does this, actually. Intrusive thoughts. I tend to think “how much can I key this car”.

My girlfriend does this a lot. I end up answering her and she just replies "nobody is talking to you, talking to myself. mind your own business." LOL

Cupboard doors need to be closed when not in use. It's not that I won't necessarily be able to sleep, it's just why would they be open?

For some reason when I talk to myself I have a British accent and narrate everything that I am doing. Sometimes I narrate like I am watching How It's Made. "A worker picks up each pot and scrubs them out thoroughly . Next he sets it on the counter to dry. Later the pot will be placed in its proper storage location for its next use"

I signed in just to respond to this because I do the same thing-even the British accent. I was even doing it while reading your comment

I totally do that too. I will get into beef with my friends and then in the shower (specifically the shower,) I will make up arguments between us and come up with the best roasts and win!

I have full blown arguments with people real or imaged in my head. I go over scenarios real or imaged. Sometimes I wonder about myself but after reading a lot of these I feel a lot more at peace with my strange brain.

This is not weird at all. Introverts and socially anxious people do this to try to control uncomfortable situations.

Confession: I make up movie scenes and act them out.. It gets to real though, sometimes I cry when I lose my invisible friend in my own made-up scene. Am I really the only one who does this?

I always wish in conversations I could slam my fist down on the table and demand the other person acts like how I planned out in my head.

People act like talking to yourself is bad. There’s a bad stigma around it.

Hmm, yeah. I find I rehearse conversations in my head or go back over previous conversations where I've been bested by someone to play it out to my advantage.

Ditto. I do interiors, decorating homes, arranging furniture in my mind. In real life too i keep rearranging or shifting the same old furniture.

Until I was out of college, I thought I was the only one who did that!! I saw a therapist for some anxiety issues and she said that was very common!

Get grounded. Feel your body sensations, consciously watch your regular breath or consciously register sounds without naming them.

Me, too. And I still don't know how to get myself to follow the conversation in real life when the time comes. If it comes. I try to think about what I might say to someone who wronged me in the past. My roommate keeps telling me to let things go. Sure. Okay, like you do? 😁

this is like driving with loud music, but then turning the volume down to look for parking or for an address.

When I was 4 in Florida we had no A/C in our house. I had 6 spots on my pillow that I could move my head around on until I had to flip it & have 6 more.

That's pretty high stakes for just trying to hit the trash can with some garbage. Go big I guess.
