I hate when people touch my hair, belly button or anus.

We are such different people LOL!


srsly though, weirdest personal trait for me would probably be all of my weird little face twitches that i make sometimes. i can't really control them, and i've had them since i was a kid.
 
I have no issue with being touched or anything and am very open to touching. However i hate the idea of massages and will never have one.
 
When I rush across a road, I sing myself a little tune in time with my steps. I have no idea why I do this, and why I only do it when I'm rushing across the road and not when I'm crossing it normally.

My ability to sleep in jeans.

I had a college roommate who slept in jeans every single night. He also never showered, and I remember his mom bringing a bag of brand new towels that just sat on his desk for months. I ended up using one once when I needed it..... so.... Sorry for using your towel, dude.
 
People have this weird knack for trusting me whole-heartedly very VERY quickly, which I find super odd.

It's happened so many times where I'll make a friend or something and soon after they'll be like "I can really trust you so I'll tell you about ____• which confuses me. Not that I'd do anything bad with their trust, so I guess they're right to do it? I dunno man it's weird to me.

Edit: I guess this doesn't really match what the thread is asking. But whatever I'll leave it.

Also I constantly have my hands in some kind of pose if there's nothing I can fiddle with. Usually it relates to something I've been into. Like the pose Dr.Strange does with his hands, which used to be one.

Lately it's been the OK symbol that Symmetra does in Overwatch with her middle finger+thumb. People have pointed it out to me quite often. Makes me really self conscious about it.

I have a gifted sense of smell.

I can tell when my coworkers use a different fragrance or perfume even from a distance. The problem is, I can also tell when my coworkers didn't used any fragance, deodorant or perfume. Public transportation can make my head hurt, and my city smells like humidity and rotten fruits. Also don't keep used clothes on your room, I can tell.

I have a problem with my nose. I can't seem to smell anything as much as other people. Sometimes I am oblivious that there is a smell until someone mentions it.

"Now that we know who you are, I know who I am. I'm not a mistake! It all makes sense! In a comic, you know how you can tell who the arch-villain's going to be? He's the exact opposite of the hero. And most times they're friends, like you and me! I should've known way back when... You know why, Poolman? Because of the kids.

They called me Mr Gas."

United States, I've been dealing for 4 years and playing Poker for 8 years. 13 being luck related was simply coincidence I made this account before I started working in casinos, I was also not playing poker during the period I made my account here because I was in college.
 
I was originally left handed but was made to do everything right handed so now I can everything but write neatly with my left and box from a southpaw stance as it feels more comfortable and my left arm remains stronger than my right.

I'm also unreasonably optimistic and confident when I shouldn't and have an obscenely good memory for the mundane.
 
I've gotten pretty good at pretending to be a normie but the facade probably wouldn't stand up to close scrutiny.

I'll bend over backwards to do anything for anyone and I get seriously upset if I can't. My dad is the same way, even for little things. A LOT of people have taken advantage of him for it over the years, myself not as much as I'm more self aware of it than he is. He's a mechanic and I'm an IT guy, so you can maybe get some kind of idea of what I mean. It might not seem weird until you've seen how annoyed and frustrated he's gotten over not being able to pick up a coffee for my sister after she casually texted him about it.

I can't deal with people touching me. It doesn't matter who it is or what kind of contact: handshakes, hugs, being poked, being stuck next to someone in a really crowded area, it all makes me feel super uncomfortable.
Click to expand...
I have a lot of this and the only contact I really engage in is sexual and that's only because pleasure outweighs the discomfort. Most women I have been with think I am a pig because I won't kiss or cuddle or hold hands and I try to explain its not them it's everyone.

Even hugging my mother makes me cringe.
 
I talk to myself a lot. People will think I was talking to them and be like "huh? I'm sorry did you say something?", and I have to be like "oh sorry, I was just talking to myself...haha".

I got it from my dad because he does the same thing.
 
I come off a lot more negative / hostile than I intend to. I'm usually pretty monotone and curse a bunch. Its like the gay inneundo gag from arrested development, but sounding pissed off all the time. Resting bitch voice?
 
I'm ridiculously flexible, to the point where it's disturbing.

I'm 6'5, 270 and can do a full horizontal and vertical split. I had plenty of rehab as a result of knee surgery from football so that might have something to do with it, but it manifests itself when I'm lifting too. When I'm squatting, my hip flexor allows my butt to nearly touch the ground, even when I'm maxing.

Can be a positive thing, a negative thing, a neutral thing. What's the oddest, most unique thing about you?

Mine is definitely my picky eating. It's not even usually a flavor thing for me, but certain consistencies just give me a fucking primal revulsion. Almost threw up all over the table at a restaurant a few weeks ago, because I tried biting into a cooked carrot. I snack on raw carrots all the time, they're delicious. I've always known I didn't like cooked carrots, but I hadn't had any in years and figured that as an adult I'd be past that. Nope. The sweet flavor was totally fine, but the mushy consistency did not sit well with my gag reflex.

I have the same sensory issues. I LOVE raw carrots while cooked will make me gag. I remember in Junior High I had a home economics class where for the final we had to all cook a meal and eat it together. We had to try everything that was made. One of those items was Jell-o. Everyone loves Jell-o, right? That slimy consistency provokes my gag reflex. I was able to not puke but it was close. The teacher looked at me like I was a freak.
 
I have elf ears. There not that noticeable, but they go in a different way to nomal people's. I didn't even notice it till not that long ago.
 
I am instinctively contrarian. I make for a decent devil's advocate because of it but it's downright impulsive.

Anytime politics comes up, I immediately develop the opposite opinion save for some opinions I've tried to develop on my own.

I absolutely despise litter and uncleanliness. Like groovy above I can't play something in a messy room (I'll take at least 5 minutes straightening out the cushions and blankets).

Question is what is normal for me?

- Noise bothers me. Music literally (not figuratively) makes me angry. Someone going off about love lost irl is whiny but if they sing about it then "they are a genius". To me, it's still someone whining about love lost with shit blaring in the back.

- My house has to be picked up and tidy for me to feel comfortable enough to game or watch a movie. So yes, that means i do dishes, vacuum and put things away before i blast fools on Destiny , Halo or Gears

- I have this weird OCD thing where I announce "by Jan and Stan Berenstain " before reading a book. This is probably my weirdest trait.

- Suits and shirts scare me by design. Why rip a t-shirt straight down the middle and then patch it up with buttons? why is there a collar? what is the deal with the flaps on a jacket?

I'm sure I have more that I can't remember at the moment but those stand out to me

All music?
 
I just thought of something weirder about myself. Even though, like I said, I don't like music, I love rhythm games (REZ, Rhythm heaven, Guitar Hero, etc)

That is weird. I don't think I've ever met someone who doesn't like music. Like nothing at all? You don't have to be hardcore into it or anything, but is there no combination of tones that at least sound pleasant to you?

Not really, like I put in the previous page, I prefer to have silence or someone talking (podcast, audiobook, tv show, etc) as background noise. The concept of just sitting down and listen to music without doing anything else is completely foreign to me.
 
It's my biggest flaw. I really like being alone and not having a lot of social connections but a lot of the times I envy people with a lot of friends and hate myself for not being like that. I seriously need to change something about that
 
Hm there are a few things. I guess the biggest one would be the variation in the amount and ways I talk depending on the situation. Like I can go days without talking except for ordering food if it's a weekend, but when I'm with my family or in a class I talk a lot. There's also a very strong variation between the ways I talk, to the point where the "online," me, the "university," me, and the "me when I'm with my family," me don't have a lot in common.

There's also the disparity in skill at random things which seems to have little correlation to effort. I'm really talented at rhythm games but I play FPS games like someone who has never held a controller before. Professors seem to like my writing and I've done exceptionally well in a couple economics classes so far but I can't program to save my life no matter how much time I put into it. I can't sweep floors or wrap up food very well despite tons of practice, but I can memorize information about hundreds of users on a message board I've posted on for years with little effort.

I didn't listen to music until my late teens but now I love it and have listened to a very wide variety of genres.

I have a huge variety of sexual fetishes. I didn't include this since having been to some weird corners of the internet I don't think it's that unique but I'm fairly certain I outclass almost everyone ITT in terms of weirdness. I'd rather not bring up some of them all the time.

I don't really get cold (granted I live in an area with pretty mild weather). I literally only ever wear a generic T-shirt and basketball shorts.

More minor things include wearing a big backpack to a lot of places and skipping around my house instead of walking.
 
Never getting sick. I mean, I get the common cold and had a stomach virus here and there. But when that stays with people for weeks or even months, I'm over it in hours or days (entire family got the stomach virus all at once one night, I was better by morning, everyone else was sick for a week or so). I've even made out with one of my exs while she had the flu, didn't catch it.

My ability to completely dissolve relationship bonds without taking an emotional hit I guess? I don't know if it's good or bad, but a several year relationship can end and I don't get upset about it.

I like to have subtitles on when I'm watching tele or a movie but my hearing is fine.
Click to expand...

My gf does this and it drives me mad. Half the time they aren't right anyway. Seeing the standard of subtitles makes me wonder how deaf people who rely on them have any idea what's going on.

My thing is that I am pretty much ambidextrous. I'm naturally right handed, but can write and play sports with my left without it making much difference. I think it stemmed from spending a long time in plaster with a broken arm as a kid. I also tend not to feel a lot of pain. This is quite good in some ways as I used to box, and I skateboard, but can be a problem if a doctor is asking how much something hurts. I always feel like it's not bad enough to make a fuss, even when it turns out to be a nasty injury.
 
I don't need pussy or ass. Give me a blowjob and I'm set.

As much as I love those very close to me, it is extremely easy for me to let go of personal connections and not feel a sense of longing over them. I also get over the deaths of relatives with unsettling ease. Yes I cry upon learning of their death and funeral but after that, they're just gone. Yes I've been told by my family I'm very cold.
