fun thread,
I used to have a ton weird quirks, but only a hardcore minority have survived through the ages.
- I get facial spasms when I'm really busy with something (like playing a game)
I've learned to mostly keep it in check and nobody comments on it anymore.
- I'm really picky when it comes to food, kinda hard to explain, I don't want my food to be in close proximity to food that disgusts me (like an apple in the fridge being close to meat or cheese) in fear of the stench rubbing off ;o (even if it's packaged). Also don't like it if sauce or juice from one thing comes in contact with something else (changes the flavour, change = new = bad).
- if I'm going to eat something new I have to absolutely know what's in it, and even then it seriously bugs me if it's too heterogeneous (like yoghurt with strawberries in it, or apple pie).
- when I'm eating thoughts about stuff that would make me puke bubble upwards (for example: maggot infested pidgeon), so I need to invest my total concentration to keep those thoughts at bay.
- like drivemycar I also have the whole empathy thing, tho' not quite as bad.
also try to never kill any animal (except for mosquitos ofc), and when I do I feel really bad -.- a couple of weeks back I actually cried because I saw a bird get hit by a car ugh.
- talking about crying, I can't help it but I cry a lot (even though every fiber of masculinity in my body screams not to), not because I'm sad or happy per se. Some things just move me so much I can't stand it, like when I'm walking in the forest, or listening to a beautiful song, emotional movies, too much to sum up in fact. Now this wouldn't bother me that much if I had it under control and it didn't happen in public and that people wouldn't automatically label you as a pussy... so yeah it sucks big time!
- In terms of clothing I'm also a bit quirky
, tho' it has also improved a LOT over the years. For the moment wool and clothing that's too tight is out of the question. But when I was a kid I couldn't stand any kind of fabric rubbing against my skin. I even tried going to school in my pyjamas because I found it so much more comfortable
, yeah didn't quite work out..
Hmm I could probably find a few more, but those cover the gist of it. Okay just realised I almost wrote a bible ;d.
TL;DR: hate food, love birds, often made a fool of myself when small.
