An obsession can range from a secret pleasure to a daily ritual you abide by. Everyone has their little quirks, it's what makes us human.

 

A few examples of obsessions;

Nail biting

Brushing your teeth in the shower

Clicking your joints

Refreshing forums for threads/replies

Perfectionism (avoiding cracks on floor tiles, 'dissecting' food)

Egosearching

Compulsive spot squeezing

 

I think one of mine would be being obsessed with replies on a thread that I've just posted in, and the fact that I like editing my posts because of minor grammatical errors.

 

Post your obsessions/weird habits! Are you a freak like me?

I've been watching that show one BBC3, very interesting. I'd don't think I have many specific odditys apart from my character.

I bite my nails. Constantly.

When I'm given a plate with say, corn, potato salad, and mashed potatoes, I'll eat all of the corn, and then all of the potato salad first, then all of the mashed potatoes. I won't take a bite of this one, then this one, then this one.. I'll eat all of one, then move over to the next one.

OCD collector?

After almost every time that i've used the cooker or the coffee brewer, i go back after one min and check if it's turned off.

I think to myself "hm, i'm certain that i did turn it off. Well, maybe... Maybe not. Ok, i'll go check it just in case" lol.

And 99% of the time it's already off.

I do stuff like this.

 

Like I'll turn my alarm on my phone for the next morning. I check, make sure its on and put it on my charger. Than I check it like 3-4 more times to make sure that it didn't magically change or turn off or something.

 

 

Don't know why but I've just gotten to the point where certain things I'll check again and again just to make sure.

Hello, Me.

I sort of click my teeth with music, sometimes, if I'm in a place where I can't tap or handdrum along. Think Guitar Hero INSIDE MY MOUTH. Sort of hurts my jaw somethimes, I think... or not. I don't really like it.

 

Also, if my lips are chapped or something, and there's hangnail sorta things on my lips, I sort of chew them off, further not being good for my lips. I need chapstick.

 

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. There's probably more, I just can't think of them cuz they presumably aren't detrimental in any way.

I chew on my pens. Way too much.

Oh, I crack my knuckles a lot. I can crack them non-stop for pretty much any amount of time (I've done 15 minutes without noticing before, I don't know how long I could go for). It's good for when there's a completely silent room, because it's quite loud, and people can never tell where it's coming from.

I need like 5-6 pillows on my bed to sleep. I won't sit on a toilet seat without having some Lysol wipes. Then I obsess over my vintage bicycles. Always in the garage cleaning and polishing them, even if I haven't ridden them since the last time they were cleaned.

Highlighting text as I read it on the computer.

Dismantling and reassembling pens.

 

:S

I uh... I misread that...

You thought I said penis right?

Da.

I'm a perfectionist as well.

I chew on my pens to the point they break. That sucks.

i used to do that...Then one day I just stopped.

I generally rely on my sense of smell for a lot of things, I don't really know how to describe that one but I usually get call out on it.

Alright, let's do this.

 

- Chewing the skin around my nails, and peeling my nails instead of chewing them.

- Alphabetizing my book collection (By last name of author, and the author's books also ordered alphabetically)

- Taking about 3 times as long to do dishes as everyone else because I wash/rinse them multiple times.

- Shaving multiple times, washing hair in the shower multiple times if the need strikes me

- Ordering my wardrobe, there needs to be an even number of shirts hanging there

- Replacing headphones every week, cleaning entirety of computer every month

- Cracking pretty much every joint in my body to the point that it annoys people around me (jaws, fingers, toes, knees, back, you get the picture)

- Mouthing a sentence softly after I say it, kinda like weighing the words in my mouth, seeing if there was a better way I could have phrased it (I've gotten better with this, at first I wasn't even aware I did it)

- I spot errors in writing pretty easily, which I've always done, but now I get paid for it

- And I brush my teeth in the shower, too, but that doesn't seem like an obsession to me. ._.

That's me.

But would you go as far as to try and separate rice from a curry, or the spaghetti from the sauce?

 

One weird thing I've started doing; I do a little reality check before I go to the toilet

I'm a grammar Nazi, I bite my nails, I crack my knuckles, I daydream, and I wait for people to make references to The Office in threads.

I bite my lips a lot and pull off skin. Same with the inside of my lips.

 

I also chew on pens but that's when I'm thinking of something. Kinda disgusting cause I sometimes do it with pens that aren't mine lol.
