So what idiosyncracies do you have?

I can't sleep without the covers on at all. I don't know why, but for some reason I feel vulnerable unless I have the covers over me.
Also, I can't do anything unless there is some background noise. Whether I'm doing work, or just on the internet, I have to have some noise in the background, from the TV or just music. Sitting in silence unnerves me.
 
Let's see... well it's kinda like the above person. I can't sit in one spot for to long without shaking my leg for some reason. But whatev alot of pple seem to be like that.

I have the exact same ones O_O Lets see, others i have:

I cant sleep on my back, i have to sleep on my side.

On my plate of food, the different food items can NOT be touching each other. I cant stand that.

When i eat a meal, i eat one thing at a time.

If i crack a knuckle on one hand, i have to crack the exact knuckle on the other hand else i'm left with a horrid feeling of being unbalanced.

I have those same issues as well. Even if its terribly hot, I have to at least have sheet on or something. And I have to have some sort of music or noise going at all times. A lot of times, I'll just turn on a fan or something.

I cannot stand for any lights to be on when I'm trying to sleep. I always turn off everything in my room from the tv to my surge protectors. I also have to make sure the hall light is off and the back porch light because it shines in my window.

I also have issues using any product that hasn't been closed properly, such as toothpaste, peroxide, mouthwash, dental floss, etc.
 
I can't have socks on when I sleep. Kinda gives me the feeling that I'd be too warm when I finally doze off.

As with the previous poster, I also have that knuckle-cracking problem.

When I think of others, I'll post them up.

I've got that one too. Even in winter i wont wear socks to bed. Actually i try to wear as little clothes (or none) as possible to bed because the clothes always rub against the sheets and it just annoys me to no end.

I cant stand to wear my shoes inside the house either. As soon as i get home i have to take them off, it just feels so annoying. I dont know why, cuz it's not like wearing shoes actually bothers me...i just hate having them on in the house for some reason.
 
I prefer to call them "stupisyncracies" :monster:

Alot of mine relate to feeling unbalanced or untidy, for example:



+ If I change the volume on the TV it has to be changed to an even number

+ If I bang my arm on a door frame, I go back to bang the other arm

There are more but, meh...
 
- I seem to always move one of my legs, especially while sitting at the computer. It gets kind of annoying sometimes but I just do it.

- I can't sleep on my back either, it's just uncomfortable to me and I simply don't like it.

- I can't sleep with any background noise except for my television, anything else keeps me awake. I have my television on usually to block out any background noise.

- When I get really bored or nervous, I chew the inside of my lip to the point where it bleeds. I just randomly do it, it's silly but oh well. :P
 
I basically have most of the ones mentioned above, such as the covers and stuff, as well as shaking the leg when you're not doing anything.

I listen to music all the time, if that counts. Also, mouthing the words of the song I'm listening to. I've done that countless times; in front of the computer, reading a book..... xD

And doodling, it seems like an unbreakable idiosyncrasy. I just have to doodle whenver I get my hands on paper.
 
I can't sleep with a shirt or covers on. It just bothers me like my movement is being restricted.

And usually, I hate when there isn't anything on in the background. It makes my surroundings feel very unsettling.
 
I am more comfortable sleeping naked. Although, if I am really tired, I can sleep anyway.
 
That's creepy Koloth. :monster:

I have the same problem too! (I thought I was the only one.)

I also need to have sheets over me when I go to sleep.

When I go to bed, I need a pajama shirt on no matter how hot it is.
 
I can't do homework, read or concentrate on writing without any noise in the background. I need the tv on, music playing or I even go to a busy place in order to concentrate. The quiet just makes me feel uneasy
 
I have the issue with balance, also. If -say- something had been rubbing against my right forearm, I'd have to rub the left for a similar duration until it felt the same.

I also need (haha, "need") to add more milk on my cereal after I've filled it up to a satisfactory level. Even if it's just a tiny drop, I do it all the time. Same with pouring water from the tap.
 
When i'm sitting and doing stuff, or eating, i usually shake my leg, without knowing, and i also have to have some kind of noise on the background when i'm doing stuff, reading a book or online, usually music or tv, i cant concentrate otherwise.

When i sleep i only wear my boxers, even if its cold, no socks either, and i cant fall asleep unless its totally dark, and i have to listen to music. I always turn everything off at the mains power as well...

I think theres more, but i cant think of any at the moment...

Same. I feel the need to have more milk than necessary on cereal, and I always have to add that little extra once I'm done.

:lol: I do this too. And then after I finish all my cereal I get edgy about how I have to drink all this milk and sludge afterwards. xD
Sometimes I just pour it down the drain when I'm not feeling like finishing everything.

Also, I like sitting on the floor more than sitting on a chair or sofa when playing video games or watching TV. I have no idea why.
