If I’m out in public (grocery store, school pick up line, doc office, etc), I’ll have a quick thought of “I wonder if anyone is reading my mind right now. Quick! Don’t think of anything weird!” and then I proceed to automatically start thinking of weird s**t or trying to tell this imaginary mind reader that I’m totally not a weird person or side-eyeing people that I see.

The amount of water I can consume. I know they say you should drink when you are thirsty, but I can be thirsty a lot, especially during warm weather / summer days.

I can easily drink 100oz (or about 3L) of water a day.

#12

When I eat cereal (or other small separate food like corn or peas) I’ll split it evenly in my mouth so I chew evenly on both sides. If one scoop has an odd number in it, I’ll keep a tally of which “side is up” to know to put the next on bit on the other side.

I really thought this was normal until I told my wife that I do this and she has assured me that it isn’t, along with making sure everyone else knows that I do this abnormal thing.

#18

My foot wags when I’m really happy. I’m sure it’s “normal” in the sense that it’s just an outlet for extra energy, but I don’t know if other people have a waggly foot.

P.S. I used to think it was something I was just making up, but the boyfriend tells me I do it in my sleep too! :D.

I daydream constantly. I’ll sit there and be imagining I’m the hero of some story, or I just won a billion dollars and how I’m spending it. I just have an imagination I get lost in when nothing is happening.

#21

Always wondered if this was normal but never asked.

I am talking about the pitch, tone etc.
