Does that make me crazy?

If you choose to look at life that way, I can understand your struggles. Your attitude controls perception, and perception is reality. If you convince yourself things will get better, and the next thing that happens is someone stands you up for a date, it's "well I wasn't sure I liked him anyway, good change." "Now I can go work-out/watch a movie I've been wanting to see/call up another guy/girl" etc.

OH I REMEMBERED MORE OF MY CRAZY.

I know sign language, and I love to fingerspell stuff.

However, I find myself fingerspelling the last word of whatever I said over and over and over again. I don't know why I do this, and I didn't even realize I do until someone pointed it out. HAHA

I do that, too. Or, like, I'll watch myself fingerspelling something in the reflection of a window and not realize that people are looking at me funny.

Yay! I have done this for years! If I am nervous I will spell what ever I am thinking about. I spell in my sleep too!!


Here's my really odd habit... I sniff the dishes.

My kids are learning to wash dishes and although they may "look" clean they will often smell like a wet dog after they dry.

I share many of the crazies on here.
* I can't sleep with my closet doors open. I'm convinced there are closet monsters and if they have to open the door I will hear them coming and be able to prepare.
* I can't have any body parts hanging over the edge of the bed.
* I can't stand darkness behind me. It's fine if it's in front of me but I hate the thought of something lurking behind me even in my own house where I know there is nothing there.
* I hate, hate, hate mayo but love miracle whip but only eat it with "salad" type foods (i.e. tuna, egg, chicken, etc). I will eat mustard or BBQ sauce on everything. I prefer mustard to ketchup even for my frys (especially honey mustard).
* I mix my peas with my mashed potatoes. If I make meatloaf I have to make mashed potato, peas, and buscuits with it. This way I can mix my potatoes and peas and then make a mini sandwich out of everything on my plate.
* I'm scared of thunder and lightning.
* My money must face the same way, be straight, and in ascending order (comes from previously working retail).
* I will not leave the house without some type of make-up even to get milk. I have to have at least foundation and mascara on.

I'm have tons more but need to get some work done so I'll add to the list later! lol

I sniff cups before I use them. :laugh:

lizdavis07

items on the counters must have labels facing towards me...

i set everything ending with a 7 (alarm clock: 6:57, cooking something in the microwave: 2:37...)

when someone leaves my house, i have to watch them through the blinds to make sure they really left (this only applies to people visiting, not my roommate)

i have to wash my hands at least once every hour (i even have a hand sanitizer keychain that i carry with me everywhere)

i lock the doors at night, crawl in bed, then get out of bed again to go check one more time to make sure they're locked (i do this every night)


there's plenty more...
but i dont think that makes me crazy..many people have some kind of OCD antics...just makes them unique

The sound of crinkling plastic & paper bags. Send sme through the roof. :glasses:

- I can't sleep with my feet outside the covers because I think some ghost might come by and try pulling mah feet!!!!!!!!!!!

mandeiko

I try everything on my plate to give it a fair chance, and then I eat in order of what I liked least to what I liked most. Save the best for last. It is always an epic battle with the fork when I can't decide what I like most!! )

I have an optimistic outlook on life. I don't have qualms with people saying "there is a good chance that if you stay positive and don't give up that things will work out all right in the end" because that is perfectly true. Saying, "well, things WILL get better," is a false statement because there is nothing stopping random chance from running that person over with a bus.

mandeiko

I sniff cups before I use them. :laugh:

Haha I do this!!

Ajontheguitar

I count syllables of sentences, song lyrics, things people say to me, using a basic piano piece I learned when I was 5 years old. I don't do it all day, but I'd say about 60% of the day. I realize, this may actually make me crazy.

mandeiko

I blot my pizza with napkins, eat the cheese, wipe off the sauce, THEN I eat the rest.

BethanieK

I eat M & M's two at a time by color

I used to do that too! Although I haven't touched any in months--I fear I will overindulge in them.

I can not stand gum...the snapping the popping the chomping of it drives me over the edge!! Im the manager of a restaurant and they all laugh when I catch someone chewing gum. If im at a store and someone is snapping their gum loudly i almost have to leave...I know crazy

I hate people who chew gum around me! I tell my 6 year old that she looks like a cow chewing cud! She knows I hate her chewing gum so she only chews it when she goes to see grandma and grandpa on the weekends!

Gum is disgusting. Why anyone would want to chew on something that they don't eat and swallow is beyond me. All I can think of is that with every chew more and more germs are impregnated in the disgusting wad. :sick:

And what makes gum even more disgusting? When it's mint.

I can't stand the taste or smell of anything mint. It literally makes me nauseated. If I am in an enclosed space with someone chewing mint gum I WILL get sick. Yes, toothpaste shopping is so much fun

I could never go to one of those restaurants where it is completely dark or you are blindfolded. I have to thoroughly examine my food before I eat it. Most times I have to smell it first too.
I couldn't wear flip flops for a long time because I couldn't stand the feeling of something between my toes. I'm ok with flip flops now but anything between the rest of my toes makes me cringe (like when you get a pedicure and they use those things to separate the toes)....yuck!

dragonbait0126

I thought of another one.

I can't stand socks. I hate them. I wear them only when I have to (i.e. when wearing my tennis shoes to workout) but as soon as I can they come off. If I could wear nothing but flip-flops I would. I don't wear socks with the majority of my shoes so I'm always putting baby powder in my shoes because I refuse to wear socks. Wet socks from the rain are even worse! YUCK!

kdtann

I smell glasses before I use them, even at home when I have washed them myself.

I will not drink tap water from a hotel room..

I like to plan my future child's nursery decor... and I'm not even pregnant. :laugh:

I eat dry cereal all the time.

I eat dry cereal all the time.

If I eat Lucky Charms I eat them dry. OH and Frosted Flakes. SO GOOD DRY!

Ocarina

I'm absolutely disgusted by left over noodles that have been "drying out" in the pot or are stored in the fridge in a container. I cannot for the life of me dump them out as it leaves a shape of the container it was in. BLECH!

For some dumb reason I'm afraid of weird things like a CD half burnt... it creeps me out to see it only half colored from the laser.

Eggs are also icky. I hate the texture. Which sucks because eggs taste good and they are so healthy I used to like them.

Dried fruit is a no go for me. Sometimes cottage cheese. And yogurt. I'm not a huge fan of dairy save cheese.

Izable2011

I always play with my fork in my mouth and lick it off upside down. lol that sounds bad but it's just something I do. lol

ajbeans

I count the letters on labels, including the ingredients list, when I have some spare time. My showers are often spent counting letters. I really don't like it when I end up with an odd number. It ruins my whole shower experience. I've considered putting all my shampoo in unlabeled bottles just to make my mornings happier. :laugh:

Sometimes if I push a button and it doesn't feel quite "right," I have to keep pushing it over and over again. And it almost never feels right after that, so I eventually just have to force myself to do something else. But I'll feel skeevy for hours afterward. And no, I can't explain to you what it's supposed to feel like. Just now I keep tapping the space bar because I hit it with the wrong part of my thumb a while ago and I can't seem to get it right now. Ugh.

Sometimes I give the voice in my head a different accent.


Like, I don't mean i have voices in my head...hahaha I just mean like, if I'm thinking about something, sometimes I think in a different accent to entertain myself.

>.>


DON'T JUDGE ME.

Izable2011

Sometimes I have to redo the position of my foot on the break peddle at a stoplight b/c it does not feel like it is on there all the way. So I put my left foot on it also while I ajust my right foot to feel like it's on the peddle all the way.

Not judging just laughing!!

msbeavert

It seems like M&M's and crazy go well together....

I have to empty mine all out on a plate or napkin, toss the blue ones, and line them up by color from most to least and then I eat the ones with the least first and so on. Yep.....that makes me crazy.

I'm also another one that can't have my food touching on my plate.

jamielr84

If I go to a freshly cleaned toilet (where you can still see the bubbles or purple cleaner in there) I will flush the toilet 5 times. I have a fear of my pee and chemicals mixing and then exploding while I'm sitting there.

I do this too! But its when I have cleaned my toilet at home and I am afraid my kids will go in there and pee and it will explode on them. So I flush over and over until it's safe again. lol

The one that gets me the most questions is this. I used to work in a place where EVERYTIME you touched something metal, it shocked you like a damn electric chair. Since then I touch every door, elevator, etc with my knuckles before I grab it with my fingers.
