So apparently my girlfriend thinks it's weird my family keeps a knife in the toilet. You know, just in case it doesn't flush down. I thought everybody did this.

When I mention that I want to try bikepacking/biketouring and mention my bucketlist route around europe (each EU country and capital string together). Peple look at me like I am ready for madhouse room.

I always read out loud. Always. And I do most of my readings while walking. So I imagine hearing me waking around taking to myself make other people think 'wtf?'.
If I have just about any kind of bread, I have an irresistible urge to dip it in liquid. Specifically, chocolate milk, apple juice, or certain types of soup. Peanut butter sandwiches too, but not in soup lol. Well, maybe?
It started in kindergarten. Every morning I'd eat breakfast at school: chocolate milk, cereal, and a biscuit. Chocolate milk goes in the cereal, eat cereal, then dip the biscuit in the milk in the bowl. This continued through fifth grade. I was pretty anti-social to begin with, but this weird quirk scared away any would-be friend who tried to sit with me. Heh.
Never grew out of it though. Now I just do it when nobody's looking. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I say something unique to myself (like the date or something I'm working on today) when I lock the door, so that I can think back to that moment later in the day and remember that I locked the door. Otherwise I start worrying about if I locked the door or not.

Nothing to add, just wanted to say @Rocky60@lemm.ee this is an excellent post!
I love opening Memmy and seeing that I’ve got more replies to this post. I’m surprised people opened up as much as they have

I got a spectrum diagnosis as a kid, but worked really, really hard to get good at socializing. Part of that, and something I still do to this day, is to run lines like an actor when I'm alone, or think I'm alone. I'll say the same thing again and again in different ways, until i've found the "performance" i like.
