I was just kind of curious what kind of quirks you guys have. Not as in typing quirks, unless it's something you do accidentally/unconsciously, just weird things you do. Since I mentioned typing quirks, though, I may as well list some of mine: I always try to type with correct grammar, unless I'm playing a character or sTiRRiNG UP SoME DAnK MEEMEES. The story behind this is actually pretty cute/funny- I only know my Moirail over the internet. Before I met her, I used to not particularly care, I would often leave sentences unpunctuated and uncapitalized and such, and not paying much attention to word choice. She was a good influence on me, though, and always used perfect grammar, and I made an effort- conscious or not, I'm unsure- to type better. A few other things that don't have as much of a story- When I'm in an instant chat app or something of the like, I'll often leave off the very last punctuation unless I'm specifically trying to convey a certain tone. I hold shift when I TYPE IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. (Don't judge me.) My word choice usually shifts to mimic the typing style of whomever I'm chatting with. (When I'm not chatting to anyone in specific, I type like this.) I randomly tap at (but don't press at) the keys, when I'm trying to decide what to type next. Since my first major internet social interaction was over Minecraft, (Again, don't judge me,) I often unconsciously hold my left hand over the AWSD keys when typing. How about you guys?

I have a weird energy buildup that is stored somewhat separately from my normal (hyper/exhausted) stuff; if I don't fidget all day to get it out, either I have to spazz out for an hour or so (to get rid of it), or it just builds endlessly.

Oh, I'm not the only one. When I get anxious, I start pacing and/or put on loud music and start dancing. Any kind of movement, really, but I typically resort to pacing. (This is referring more to specific anxieties such as tests and whatnot, as my coping mechanisms for my actual anxiety and panic attacks are quite different.)

I feel kind of similar: It seems like I have two different energies to expend: one where if I don't get enough sleep I'm tired and one where if I do a lot of physical activity I get exhausted, and just because one is depleted, doesn't mean the other is. In the case of the latter energy, I'm rarely hyper, but it takes a lot to get me exhausted, and even when I do it doesn't last very long. Which is odd considering how little physical activity I actually do.
I also literally cannot sit still. I'm always shifting my position and fiddling with things, and often end up in the strangest of positions as a result. I think the only time I actually don't keep shifting positions is when I'm sleeping.

I hate it that I can't just say fuck you to anyone I want. It annoys me. So much. Why can't there be a fuck you day where you can walk up to some idiot and flip them off without having to pay the price?? It's just such a weird feeling. Some people seriously piss me off.

I may have a lot, but this is one I just did:
I take my glasses off when I go to the bathroom.

Sometimes when I'm really hyped up on adrenaline and/or sugar, I go into my own weird trickster mode and start unconsciously talking in my headcanon Terezi voice.

I guess my eyes are just accustomed to seeing past the water drops and steam. If they get too steamed up, I just run them under the stream

...Alright. I guess my eyesight isn't too bad yet, so I'm not too worried about having to wear my glasses in the shower.

I don't like any sort of condiment on my food. No ketchup for my fries, please. This is the reason why meatloaf is one of my great enemies because it's always covered in ketchup whether I like it or not. When I listen to music or start to really daydream, I begin pacing. One of my main methods to stim is to grab some kind of stringy object and mess with it, usually a loose thread from my jeans. I also play with anything that can be squished and stuff, like Play-Doh or the gum under the school desks.

I don't do this anymore, but when I was a kid, I would eat around the bulb part of popcorn and place them on a paper towel, saving them for last. So I would start off with a bowlful of these: And end up with a napkin full of these: It's because I saw my sister do it, imprinting the ritual into my mind as something that must be important Isn't that more of a confession than a quirk Oh, maybe it is. Looks like I dun goofed. But I'm not really certain this is a "confession", it's nothing shameful, really. A confession doesn't necessarily have to be shameful, just something you'd like to get off your chest

I almost never wear shoes. I even take them off at work, since no one can see me unless they enter or look over the walls of my cubicle.

I don't like many things with condiments UNLESS they are supposed to go together, like cod and tartar sauce or, as you said, meatloaf and ketchup.

I always feel like I need to be doing something with my hands. Usually this results in me fiddling with whatever's nearby (such as twirling a pen or grabbing my water bottle) or if nothing's nearby I might play with my hair or touch my own face.

Ooh, I have some weird ones.
First off, Kernelator, I do those things, too. Namely the humming and monologues.
I salute people with two fingers as means of greeting and farewell. I have no idea why. I sometimes spontaneously start speaking with Anglican slang and tone, despite being a full-blooded American. I blame this on my taste in British Literature. I speak in sarcasm so deadpan, sometimes people don't even realize I'm being sarcastic. On the flip side, I sometimes take other peoples' sarcasm with dead seriousness. Impressions, mimicry, and play acting make me horrendously uncomfortable, but I also love dressing up and puppets. I draw inspiration and guidance from fictional characters to fuel my actions in real life.

Also, the fictional characters thing- I often find myself fixated on a character I relate to, for better or worse. Though, my British accent thing can be explained away by the fact that my dad was from England.
