BAREFOOT BRETHEREN !!! IVE FOUND MY PEOPLE! But uh other than that what DONT I do that people find weird πŸ˜… I’m constantly cONSTANTLY moving around o hyperactively- if I’m not dancing or swaying, then I’m vibrating or shakin my hands around or just stimming in general πŸ˜‚ I also tend to!! Bite people!! That are close to me that I’m just excited about (Cue quarantine sad times πŸ˜”). My partner thinks it’s weird I eat chickpeas straight from a can. I occasionally will slip into accents or silly voices to spice things up πŸ₯΄ idk if that’s really weird though or if everyone does that. When I sit at a desk I sit really close to it and put one leg up over my desk so while I’m hunched over it, at least one of legs is right next to me (I’m pretty bendable).

I like to walk bear foot everywhere and i like a cat sometime. I never was make of fun of for it, my mom hated me walking bear foot everywhere but she gave up quickly πŸ˜….
For the cat part my friend tend to find it funny and was even encouraging it, they used to give me ribbon and bell as a gift πŸ˜….

My friends often notice that I act like a cat. And I do that often, like swiping my nose when someone touch it, playing with ribbons and pom-poms, licking my fingers like a cat when there's sugar on it, stretching in weird poses, walking as silently as possible...

I remember doing that on purpose for fun when I was a kid but not anymore XD so I'm as surprise as them when they say "are you a cat or something ?"
Anyway
Never saw people really annoyed by it but they surely find it weird

i do the tippy toe thing and my family has always been worried about it shortening my hamstrings also im ALWAYS listening to music with headphones i cant stand silence and i will not listen to it without headphones because ROAR is a band i listen to and my parents don't need anything else to worry about lmao

Apparently I tie my shoes in a weird way. Everyone is always confused when they watch me tying up my shoes. I hav no Idea why xD

I have an urge to poke everything even if I've done it already before and I know what it feels like, I need to poke it and then sometimes I'll hold my finger in/on it for a bit.
I think that's a neurodiverget thing but most of my friends find it funny that I'll just poke their shirts sometimes or the bus seat :/
Another thing is going into a weird gremlin stance where I hunch over, hold out my hands so my elbows are horizontal with my shoulders and bend my knees out and walk like that or more like hop from one foot to another and move forward.
