Do you have a strange tick or behaviour that you do?

Question

Preferably something you've done since childhood and don't even notice you're doing it.

Answer 1

When I was little whenever I was choking (like something went down the wrong pipe) I was always taught to raise my hands in the air. But somewhere along the way (boys will be boys) I changed it to raising my hands in the air and sticking up my middle fingers. You would be surprised I never got yelled at for doing that when I was young. I do it today But I dont choke much :)

Answer 2

I have several..

I have been biting my nails since I was an infant. I don't notice I am doing it until I have bitten the nails to the quick and it hurts.

I also have a leg twitch... My leg will bounce up and down, and I never notice it until it irritates someone enough for them to tell me to stop. This seems to be genetic though as more than half of the members in my family seem to have this trait.

Answer 3

Tic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

A tic is a sudden, repetitive, stereotyped, nonrhythmic, involuntary movement (motor tic) or sound (phonic tic) that involves discrete groups of muscles. Tics can be invisible to the observer (e.g.; abdominal tensing or toe crunching). Movements of other movement disorders (e.g.; chorea, dystonia, myoclonus) must be distinguished from tics. Other conditions (e.g.; autism, stereotypic movement disorder) also include movements which may be confused with tics. Tics must also be distinguished from compulsions of OCD and seizure activity.

Answer 4

Picking my nails. It is a habit that I have had since I was a child. It began when I stopped sucking my thumb. I also itch, sneeze, and weeze a lot because I have asthma, allergies, and four skin disorders. In the song from Avenue Q "It sucks to be me."

Answer 5

Clean my fingernails. Even if I'm sitting in class or something, I'm always picking dirt out from under my fingernails.

Answer 6

Staring out in space. People have to knock me out of it most of the time. I don't even realize I'm doing it.

Answer 7

I sort my M&M's by color and then eat them one at a time, being very careful to keep the same number of each color left.

Answer 8

I do this... weird.. thing. where I roll my lip, sort of. it's hard to explain, but I never notice I'm doing it. Been doing it since high school.
