Heres some random stuff that Ive noticed about myself over the years that Ive been thinking about lately.

This is really embarrassing to me... Randomly when someones around me Ill think of something funny and Ill just start laughing or smiling and they dont know why... Kind of tough to explain sometimes if they give you a hard time about it.
Also, Im really emotionally sensitive for some reason, but still much better than I used to be, a little roughing up did the trick I think.
And, I eat really really fast, I practically inhale my food. Its the way Ive always done it and I dont think Ill ever change no matter how much of a problem other people have with it.
Lastly, when I have a lot to think about or when Im very stressed, I pace A LOT, I could pace all day if I feel like I have to. When I pace, I usually also tweak out too, like I have ticks (you know, the whole head nodding eye blinking sometimes noise making thing), and I get really tense and it makes me want to rip my hair out. Or at least back when I had long hair lol.

Thats all thats on my mind right now, next to some of the stuff Im doing now.

I inhaled stuff I was drinking sometimes, and it was a bit embarrassing, but not gross-embarrassing... I do the pacing thing when I'm restless or bored or thinking about something... it helps me think and be creative... I sometiems "tweak" when pacing too... never in front of people, though!


I used to laugh at sopmething I was thinking about, and it was always after someone said soemthing about something tragic, so it sounded like I was laughing at that and they weren't really payuing attention when I tried to explain myself!

Lol
Yeah, Im never gross when I eat, people still look at me weird though.

I do my best to not laugh at others as it has elicited negative reactions in the past, but somedays, I seem to have a non stop dialogue on people's quirks and appearances going on in my head...strange hats and BIG hair are guaranteed to male me giggle as are young guys who walk around with their jeans so low down you can see their underpants..makes you want to give a good tug. Sometimes, if I am in that mood, and someone is talking about something serious, I will end up smirking too or laughing.

I am very emotionally sensitive. Too much so for my own good. Words burn and some know just how to use that against you.
I would love to be one of those with an impenetrable, thick shell around them.

I dont eat that fast. I used to. Might be a man thing, that...

When I am stressed, I can pace from foot to foot, or I will just take off walking at high speed, or I fidget a lot, or I pull out my eyebrows, hence I have none.

I definately smile and/or laugh at the most un-expected times.

I started laughing one day when my Mother and neighbour were having a discusion about my neighbours mother having a double by-pass surgery. I have no idea why because it wasn't even funny, I just started laughing.

Also, I always smile at funerals. I can't help it. I do not feel sad or happy, but just smile un-controlably.

At home, I sometimes eat really slow. I have a rather large mouth, so if I eat fast I may literally bite off more than I can chew.

I do pace if I'm angry or thinking of something frustrating, often in really strange patterns while making hand motions that I'm totally unconscious of. I think this is the result of having to bottle up 20 years worth of violent impulses I experienced from being regularly picked on in school. Even in situations where I wouldn't get in trouble, I was just uncoordinated enough that any serious attempt a fighting back led to further embarassment. It was never that I worried about hurting anyone, since I believed my dumbass antagonists might have had a slight IQ boost if they suffered the occasional concussion.

Um, I don't mean that as an incitement to violence, and I wish I could outgrow my childhood rage, but sometimes I worry that I actually understood human nature and the world around me a little too well when I was eight, and have been hurting myself by warping my mind to conform to some nonsensical idea of maturity ever since.

Oh, getting back to the thread, old jokes will come back to me and cause me to laugh at inappropriate times. Once in high school, some kid started talking about a drive-by in which a friend of his died, and I just felt the impulse to laugh. Maybe because I'd lived such a sheltered life that I never thought I'd meet anyone who'd experienced that, and couldn't mentally process it. I bit my tongue to stop it, but made enough noise that the whole class looked at me anyway, though hopefully I made it sound like I was choking or sneezing.

Hello:
Please stop stalking me and describing my behaviors on this forum.
That is all.

I do that a lot. I'll just start laughing or smiling, usually at the most inappropriate moments. If I try to control it, then I literally can't stop laughing. If someone asks me, most of the time I really can't give them a satisfying answer. I'll laugh sometimes in class or in the middle of a serious conversation. Some people think it's a nervous or shyness thing, but I know it has nothing to do with that. It's more about the continuous monologue in my head that I think has its own sense of humour. And I guess I don't have the same restraint some people have when it comes to behaving appropriately.

Yes on the (1) laughing or smiling to myself (because I daydream constantly), (2) being emotionally oversensitive, and (3) eating way too fast. I don't usually stand up when I am stressed out, so that I don't pace much. But I do a lot of "stimming" when I am stressed.

I do all of those except for eating fast. I eat really slow. In fact, if I'm eating at my desk, sometimes I'll eat so slow that I'll forget to eat and I'll end up having to throw most of my lunch away because 3 hours have gone by and my food is cold and getting gross.

I laugh and smile to myself all the time, and I know people must think I'm a bit weird for it. When I was a kid, I'd think of something funny and I wouldn't be able to stop laughing. It was almost as if I was having a laughing seizure and I couldn't stop it.

I pace a lot too. I was stressed out at work a few months ago and I went outside to try and calm down. The girl who sits by the window that's next to where I was told me she saw me outside pacing and muttering to myself. Great... I didn't even realize I was doing that (the muttering part). I've caught myself wringing my hands when stressed too and just recently, I actually caught myself flapping. That was a weird moment, I always thought that was something I didn't do.

This IS one thing that is wierd about me. I laugh ONLY when:

1. I think something is funny.
2. I think it is REALLY stupid.
3. I am under a lot of stress sometimes.
4. Some somber things.
5. WHO KNOWS!?!?

In fact, sometimes I have been threatened, or yelled at, etc... and I have a LOT of trouble. You see, that fits under #3 and #2, and I guess that makes it #1 as well, so I may actually feel like LAUGHING! Sometimes I HAVE laughed!
