Ok, so since I'm incredibly self-conscious I tend to pour over every minute little thing that I do whenever I'm around people, and some of them are quite strange. The point of this thread is for you to share some of the bizare quirks of yours that you think are somehow related to your social condition. I guess I'll start and maybe an example will clarify what I'm talking about here.
So, I've developed the strange habbit of not looking at people. I somehow feel that I'm not allowed to look at them because I'm so inferior to everybody. Whenever I do find myself observing somebody, I feel like a naughty little 8th grader peeping into the ladies' locker room! What makes this quirk particularly quirky is that, since I'm so worried about people observing me and talking/giggling about me, I'm always very tempted to see what they're up to, but cannot bring myself to look at them directly. It's like a game! (a very messed up, morbid game of social ineptitude...but a game nonetheless!)
Other times I kind of turn into stone. I feel that any kind of motion I might make will be wrong somehow, so I try not to do anything. If I'm hot, there's no way I'll take off my jacket. If I have to sneeze, I won't go into my bag to get a tissue, etc...
Well, I hope to hear some intersting peculiarities from all of you!
