Most probably shouldn't be posted here, but a harmless, repeated one: I tend to need to fiddle around with some small object, tap my feet or fingers, etc., whenever I'm not concentrating on something important to me, and I always have to be sure to do whatever it is perfectly symmetrical, e.g. I tap my right foot twice soft and slow, then five times fast, and I have to repeat the exact same pattern with my left foot or it will start bugging me. So it isn't actually a compulsion, it just doesn't sit right with me if I don't, as if the universe were suddenly out of order, and will usually go away once I start paying attention to anything.

0.o I do the same thing.

I have most of my coworkers' network passwords and I read their emails.

Oh dear, I've got a long list. Mostly anxiety-related.

- I seem to have phobophobia. For instance, I can't watch horror movies because I'm afraid that I'll be frightened, but if I do, I'm actually rarely startled more than anyone else.

- I have a really good memory, am very anxious, terribly obsessive, and tend to think fatalistically. Thus, I often think of horrible, worst-case-scenario results to mundane things, and can't manage to forget about them for long periods of time.

- On a related note, I often have irrational fears that, while in the midst of them, I realise that they're ridiculous and have a (usually silent) argument with myself between my rational side and my somewhat crazy side. The latter usually wins until after the fact.

- I absolutely HATE touching anything that's not a smooth surface. If I do, I can't stop feeling it, even several minutes afterward, until I go wash my hands for an extended period of time.

- I tend to absentmindedly multitask and get little done with anything sometimes. For instance, I was recently browsing these forums, playing Garry's Mod and DF, writing a text adventure in C++, and performing maintenance on my other computer at the same time.

- If I'm reading, I'll occasionally try to remember what was said a page or so earlier. I absolutely must know (and memorize) exactly what was written there, and I go back several times to check. It's rarely relevant either, just a sentence or phrase, never a whole concept.

I have most of my coworkers' network passwords and I read their emails.

I'd really like to do this. So many people at my school seem to have really obvious passwords. I've been contemplating writing a program that would login to the webmail, get addresses, and plug them in with the passwords 12345 and password. It would then access each account that accepted either of those passwords and send out an email to everyone else with the heading "I should change my password to something less obvious". Think of it as a... public service.

In one of my earlier fits, I carved a hexacle into my thigh.

I start feeling itchy if I keep still. I have to wear silky undershirts because cotton makes me nauseous.

I am not a psychopath or do anything particularly strange other than avoid people.  :|

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Sometimes, I'll have a random compulsion. Literally random. There will be this little, meaningless thing I think of and then decide not to do, and all of a sudden my brain is alight with the desire to do this action. If I refuse, which I did more than once just to prove that I had the willpower for it, my brain responds with a massive flood of depressive biochemicals and I feel like shit for the rest of the day. Definitely not full blown OCD or anything, but similar.

[counting]

As my screen name implied, that I am obsessed with calculating and counting numbers/math problems. If the number have certain characteristic that doesn't satisfied my expectations, I'll do it again and again. And I'll drifted away sometimes on the road with calculating meaningless things, or trying to quantified things like how many cars can cross the intersections from a certain directions with different probabilities, But luckily I am very good at mental arithmetic.

Most psychopathic?  I broke down so much one time that folks thought I was having a psychotic break, and I ended up unable to think straight for a few days--or really remember much that happened that day.  Does that count?

>_>

Oh, we're trying to be funny, I guess.  Uh, I like drawing squid tentacles on my hands, and apparently my normal laugh sounds maniacal.  I'm just a general dispenser of strange things done.

[Darvi]

Actually, being psychopathic involves you being a heartless dick. Like when I dropped that NPC off the ship when I figured that it wouldn't matter if he lived or not :V

[Vector]

Ah-ha, right.  Forgot the difference between psychopathic and psychotic again... well, anyway.  That's probably up there in weird ones, anyway.

[Angel Of Death]

When you say psychopathic, do you mean weird or just plain fucked in the head?

[Taricus]

Well, I've a few thing that I've done to cats that may count, though I'm sure I shouldn't put them up : ...

[Jackrabbit]

I have a weird compulsion.  I become extremely disconcerted when a door is left open.  I can't relax until it's shut.  I don't feel like someone's behind it or anything like that, there's no face to the anxiety.  I just feel like things aren't right.

This isn't really as much a compulsion as something that just happens and half the time I don't even realize I'm doing it.  I think Realmfighter also mentioned doing this.  Whenever I take in a lot of new information, I will mentally start explaining it to myself, in my own words.  Like I said, I don't even realize I'm doing it, it just happens.  I think it's just a way of organizing and processing the information.

Yeah, this a thousand times. Getting bugged by trivial things makes us human, so CLOSE THE DAMN DOOR.
