Questions may linger our minds and we are not sure if it is an amiss or just habitual.
Are you twirling your hair while you study? Do you count the stairs in your house, school or at work? Do you always want to be ahead with someone or something that is in the lead of you? Do you separate meals in different plates? Well some of these things may quite be normal for the others, and of me. There may be explanations for us to understand.
Sometimes I find myself sitting alone in the computer or in my study table or table in school while studying with nothing to do but to touch my hair. Chances are, I’m developing sign languages for people to understand that I’m doing something important or I’m busy studying. It is like “leave me alone” or “step out please, I’m busy”. According to Yale Psychologist, Marianne Lafrance, PhD, “Self-manipulation habits like this are a subtle message to others to stay away.” These actions are just quirks and are not harmful and quite helpful.
Yes. I count the stairs in our house (but not in school). When I go up stairs, I can’t just go up ‘till I reach the top but count everything on it and the way I step to the staircases. They say that a love of counting can be just a quirk. I may have an OCD or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Some may also find this as arithmomania. What if I ask myself what would happen if I stop counting? I think nothing will happen if I stop. Weird?
If I’m outside, I hate slow-walking-people! I admit that I’m a speedy or prompt walker and I don’t want to be walking so sluggish. Whenever people ahead of me and I am at their back, I hurriedly go in advance to them. A professor in Psychiatry said that it is related to psychopathology. LaFrance notes that “finding yourself being right next to someone feels like intimate bahaviour, and when that person is a stranger, the intimacy is unnerving.”
I don’t separate meals. It’s really quite annoying to see people eating with so many plates, spoon and forks above their table. Psychatrist said that people amy tend to have 3 behavioral problems: 1. anorexia nervosa 2. OCD and 3. ASD or autism spectrum disorder. They are not autistics but can lead to that matter. Whatever the cause of that behavior, it may get worse as you grow older and may have treatments.
Well, see, there may be some actions that needs an explanation like this. If I were you, I will take these manners an important concern. It may be quite petrifying but quite helpful.
