People Are Sharing The Weird Little Things That We All Do Or Experience But That Nobody Talks About

There are things we all do that, if you stop and think about them, are kinda weird but, at the same time, are also perfectly normal. For example, all of us [or at least the majority of us] will sometimes talk to ourselves out loud when we're alone.

Recently, Redditor broken__defraculator wanted to talk about those quirky habits we all do when they asked: "What’s a weird little thing that we all do or experience, but no one talks about?"
