I bark. I whistle a LOT. I dance and talk to myself. Well, to my friends in my head. I speak Spanish to people all the time and it never occurs to me that they don’t understand.
Those are a few of the ones that stand out to others.
What are some eccentric things you do that people notice, or that you notice?
I’m a bit ‘left of center." The psych hospital pdoc once called me, odd Strange, and eccentric’ the first time we met, but I’m not really sure why.
I can’t think of anything at the moment…
When I’m alone I whisper my thoughts, grin and talk to myself, in public I only move my tongue without moving my lips to hide it.
When I talk with someone I pace back and forth.
Some people told me that my walking style is weird and they can recognize me from afar, they also told me that I look like a hippi because I wear sandals with socks.
In the past I used to go out in pajamas for rationalistic reasons but I had to stop because I attracted the police too much and some people laughed at me.
I have a pet skull he like a pet Rock but is a skull
I do talk with guess there is that, he is called Fred.
Along with the normal talking to self, odd hand twiching, odd body language.
Wearing winter clothing in summer and not feeling the heat not sweating along with my youfull looks got me called undead is silly.
Some I guess I could note after reading this post but never once considered eccentric: I’ll sort of rock bath and forth while talking to people (only subtly), I tend to repeat what people say after they’ve said it but usually a single word or maybe two words, I talk to myself out loud but mostly as a sort of sounding board (because everyone else either seems uninterested or bored with the things I talk about).
I wear the same pants daily unless on weekends, which is where I only wear boxers and even when going to check the mailbox, that’s all I’ll wear. I some times go without washing my clothes for weeks mostly due to lack of motive.
I’m definitely eccentric but growing up I was the opposite of eccentric.
It wasn’t until I faced serious psychosis I came eccentric. Then the meds dulled me. But I kept coming off them now I’m permanently eccentric even on meds.
I got called a weirdo in grade school, I think third grade, because I kept rocking and picking at my pants. Then was called a freak (in a good way) in high school during band practice, because I had a specific ritual I did with the reed in my mouth before I played clarinet.
I have a long beard which is always growing . I shave my head. I wear shorts all time even in winter. I talk to myself. I wear socks each of different colour etc etc.
