Say things about self-harm that would get me committed, and masturbate in ways that (most) society would never accept.

Definitely done it standing on my head once, just to see if I could.

[–] NKBTN@feddit.uk 8 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

Experience Tourette's-like symptoms. If I remember a painful memory, usually to do with regret or embarrassment, I shout a string of unrelated words. Luckily this doesn't happen in company

[–] Ardyssian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

Similar - I don't say anything coherent, just contort my face and say things like Patrick from Spongebob (i.e. leedle leedle leedle lee)

[–] tlmcleod@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I do something similar. But it's usually just weird noises or saying stuff like "fuck ass cunt removed" for really no apparent reason. I'm guessing it has something to do with "stimming" and my ADHD. Might be related to that for you as well?

[–] NKBTN@feddit.uk 0 points 3 hours ago

Seems likely. Got nearly 30 years of pretty regular alcohol, cannabinoids and occasional disco biscuits under me belt

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 0 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I do that too, I think it's a symptom of my OCD

[–] NKBTN@feddit.uk 0 points 8 hours ago

I'm not an OCD kinda guy meself, so I couldn't be definitive about it

[–] monovergent@lemmy.ml 11 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

All the fun stuff that "society" and "etiquette" denies us:

  • Make weird noises with my mouth and imitate cartoon characters
  • Fart, burp, pick my nose, and pick eye boogers
  • Listen to the same song out loud on repeat
  • Laugh maniacally at funny videos

Make weird noises with my mouth

The amount of beatboxing I do while alone is staggering.

Read the biology of belief

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fart in comically obnoxious ways. Examples include the Doggy Leg Lift, the Goatse, the Modified Goatse, and one I simply call β€œThe Hamburgler’s Revenge.”

[–] vrek@programming.dev 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Look up Jimmy Carr's laugh it's Umm... Unique.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 21 hours ago

Dude laughs like a sociopath. He also does most other things like a sociopath though.

[–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Loudly say what I really think of certain people.

My God, the one time I wasn't on mute almost ended my career

[–] BertramDitore@lemmy.zip 13 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I feel this. A few weeks ago I was having problems with the headset I normally use for meetings, so I had to dial into the call on my phone while still watching the screenshare on my computer. When the meeting was over, I forgot I was still connected to the audio call on my phone, and I made a huge loud sigh followed by β€œugggghhhh fuck this shit.” Everyone heard me and cracked up. I passed it off as me cursing out a different technical issue, but the people that knew, knew.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

I KNEW IT

just kidding, I've never seen you before

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Sounds juicy af, please tell us the story!

[–] Spinoza@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My mind goes ``Hey buddy, what if we started doing that negative self talk out loud?"

I repeat the negative talk out loud imagining I'm SpongeBob doing the meme. It helps put that voice into perspective.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I sing songs to my cat, usually remixes involving "my wittle kitty" or "monkey monkey cat."

I'm a "grown" man almost 40 I swear. Lol

[–] klep@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 hours ago

I sing random shit to my dog and cat a the time. I also baby talk my dog in public. I'm a near a 40yr old man too. There's dozens of us!

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago

Masturbate.

Take a shit.

Beyond washing my hands pretty much all personal hygiene.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I like to sneak blueberries into people's pockets.

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I feel like this is a reference to something...

[–] Twig@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 hours ago

Stalin did something similar with tomatoes

[–] vrek@programming.dev 7 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I hope not. I hope it's just for pure chaos.

Like imagine going to the store, everything is normal and you pay like normal. Then you leave and stop to get gas and grab your wallet and somehow there is a blueberry in your pocket. I'd start questioning reality...

[–] tlmcleod@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 hours ago

It may not be a reference directly, but it's a common enough thing that it's been included in pop media, usually in a comedy setting of course. Can't imagine a drama with sticking random food like hot dogs in people's pockets lol

Dance like nobody's watching. Get that stanky leg goin

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Play the edgy music.

Beat up a pillow.

Eat unhealthily.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 day ago

I do that too. With my arms out to the side. Sufi style

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

Sing out loud.

I'm not a cruel man, so I don't do it in company.
