Speaking of weird mirror stuff, I almost always open my medicine cabinet all the way when I'm in my bathroom for more than just a few moments so that I don't have to see myself in the mirror. That's a person I just don't even want to even look at anymore.

Yes, I've had multiple therapists.

I have to check that I've locked my door at least five times - like, test the handle five times after locking it. Seems pointless after the first one

Just lock it and then mentally tag it with something completely different every time.

If it bothers you that much couldn't you just cover it with something so you don't have to keep it open?

My commute to work takes about an hour every day. I have yogurt almost every day. I always shake it vigorously before I open the container, to make sure it is mixed (I prefer fruit on the bottom) and that it has been liqufacted enough to drink, rather than spoon out. The shaking is very specific. 20 shakes, rotate 90 degrees, 20 shakes, rotate 90 degrees, 20 shakes, rotate 90 degrees, 20 shakes, open and drink. I also have to take my first drink while I am in a specific part of the freeway.

The shaking makes sense to me. I have figured out the optimal amount of shaking to insure the fruit is properly mixed in. The part that doesn't make sense is that I kept this up when I switched to pre-stirred yogurt.

Walking past a tabletop or desk with nothing on it, I have to run my pinkie tip across the surface as I walk by.

Walking past a wooden wall or something like that, I tend to "walk" my knuckles along the surface.

Or if it's a corrugated feature wall, drag my finger so it makes a sound.

Of course, if you do this sooner or later you catch a fingernail on a splinter or a fixture and cause yourself immense pain for no benefit.

I've been writing in a journal every day since 1994. I've missed some days to be sure, but I've mostly stuck with it. Lots of journals now. I used to have grand plans, but they're all gone, and now the journals are just for me. They often provide me small insights, or just clever ideas or turns of phrases, or what the gently caress was that dream last night?
I almost never go back and read something I wrote previously.

This is what I have been doing the past 15 years. I'm not sure what people would think if they found it. Probably like "You're not that clever."

Catch myself calling myself a dumbass/ dipshit/ fuckin dumshit etc under my breath whenever I do something absentmindedly or fail at something simple

Start art and design projects and then stop when I come down off my high horse and realize yet again that I make bad art and designs and/ or find that someone else has already made something way better or more interesting, adding to my pile of unfinished garbage

My first job was working in a cemetery so this wasn't really an option for me.

The old guy I worked with had a thing about not swearing in the cemetery so one time he bashed his thumb with a hammer and walked outside the fence so he could curse.

I stopped the cemetary thing once I figured that at any given point I was, somewhere on this vast earth, I’m probably at the same latitude or longitude as some dead and buried ghostly person, and not breathing to avoid getting haunted probably wasn’t gonna cut it.

Yeah, my last house was across the street from a cemetery, and given my love of breathing and cussin', any sort of weird "cemetery superstitions" weren't an option. And I'm 99% sure I'm currently sleeping in the same room the previous owner died in in my current home, so... v:shobon:v

Also, I spelled cemetery wrong the first two times I spelled it, as you did, because cemetery REALLY should end -ary, right? It ends with a "tare-ee" sound. Not "ture-ee" like -ery would be.

I've been saving fuel receipts for my car(s) and truck for a little over 20 years now. It originally started out as "well I'm going to figure out some fuel mileage numbers one of these days". It never happened. Probably about 10 years ago I started to just try and figure out how much I'd spent on fuel and sort of chronicle the price of gas over the years but that kinda fizzled out.

I don't think I have every fuel receipt from the last (almost) 21 years, but pretty close. Even from my old car that I stopped driving 15+ years ago.
