I’d love to hear about your quirky habits.

One of mine is that when I’m out in nature I tend to collect cool looking rocks, sticks, cones etc. My window sills have become a geology exhibit (and I have zero clue about what I’m collecting, I just go by “ooh shiny”) and more often than not I’ll have small rocks in my pockets, bags, backpacks etc etc

    I will also eat the same foods for breakfast and lunch, sometimes for years on end.

    You wouldn’t happen to be neurodivergent, would you? Food hyperfixation is super common in folks with ADHD and/or autism; eg. I’ve been eating salads for a couple of months straight 😅 There’s variation between them but usually the base is boiled whole grain barley, different greens (but almost always including spinach), bell pepper, cucumber, scallion, maybe some sprouts, some vinaigrette, and then this absolutely lovely mirin-marinated tofu you can get from stores here

      Yep, I’m autistic with a side helping of ADHD. I know that not varying my diet is bad for my health, so my dinners are extremely varied and usually plant-based, but I need my comforting sameness at breakfast and lunch.
