What are the autistic things you do when you're alone?
Come on, I know you have your own things too
I like to pretend I'm in an interview about an important discovery I've made in physics. Maybe I will slip in a casual pop culture reference to show I dont spend all my time doing physics.
Sometimes I also pretend that I'm giving a podcast to an aspiring physicist. And I might let slip my views on race and intelligent, just to see if I can get away with them.
sometimes after i have an awkward social interaction with someone at the grocery store or library or something when i am alone later i will think back about it and randomly shout curse words remembering how cringe i am

>type "ls" and "clear" in command line repeatedly dozen of times
what would motivate anyone to do this
>>9041553
Hence the "autistic" part in the OP title.
>>9041499
>Autistic things you do when you're alone
I watch Anime.
Sometimes when a computer is pissing me off i rip the power cord out or remove the battery.
thank god for ssds and journaling
I have out loud conversations with myself when im alone, mostly as an attempt to figure out my course of action.
I makes me feel at peace, so i get grumpy when i am sorrounded by people 24/7 and can't do that for the sake of keeping social appearances.
>>9041499
I read upside down with my legs resting on the wall and my head resting on the floor
>>9041499
don't type out "clear" op. the shortcut is "ctrl + l"
>>9041499
I imagine you smell like earwax and hot cheetos
>>9041617
how didja know?
>>9041609
There was a time when Europoors thought all Americans did this.
>>9041499
Watch myself in the mirror every 10-15 mins or so. Checking out how I look, what I like about it, what I'd change, my facial proportion and the appearance of my facial expressions,my skin, my hair etc. (Though that's probably the narcissism).Talk with myself all the time out loud. Mostly in third person and replying in first....
...Okay I should stop. Am I deranged?
>>9041876
Nah I do that stuff too
also fuck all those narcissphobes, you shouldn't be ashamed of what you are
>>9041499
>>put on a wig, listen to chopin and pretend I'm Leibniz, making important discoveries for the future of humanity

how bad is it doc? only when im alone
>>9041499
I usually pull on that thing between my legs until white stuff comes out oozing.
It makes me scared though....Am I hurting myself?
>>9041897
Sometimes I pull on it so hard I rip the skin
>>9041906
Well..my daddy taught me a few things too....
like how to not rip the skin by using someone else’s mouth, instead of your own hand...
>>9041527
Ah shit, thought that was just me
>>9041894
Except for the second one (I'm bald now), I do all of the things you've mentioned. I sometimes react verbally to memories I am reenacting in my head when I'm outside, so I started wearing bluetooth headphones so people would think I'm talking on the phone.
Maybe we're not so autistic afterall.
>>9041913
>Maybe we're not so autistic afterall
This is /sci.
I can assure you, you're all autistic
>>9041913
they're basically all ocd things
I get this notebook i bought in a tigger store and i start decomposing numbers as product of primes. It might seem autistic but it helps me relaxing, it gives me sommething wich requires attention so i forget other things and it gives me agility with basic numbers wich turns out to be helpful
>>9041922
>le special ocd snowflake xD
no fucktard, they're all normal human things.
who the fuck doesn't make random noises and movements when they're bored?
>>9041944
lol what has got you so upset
>>9041947
i hate when people label everything as ocd
not everything is fucking ocd, go read a book about it and stop being a baby boomer retard
>>9041956
well i didnt, so i dunno what to tell you
>who the fuck doesn't make random noises and movements when they're bored?
yeah people hum and twirl their thumbs or whatever but thats not what i ment
Do you have severe OCD? Is that why you're so upset, you think I am minimizing OCD?
>>9041499
if a stranger touches me I start shrieking
>>9041574
This
Sometimes when I'm manipulating an expression or formula and no one's looking, I pretend to hold a physical copy of it in my hands, and then act out the manipulations (e.g. 'setting aside' terms that are unchanged, 'throwing away' terms that go to 0, moving it back and forth between two imaginary start/end points to simulate a bijection).
>>9041574
Also this
>I imagine myself in the future, after solving the collatz conjecture, giving an interview about that. I'm handsome and I dress pretty well, and I'm also a swaglord just like von neumann. The scientific community and the brainlets would see me like someone above humanity
>I talk to myself like I'm giving a lecture on real analysis (I actually see myself teaching in the future)
>I walk in circles in my living room for hours thinking about a math subject (it helps me to think)
Now that you guys said, I think I'm also narcissistic as fugg. I spend some time looking at myself at the mirror, and I fucking love my body proportions.
>>9041967
I DONT HAVE FUCKING OCD WHY ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT OCD ANYMORE YOU DONT EVEN HAVE A POINT
I get on /sci/ and call people a piggot
When I'm alone and bored, I keep thinking about exotic CPU architectures, create new concepts, and evaluate if it is possible to execute. Do not bully me.
>>9041998
is this a kind of cry for help
