What habit do you possess that seems very normal to you, but would seem odd to anyone else?

Usually but not always. Sometimes it's just a matter of perspective. I understand though (maybe it's my own neurodivergence, although I'm an ADHD enjoyer social butterfly), and in those cases I just say nothing and nod if needed, lol. For me, the truth is something I discuss with those ready for it, for adults I respect (in the absence of trauma, ofc, some things are better left unsaid if all they're gonna do is cause pain), everyone else gets the kid's gloves treatment, which I don't mind providing since I'm somewhat paternalistic in nature.
I have a bit of a righteous tendency as well. It drives me to feel the need to point out when someone says something false. Which leadership types constantly do. Just a bad combo.
