Every time I get up and leave a place, I quickly glance back a second time just to be sure I didn’t forget something where I was sitting. I also talk to my cat constantly, and I’ll never walk out of a store without purchasing anything without getting a pang of guilt because the employees might think I’m stealing. And as it turns out, these are all perfectly normal human habits!

Redditors have been discussing those odd things that we do instinctively but don’t often talk about, and they’ve confirmed that many of our “weird” behaviors are totally normal. Enjoy scrolling through this list, and be sure to upvote the not-so-strange little things you do too!
