I Have an Idiosyncrasy

Hi, my name is DW and I am a hair twirler. When did this happen?

I know I have been doing this for a while because people I work with will randomly walk by my desk, stare at me until I notice them and make some weird joke about me being flustered, confused or in a daze. Usually they are right.

I realize this habit makes me look a little dumb but I see no chance of it stopping anywhere in the near future. 1) I do not plan on cutting my hair to a length that would prevent hair twirling and 2) It has become a subconscious thing. I really don’t even realize that I am doing it.

When I was little I sucked on my finger. Not thumb, but finger. I guess I was daring to be different in a retarded kind of way. Actually, that finger sucking led to my dad nicknaming me “bucky beaver”, braces, and when I refused to wear a retainer, invisiline. That is so not cool.

Is my hair twirling going to lead to bad things as well? It must look pretty unprofessional/ stupid. (Insert hair twirling in a bad blonde joke)

What would be cool is if people really do start to think I’m a flake and stop asking me to do so much. In that case, this idiosyncrasy could work in my favor…
