Human behaviour is a very peculiar thing. The way one acts in various situations around various people can be very different even though he is the same person, and it is quite interesting to study.

Basically speaking, any person has two behavioural traits. One is when the person is around other people and the other, when he is alone. Even though he is the same person in both circumstances, he can be totally different. It’s like two people inside one person.

For the purposes of this article, we are going to ignore the first scenario, because that’s boring! Instead, we are going to discuss the weird things all of us do when we are alone, as that stuff is interesting in all the right ways!

Calculating Sleep

Just before you go to sleep, you might find yourself doing complex maths in your head. “If I go to sleep in the next 5 minutes, I will fall asleep in, say, 15 minutes. That means I will get exactly 6 hours 30 minutes of sleep.”

Picking Your Nose

Don’t even try to deny it. All of us do it. It’s embarrassing, it’s weird. Let’s move on.

Ignoring a Text

Lets face it. Sometimes we are just not in the mood to talk. And sometimes there are people who just won’t stop if you start texting with them. So, what do we do? We ignore their messages, thinking that we would reply to it later.

But sometimes we totally forget about it and when we reply to it, it is way too late. The damage is irreversible.

Facing the Devil

When going inside a dark room, instead of going in all the way, we reach for the light switch, turn the lights on, and then enter the room, because we are afraid Satan might be hanging around in the room.

Fictional Conversations

This is something I love to do. You picture yourself having conversations with all kinds of people under all sorts of scenarios. You imagine the most intricately crafted scripts and let your imaginary scenes play out.

Stalking People on Facebook

Another thing that we are probably not too proud of. There are so many people on facebook and sometimes you just get bored and well, you need “something” to pass the time, right? So begins the stalking.

The main victims of facebook stalking are the exes. Of course you want to make sure they downgraded after you so that you can laugh in their digital faces!

The Lone Wolf

Lying to your friends about having “plans” on weekends so you can be all by yourself, away from all human contact whatsoever. We all need a break from humanity more often than not!

Eating a Week’s Worth of Junk Food In One Sitting

Those binge-watching phases need the company of junk, packaged food. It just ‘has’ to be that way ok? During one of these phases, we can gobble up an entire week’s worth of junk food. To hell with health, right?

Watching Cat Videos After a Horror Movie

We’ve all dared to watch horror movies at night while alone in our apartments. You know, the thing with horror movies is that it immediately solves your loneliness, because you instantly start feeling like someone is there around you, watching you…..

The only way out is by watching them cute kittens do cute little things and going awww, even if you are a macho guy. An alternative could be baby videos, where babies do stupid stuff and laugh their hearts out!

Leaving a Store, Without Buying Anything

It is really awkward and weird leaving a store without buying anything. You might find telling yourself, “Act natural, you’re innocent. Don’t stare directly at anybody. Go, go, go!”

Fake Laugh

There are a lot of times we just have to pull out a fake laugh. But one of the most weird one is when we are unable to understand someone even after they have repeated themselves for like 3 times. We just start fake laughing and nodding our heads hoping that it is an appropriate response!

Pretending to Text

Without any reason, we sometimes start pretending to text while we are waiting for someone in a restaurant or other places. We also start swiping left or right on our smartphones for no reason and later realise how stupid that was.

Acting Dramatic

When you’re in a car, looking outside the window and a sad song comes on in the car. You start thinking it is a sad music video and you are starring in it! Oh my, we really are weird!

Sniffing Your Armpits

The monkey behaviour is reflected quite clearly in this one. Our animalistic minds need to determine whether or not we stink and what’s the best way to do it? Sniffing your armpits of course! (Ew, I know!)

Dancing Like No One Is Watching

Those weird dance moves you perform when all alone, listening to music at a high volume in your house, might sound embarrassing but you enjoy doing it all the same!
