I was truly an odd child.
I was afraid to use the bathroom as well, but my reason was because I felt like there were always cameras watching me when I used the bathroom and often times when I was using the bathroom I would use the shower curtain to cover while I was going and I would talk to the camera telling it I knew it was recording me. I was in elementary school for this.
I also snuck into my brothers closet and took their clothes (I'm a girl) I wasn't a tom boy, I just wanted to dress "different" than the rest of the kids. I would also often wear my moms night gowns (the appropriate ones) to school as well.
I once got lectured for walking the wrong way. In elementary school I decided to try and walk differently. I would walk heel first just to mix it up. I'd step using my heel before my toes. Teacher got upset with me and told me to walk normal and stop acting out.
I also pulled my hair out in chunks when I was angry. In elementary (this is where the majority of weirdness came from) when I would get really stressed, including while sitting in a class room, I'd twist a nice chunk of hair in my fingers and yank until it all got pulled out. Did this all the time.
When I'd walk by myself I would sing loudly to myself, this was an every day all day thing.
When walking in the hallway by myself I would act like I was saying "Hi" to all these people that weren't there (people didn't notice there was no one there, did this in crowded hallways)
Uh... Moving on to middle school I had an "imaginary friend" I knew he wasn't there, I just liked to pretend he was. I liked the idea of a person who wanted to be around me all the time and liked me. I had friends but I had an imaginary friend too. Gave him a name and all. At school I would always sit at the edge of my seat to give him room to "sit"
I really could go on and on but you get the point... I was a strange kid and didn't grow out of it until early 20s
