What are annoying habits of yours?

I laugh at everything have to constantly cover my mouth when someone talks about a tragedy and hope they don't realize I'm laughing and think I hate them. I can make eye contact if I'm doing something like an interview but hate to make it other wise. I have to constantly be doing something so I pace around in circles will fumbling with objects or snapping my fingers and doing fidgety things.
 
I repeat myself too much, often saying what I already said in other words, giving no new information beyond padding my writing with reiteration,

^ Case in point.

I want to point out some pretty fun quirks I've also noticed about you; that I've been wondering if they're intentional or not.

You're such a science fiction buff, I've found you use more complicated and borderline scientific terms at times, vs the more standard variety, to the point I didn't even notice at first.
Where I would use something like "definitely", you opt for "definitively" almost exclusively, which at a glance look so similar, I didn't notice at all for awhile.
And another time you opted for "temporal" vs "temporary"!

You must be a scientist at heart or something, haha; but really, I don't think they're annoying or anything, instead pretty cool and make you unique! Just curious if you realized them yourself or if they were intentional. :P

Oh, here's one I'm surprised I forgot: I look off to the right when I go into thought, and I look up and to the right when I pause to think in a conversation. The few times I've tried talking without doing it were painful.
Those are common 'micro-expressions' that cops and other assorted spooks are taught to look for when interrogating perps. Apparently there's a specific meaning to what direction the subject's eyes roam after a question... as you've noted.

Up and to the right is memory recall, left is a lie. IIRC.
 
I have a tendency to pester people if they don't immediately respond to a question I asked them. But I usually do this only with family members and close friends.

I tend to get easily annoyed and frustrated with people if I tell them or explain how to do something but they just say "what?" or "huh?" and I have to repeat it, especially if it happens more than two times.
Also have a bad tendency to talk to myself when working, I need someone to agree with my mind during work so I just agree with myself, lol.
 
Talking to myself while walking to the store or if I'm watching/playing something i talk about the story/lore as though I'm talking to someone else but it ends up being myself answering or adding to it.

If I'm smoking cigs on my balcony for some reason i still act like i used to back when i first started i.e. being paranoid if my sister or mom see me doing it so i look like a fucking crackhead during every drag checking to see if anyones walking around inside.

Thinking about something funny and laughing out loud like a fucking lunatic.
 
I say "you know", especially at the end of sentences, way too much. I try to stop myself when I'm around people other than family.

that’s exactly what I was going to write here. I use “y’know” as filler the way other people use “like” or “um” but it’s really only when I’m relaxed/going on at length/thinking about what I want to say as I’m talking.

I peel my finger (and, in my room, toe)nails
I crack my knuckles
I curse too fucking much
Years of autistic depression slobiness makes my "yeah that's pretty clean" look like a fucking nightmare to normies
I've mostly gotten past this one but I used to be bad about making friends/family listen to autistically specific details about the shit I care about and getting offended when they wouldn't show interest but quickly and obviously tuning them out when they talked too long about things I didn't care about
