If other people weren't around

Do you do what you want to do regardless of how weird it looks, or are you conscious of looking normal?
Most of the time I'll do my own thing, and only occasionally go out of my way to adhere to whatever someone else is doing.
A good example are roof rabbits. People around here are quite fond of them, they like to catch them, enslave them, give them ridiculous names, and ascribe all kinds of human emotions and characteristics to them. This would be fine if it wasn't for the fact that they taste absolutely delicious, and their fur is so soft that it makes a good material for winter clothing.
That being said, if someone I know is really fond of their roof rabbit, I don't mind treating it as non-food for as long as it pleases them.

I once had a flatmate who pretended not to be home for some reason I don't understand, and it really pissed me off. Even if I was only doing something innocent and slightly weird, like watching the same scene if a movie 10,000 times, I still would not do that if I was aware anyone else was watching / listening. I'd be doing all these quirky things thinking that no one else was in the house, then I'd find out he'd been "secretly" hiding in his room the whole time, cracking the door to spy on me occasionally.
That's a daily source of panic for me - losing track of whether my parents are home or not, and how 'weird' I'm allowed to behave. (I tend to pace around talking to myself about stuff that makes no sense to anyone else!)
