I have had this weird little quirk for most of my life now And I wondered if anybody could possibly have it or something like it.

I don't like math, the whole process of it (It was always my weakest subject and it is confusing and frustrating) but I like what I call "making numbers bigger" I just like to add things together, like say when I have a simple addition or multiplication problem I like it when the numbers get really big. I do it for a lot of things too. I like to record keep my highest scores in games. I used to love playing Pokemon games when I was a kid because the more you battled the more experience points you get and you level up. I always used one Pokemon to try and get its level higher.

And speaking of Pokemon I have a Pokemon Pikachu pedometer (it's really a step-counter) that I like to shake a lot. It also helps to calm me down when I'm feeling stressed or angry.

Just wondering if anybody else had anything like this. Thought it would be interesting to share.

Not me; but I do keep a mental tally of various things in life. Number of times this happened, the total cost of such and such over the years.

I keep mental tallies too! Especially the "number of times such and such happened"!

I love finding things I have in common with other people here. :)

I did that as well but it's really bad tactics. I was 13, I didn't care.
