I tear paper and roll it into tiny balls
OK, this has been going on for as long as I can remember...at the very least 7+ years.
I basically tear a small piece off of a piece of napkin, envelope, tissue, toilet paper, or some other piece of paper (wherever I am) and roll that portion into a small ball about 1/8th to 1/16th in diameter (about the size of couscous or large grains of sand). I sometimes do this unconsciously, but mostly I realize I am doing it; and even try to stop sometimes, but continue in a few minutes. I remember when I was in college a while back (let's just say 10+ years ago) I had notebooks with the covers half torn off like a mouse ate them, that's how bad I used to be. I sometimes like to roll/twist larger pieces of paper usually like tissue or napkin work the best like a drill bit, only smaller of course, and then fold one side over and twist it further (like a helix) and then keep doing that until it is small enough that I can roll it into a ball. Then I just throw it on the ground.
A few years ago I'd have little piles of this stuff end up in various areas of my apartment, that when swept up amounted to about a cup or two of little balls.
I could go on, but I think you get the idea...Is this normal? I am not sure if there is something wrong with me or are there other people that do this?
Thanks for reading
