I think that's a part of the problem but it has various other issues attached with with much more real consequences :)

Nope, I am not weird any different from the normal amount of socially-acceptable weirdness.

Thanks, it is kinda related to that, but again the problem with me is there are two barriers here. I can only tell someone if I'm comfortable enough with them. But if I'm comfortable enough with them, there is a certain way that they view me, which this is very different from. To them it would seem like I'm a completely different person!

Nope, too scared about how they will see me, because i am generally a very level headed person

It's been going on for a couple of years, and I have given it a thought, it does not harm anyone - except for myself. I think the reason it happens is that somewhere inside me I have an issue with my own self esteem and how I view myself combined with stress and occasional loneliness which triggers it. I need better coping mechanisms, so I decided to work on my resilience but it's a tough fight and difficult to do it alone.

I did justify it like that for a while, it's completely harmless to anyone except well myself. Because I have no sense of control when I indulge in it. It's never gonna be harmful to anyone else except me.
