I frequently experience emotions as physical sensations. I can even physically locate them in my body sometimes. For example, I feel tend to feel sadness and sleepiness in my eyes and anger in my forehead. Sometimes I end up unable to figure out what emotion my current sensations correspond to. On a possibly related note, if I pay attention to what any given part of my body is feeling, after a while I start to feel some low-level pain in that spot. I try not to pay attention to my body very much as a result.

I get lost in books and such very easily, ending up almost totally oblivious to the world around me. I also read very quickly. And if I'm not keeping my brain occupied by something, I tend to either fall asleep or get very frustrated. It also causes me to be unaware of any pains or discomforts I'm feeling.

I often have trouble paying attention to what people are saying when they are talking to me and need to ask them to repeat what they are saying; my brain seems to interpret people's voices as background noise and I have trouble turning this off.

I often have a song of some kind playing in my head. I can play melodies by ear on the piano, but not harmonies, and I usually find that when I try to recall a memorized song I can only "hear" the singer and not any of the accompanying instruments.

Whenever I am in the process of inserting an earplug inside my right ear, it presses on a spot that causes me to feel an urge to cough. It happens every single time, and it doesn't have to be an earplug pressing the spot; an otoscope can also trigger the sensation.

I don't like the taste of most chocolate. I particularly dislike chocolate milk, chocolate ice cream, and chocolate cake.
