What quirk or habit do you have about which you imagined you were the only person on the planet with it, until you found someone else who has/does it, too?
I could probably come up with dozens of these, lol, but the first one that came to mind is pulling (trichotillomania). For years, most of my adolescence, I thought I was the only person in the world who did this—such the secret shame, lol!—and was very relieved when I found out I was not.
Weirdness* loves company way more than misery, methinks.
* (which I use without implied negative connotation)
