9. You have a signature catchphrase.
Sure, this can be a bit obnoxious to some people, but it’s also really quirky and fun. This is especially the case if your catchphrase is something super silly and nonsensical that only you say. Saying something like, “Don’t be a cheese curd!” will confuse some people, but it’ll also make them laugh. Nothing feels better than putting a smile on people’s faces, after all.

12. You carry a notebook around full of random thoughts and ideas.
