What behaviors do you conduct when completely unmasked?

When walking, my body and head act like they are separate entities. It’s like my body is getting somewhere while my head is coming along for the ride. For example, if I’m in the kitchen and want to go the bathroom, my body receives the command to go to the bathroom and enacts the go to bathroom protocol. My head entertains itself on the way by maybe singing, looking around, making faces, etc. It looks like my head and body are controlled by two separate beings doing their own thing. It does not look like they are working together. Is that understandable, and can anyone else relate?
Sometimes it feels like I’m going into auto-pilot mode when I have to go to another room for something. Rarely it can get to the extent where I’m like “I need <thing>, it’s probably in the living room.”, then I’m thinking about something else and the process of walking only really registers after I’ve arrived
I’ve been reclaiming some stims/behaviors that I supressed for many, many years. They include:
Singing my thoughts out loud(terribly)
Prancing around the house on my toes.
Swinging arms around wildly.
I hit the back of my head against car seat/desk chair, not to the point of harm.
Unmasked for me means scripts are gone. I take much longer to take in and process questions, and to create responses.

How is it that we both do the same stuff in secret without anyone ever teaching us?? 😦
