I've recently noticed how often I say "Part of me thinks," and now it bothers me. I don't even know when it started, or where it came from.

For example, I'll say something like: "Part of me thinks I should put a plant on that shelf."

I noticed this with myself saying things are "concerning" when they're really just amusing. I also say "Oh, really?" superfluously, way too often. I really should stop noticing these things, for my own good, but at least the initial noticing of them was somewhat fun and interesting.
