Am I insane?

Post Reply New Topic

I have several quirks that may or may not be due to AS and until the time I can talk to a professional, I won't know one way or another. One of the weirdest is that I tend to anthropomorphize objects, giving them feelings or emotions. I'll give you an example: Last week, I went to a grocery store and I saw a cart that was sun bleached and looked very old. I was going to pass it over for a newer cart, but then I thought I'd hurt the faded one's feelings if I did. So I used the faded one and I imagined it being happy when I put it in the cart organizer. Is that weird? So, am I insane?

thats cute

sometimes i do similar. like eating the dodgy mishapen sweet of the pack last, because it has suffered enough already.

i am probably insane though.

I am not going to tell u that u can rule out beeing crazy but i also do stuff like that. I say ouch for inanimate objects (because they cant) and have long belived that when my car breaks diwn within a week or two of a significant repaire it is because the other parts got jelouse and wanted some attention too.

I think cars have feelings. They always seem the best when new and the week before you sell them. n between they do things. Sometimes my car has PMS and everything is faulty yet in a week without doing anything to it everything works fine.

Yes, I think I used to do that all the time whilst growing up. What is worse is that I attach memories to possessions where picking something up, no matter how mundane, will evoke what I was doing with someone or the place I bought it and I will relive the emotion I felt then. It can hard for me to get rid of anything since it is throwing away my past. I still have clothes that are way past their due date in a fashion sense shoved away doing nothing, but being a record of things I've done.

Golden!

Did the same growing up.
I still tend to have some attachment (I don't personalize them anymore) to certain objects. Like the t-shirt I've been wearing often for the last nine years. Or Mr. Bouncy, a green rubber thing that I found two of the same in two consecutive Kinder eggs.
