I find myself quite prone to daydreaming these days. It’s a bit of a departure from my younger years, actually. As a child, I wasn't nearly this much of a dreamer; that particular tendency simply wasn't part of my nature back then. 🤔
Perhaps everything is finally coming full circle. 😍 🤣

It actually has a technical term—if I recall correctly, it's called animism, which is typically just a developmental stage you go through when you're a little kid... the idea that inanimate objects possess a life of their own. Eventually, you’re supposed to outgrow it, but looking at people around here, it seems like that phase just never ends for some folks 😁

This immediately crossed my mind, though I suppose there must be some underlying reason why we haven't managed to shake it off just yet. 🥳
I haven't the slightest clue what that could possibly be.

Furthermore, I find myself loath to tear up paper—even when it contains absolutely nothing of value to me, let alone something that might actually be useful down the road. Even if the document isn't mine, the act itself feels unnecessary. 😵

There isn't even a chance I’d gift someone something that actually belongs to me. Instead, I’ll just wrap up whatever I bought for them right away. It keeps things simple—no unnecessary emotional attachment. 🙂 😬

I’m dealing with the exact same thing. 😬

I have this irrational reluctance to swap things out—for instance, when I change my bed linens, I find myself convinced that the old set is somehow grieving or even jealous of the new ones. It makes me rush to put them back just to settle the score. 🙄 🤣 And then, predictably, the new set starts feeling jealous too. 🤣
It sounds absurd, but if I drop my iPhone on the floor, I actually kiss it, make sure it’s okay, and then we move on with our lives. 🤣
The next part leans closer to OCD territory, but every night before I can drift off, I have to kiss every single stuffed animal in my room (which, for obvious reasons, I can't bring myself to throw away 😬). Only then am I able to sleep. 😵

I actually suspect I might be less sensitive to the feelings of living beings than most, which makes this whole situation feel like a genuine issue. 🤔
My struggle isn't about wanting new things while being unable to let go of the old; it's more about trying to pinpoint where this psychological impulse even originates. 🍿 😬
I don't swear—not really. It’s not that I can’t, it’s just that I find no actual need for it. 🤷
I have certain phrases I rely on when I'm feeling frustrated, and that's where it ends. 😬
For instance: "Go away," "Get lost," or simply, "I won't." 🤣

And honestly, it works quite effectively as a way to manage my anger. 😬
I suspect they aren't actually attempting to grasp the reality of the individual they are judging, primarily because they’ve never found themselves staring down those same circumstances.
Perhaps there is a prevailing assumption that these people simply haven't exerted enough effort to fix their own messes.
Or maybe they assume their own success is merely the result of their own grit, leaving no room for the complexities others face.
They might even suspect that someone is weaponizing their struggle just to manipulate others into doing their heavy lifting.
There's also the notion that these individuals crave pity—though, frankly, I can't imagine anyone actually finding satisfaction in that.

And so on.

My money is on the first theory. 🥳
