- You never know what someone could be obsessed with.
What are your weird life weird obsessions? Do any of these sound a little like you?
- “I can’t walk like a normal person.
I get bored very easily. Because of this I find myself playing games and making up rules as I walk. It’s kind of like when you were a kid and you were told to “hop like a bunny to the next activity”, or “stomp like an elephant to the playground”. I do things like move in the pattern of the rook if I’m on a tile floor, step on cracks in a Fibonacci order, hold my breathe for as many sidewalk squares as I can. The hard part is doing all this while holding a conversation with people (yes, I get bored walking even when I’m with people)”
2. “ASMR videos. I can’t stop watching them.
3. “The number 4.” This has got to be the most random of the weird obsessions.
4. “The RMS Titanic. Holy. Shit. As a teenager, I had every
book and model I could get my hands on. Read those bastards cover-to-cover more times than I care to count, considered myself an “expert” on the subject. Watched the movie when it came out more times than any teenage male should have, mainly for the eye candy. Also Kate Winslet. Still handy in the occasional bar argument/team trivia, I guess.”
5. “As a teenager, I tried to read every single piece of published work about the JFK assassination.
I am still no closer to solving the riddle.
Edit: Just watched Days of Future Past. I understand the Magneto reference now.” Is this one of your real life weird obsessions?
6. “Weirdest and most annoying that I still have.
I can never truly be satisfied with large purchases. I will doubt myself and get buyers remorse instantly. Recently purchased a new DSLR. Prior to the purchase I had done research and comparison and decided which camera to go with. The moment I have the item at home I start looking online. Checked several places for reviews I might have overlooked or maybe it’s cheaper elsewhere.
Scumbag brain always make me doubt my purchase and never allowing me to enjoy them.”
7. “One time, I was probably 7~, there was a two week period where I wanted shove socks down my pants. I would lock my door, shove a chair or something behind it, run to my sock drawer and start shoving. I was like a fiend, it was something I had to do. My parents would check in on me and I would dump the socks and say I was juggling. How do you feel about this as a real life weird obsessions?
The best part about it? Acting like I was a grown up with a front butt. No, two butts. I’d talk about how much of an inconvenience it was to have two butts, and make myself laugh hysterically. So imagine a 7 year old boy running home just to stick socks down his pants only to make fun of his front butt until he laughed until he cried.”
8. “I’ve never worn a wristwatch (well, except in 7th grade when I had an LED Star Wars watch with interchangeable stickers) but about three years ago I was SURE I was a watch man. I spent waaaay too much time researching them, reading forums, and studying eBay. My wife was incredulous. Finally, she bought me a cheapie and said to try it out for a few weeks. I wore it maybe two days and it’s been in a drawer ever since. Obsession terminated.” What do you think of this as one of the real life weird obsessions?
9. “Had a small obsession with North Korea..I spent an entire night and a few days after watching videos of people who have gone on tours of North Korea. Even though it’s only what they want you to see, I find it amazing how North Koreans are so brainwashed by the Kim’s and worship them like gods.”
10. “I don’t personally think it’s weird or that I am obsessed,
but people often tell me that my obsession and undying loyalty to sweet lady propane is a little bit unsettling.
EDIT: If I don’t reply it’s because I’ve been banned. See y’all in another life!
EDIT: OKAY, it might be another life because I may be unbanned.”
