Yes from when I was very little. Drew them, thought about them constantly, watched old westerns just to look at the horses. Whenever going somewhere by car, watched out the window for a glimpse of a horse (countryside it in a city). Would’ve given my right arm for a horse .. finally got one when I w...

I’m like this too. Don’t notice things .. a particular shop or landmark or object that’s been there for years

I’ve done this my whole life. I fiddle with the pointy corners of my work collars to the point that the fabric wears out. I cut the collars off work shirts when they need to be discarded so that I fiddle with the edges and points anywhere. It doesn’t need to be the pointy edge as you can fold crispy...

I know now that the reason I have only one friend is: smiling doesn't feel natural to me. I pretty much only smile when I'm amused. Doesn't mean I'm angry, just that I don't smile. I usually only talk about my thoughts or issues, I'm not that great at engaging others about themselves. I get bored in...
