I'm the weirdo who goes to the doctor hoping there is something wrong, so I don't come off as a hypochondriac or attention-seeker. When I go to the doctor, what I fear is them finding nothing wrong and dismissing me, and then the problem continuing but I don't have the courage to go back to the doctor because they'll think I'm one or both of those two things.

I have a legitimate phobia of internal parasites, but I do not have parasitophobia (which is where one has a delusion that they are infested with parasites).

I have strong interest in checking if The Quran is God's scripture. But I do not want anyone to follow false religion, including me. It is my strongest "obsession" last times.

I like to live vicariously through fictional characters.

I would say that I have profound "obsession" about hidden miracles of Islamic holy book (which were known only in technocene).

I live vicariously through my Sims and fictional characters that I create. Somehow it feels wrong to me to take someone else's characters and use them as my own even if only in my imagination. And it makes me uncomfortable to make other people in The Sims, the only people I ever make who actually exist are different versions of me.

One could fairly argue if the creator is making them available, they are both explicitly consenting to have their peeps get used, and that they're actually asking for it. If you make and release content for a game, isn't the goal to have people use and benefit from it?

Same, mostly the ones for my clusterf**k of a story. For some reason I always end up physically and emotionally torturing them. :oops:

I didn't mean to suggest that I actually do think it's wrong (as long as you're not making any money off of it, at least - if so, then you run into copyright issues). I just feel uncomfortable doing it myself because I always worry that I might not be understanding or representing the character one hundred percent accurately and I get hung up on worrying about that. Just easier for me personally to use my own :)

I know you didn't mean anything with copyright. What I'm suggesting is that they're probably not as concerned about if you play their person as per canon. They want you to create alternative personalities for their characters, that's why they're choosing to make it possible. Basically, while your hang-up isn't invalid overall, the person who made the content would almost certainly it shouldn't apply with their content because they don't share the hang-up.

I think that in Northern America I would not receive diagnoses of Asperger's syndrome, pervasive developmental disorder or autism spectrum at all.

I am very perceptive of my surroundings in that I notice things that others do not.

Despite being Catholic, I am very "impressed" by numerical miracles associated with Islam, especially the Quran. They give me very much to think.

I have some very extreme views and strong opinions, some quite controversial.

I react too much to both criticism and compliments.

The last two pets I had that were just mine (instead of a family pet like our cat) were both lizards - a crested gecko and a leopard gecko.
