Also (I think I've got a problem here) I keep have very strong feelings for objects. When I'm in a temper, no objects get broken because I ''feel sorry'' for them. It's not like having feelings where I want to marry something (like that odd man I heard about who married a car). It's not like that. It's like I ''see'' a soul in every object, and something keeps telling me they have feelings. I feel like a child - when I watch Toy Story, it puts me off parting my toys in case they start missing eachother. And get this (this is REALLY strange!) when I eat an apple, I ''feel sorry'' for the apple! I just can't think about it. I just look upon everything as a person and how they would feel if they were being eaten alive or being parted with their family (which happens in real life), and so I just treat objects with the same empathy as I do people. I really do not know what's wrong with me.
I have this to some extent. I believe it's characteristic of synesthesia. I don't see objects as people so much, but some similar feelings.
My old desk chair was about to break, so I had to replace it and get it out of the house. I still feel guilty for taking it apart and leaving it outside for the elements, especially after it served so well for the past five years.
Unfortunately, there's no room for it, and it'd be dangerous to use as furniture anyway.
