I am glad to hear that...until someone mentioned it, I wasn't even sure if it was a stim or just something everyone does.

A trance? Mine does, literally. I'll find myself comforted by the act of staring at a wall, unable to pull my eyes away. I've done this for years. It gives me a "warm fuzzy" feeling that I can't describe. Unfortunately, my gaze often rests on places it shouldn't - like the chest of a cashier in the store. It's not that I'm staring at them, rather through them. Once my eyes are locked on a spot, it's impossible to pull them away for several moments. These fleeting occurrences happen all the time.

I know exactly what you're talking about.


I actually do the same thing. I stare through busts and butts. For me, it's a comfortable angle for my eyes.

The "Sims" games serve this purpose for me. There's nothing more relaxing than manipulating a virtual woman into having an extra-marital affair with a virtual guy and having his virtual love child. :wink:

And pacing back and forth puts me in a trance too.


The Sims is a major addiction for me as well.

I can't do the sims. It's too unstructured. I need more direction in my gaming. I can do a lot of goon killing for mediocre rewards, but I need that goal. Give me a game like Fallout 3, where every quest has a deep story and compelling characters, I can lose days. x_x

I think the reason I like The Sims is I love choosing and decorating things. I also love playing around with genetics and personality. I like making up stories about people. Also, I think there's a control-like aspect to it as well, almost God like. You finally have control of lives, maybe not your own but other peoples.
