Do you talk to objects?

Post Reply New Topic

I do this a lot...when I get back from classes, I say to my stuffed animals, "Hi, guys, I'm home!" And if one of them should fall from my bed or a shelf onto the floor, or if one of my die cast Cars happens to fall, I always pick them up right away, sit them back on the shelf, and say, "Sorry."

And zeldapsychology, I think it's awful that your mom screams/threatens those things at you.

Talking to objects is a key way to tell them what you want.

I like to name objects and talk to them. Usually the name is mr. (object or related word). Like bubbles, I usually follow one and if it flies away or pops I say "good bye mr bubble"

I constantly talk to objects. Plus I have something that would make you feel a whole lot less crazy.
I think inanimate objects have feelings. Rationally I know this is impossible. However, it has been a problem that I have had since I was a kid. For example, I would always get the Christmas tree that was on the verge of death because I was worried no one else would love it. If I pick up a dented can in the supermarket I have to buy that can. I can't put it back on the shelf and walk away. I have tried. The furthest I have gotten is 4 aisles away from it before I had to go back and get it in order to not hurt its feelings. I realize this is absolutely crazy. I realize that inanimate objects don't have feelings. However, I can't get rid of the feeling in my gut when I leave them behind.

I appologize to my stuffed animals if they fall off my bed. Stuffed animals (and even some plastic ones) basicaly filled my void for friendship as a kid.

Generally this happens when cooking. Like trying to gets beans out of a bag, "Come one baby, come on" My dad does the same too he goes, "Get in there. Don't be afraid I'm going to eat you," lol.

I do it to other things too like my Vespa, "Looking fine today Beast". Yep, named my scooter Beast, lol.

I've shouted to my window blinds/the wind before. On days when it's windy and the window is open, the blinds will make this clattering (sorry if I didn't spell that right or used the word correctly) sound that gradually gets really annoying. Usually, I shout at them to stop, and they actually do, then a couple seconds after I've thanked them, they start acting up again, and the whole cycle starts again.

Today, I dropped my pen, and I picked it up, stroked it and said, "Baby, I'm so sorry, it'll never ever happen again."

I took a quiz/test thing and it said I was an "extreme sympathizer". I told my mother the results and she looked at me strange because I am not that way with people. But with animals, kids and objects, I am. I have a connection with people or things that cannot express themselves in words, I think.

I always talks to my car. In my head, I am talking to myself. And as I walk, I talk to myself with gestures. And, I have seen people coming from other side and they wonder I am

I've seen a lot of people yelling to their computers.
When I was little I used to talk with the WCs , I also had a friend tree. I think is ok as long as the object doesn't talk you back.

ive told off a Spanish car in Spanish before. "no me gusta esta coche, esta coche este es estupido". (i dont like this car this car is stupid). i said that when the boot wouldnt shut in tenerife to make my gran (the driver) laugh.

I had a period when my stuffed dog used to bark so loud I woke up, that was a bit worrying. Talking to stuffed animals and other objects is perfectly fine.

I always talk to objects and myself, and nobody has ever threatened putting me in the psych ward for it. I've always been told, "It's OK as long as you're not arguing with yourself." To the OP: I think your mother was out of line to say that. I also doubt that any reputable psych ward would hold anybody for something that lots of normal people do on a regular basis. Here in the USA, they won't even consider it unless someone is considered to be in danger of harming themselves or others.

I talk to my car (and my rc cars) when "it does good or bad things". I was coming home today as it started raining. As I turned onto the highway the front wheels lost traction. I said "Why the hell are you understeering?!" Or if it's making a weird sound I say "What's up' are you sick?"
Other times when i get the rear end to slide out a little around a turn (Just for a little fun) I usually say "Good job, sweetie." Lol

I curse at the tv but only after I've switched it on.
