Is it weird that when I buy things like m&m’s, haribo’s ect I always separate by colour/type and not only eat all of one colour/type at a time but even have an certain order that I eat them in.
I truly believe that folks who do this are metaphorically trying to figure out something, so the act of organization allows them the ritual of figuring it all out. When I need to soul search, it begins with mass cleaning & organizing my apt, paperwork, anything... it helps set the stage for organizing my life.
Not weird at all & not OCD unless it negatively affects life in some way, i.e. you can't leave the house for an hour or are late for everything cuz you're organizing sugar cubes & have to touch every appliance 3 times.
Is it weird that I won't eat squash or eggplant because I don't like their names
Is it weird that I put my gummies bears in the freezer before I eat them
Is it weird I force myself to believe people don't have feet because I don't like feet
Amen! Feet should not exist! I cant even stand my own feet. I wish we all just flew around.
Lol. Same & it's almost a phobia. I have the opposite of a foot fetish... I'm repelled by them. My biggest pet peeve is men who wear sandals. I get it... I live in FL. But, giant feet & hair toes just make me want to wretch... sorry, dudes. And, women with giant, wide, hobbit feet in girly sandals, especially sans nail polish... oh, oh, oh.
I don't outwardly judge people by giving them looks or anything... I just have to avoid looking at said pedibus.

I expect you to say "Namaste" at the end of all your posts.
Is it weird that I get really sad or upset when people squish insects just because they can or just because they're in that person's home? Or mine?
You DO NOT want to know what my 3rd son did to a cicada once. I was right in the middle of explaining to them how it was about 14-17 years old and how it WAITED ITS WHOLE LIFE to emerge and mate and fulfill its destiny. Then it happened. I don’t normally get too sad about insects. But this was sad.
Edited to add...he was very young and didn’t understand. Just to clarify.

We had a Maine Coon growing up and he would do that all the time. I miss him
Is it weird that we have the same name, a similar soft-spoken voice (see the voice thread) & the same hair?

They are the most gorgeous animals I've ever seen. If I can find a Maine Coon at a shelter, I'm gonna take him/her home!
And i love all their quirky coonisms. He would jump to bump foreheads with us and he’d chirp at the birds and oh my gosh his furry feet ❤️

No, that's a great idea or if you'll be stationary awhile, get a mug warmer! I love, coffee & tea at any temperature, no matter the weather even!
Stop, you're just crossing over into so-cute-I-have-to-adopt land!
Namaste @LiftNRiot
I get this. We’re “scoop them up and put them back outside” people in my house
Same. And if I don't do it, I get someone else to do it.
