whoa i have found my kin people lol i once cried as a kid because my grandad cooked with a potato that i liked he killed it and i felt so sorry for it since then i’ve had horrible attachments to soft toys and i feel like i neglect them i recently went through a break up and all the soft toys that are related to my relationship i have had to put on the floor so i don’t hurt myself by looking at them all the time but i constantly find myself going over to them and apologising my ex still has one of my toys and my brain has been preoccupied for a month now that he has thrown it away and i feel guilty i can’t “rescue” it and give it a good home i would often make sure the toy wouldn’t be lonely but as long as it was with another toy friend it’d be ok  i often pick out the ugly item if there’s several in a shop because i feel guilty and no one else will buy it so i have to rescue it let’s say a teddy bear has a loose thread i’d buy that one a plastic cup has a smiley face on which has been printed slightly askew i’ll get that one i feel sympathy to inanimate things i feel are faulty but need my love instead idk if this is ocd but it severely contributes to my hoarding compulsions
