this is insane i thought i was the only one when i would bump into things as a kid i would feel sorry for them and apologize i had much more sympathy for inanimate objects than people it was actually a strong belief of mine that objects were conscious to be honest i still have trouble believing otherwise at times i had a panic attack months after i remembered that i had thrown away a toy i remember thinking that it must feel incredibly abandoned betrayed and isolated i think i vaguely remember looking into this and also reading that it’s connected to ocd
