Robots, what the fuck is wrong with me? Why do i always assign personalities to my belongings and act as if they are "alive". Some examples of what i mean would be feeling like i have to use all my pens equally so none of them feel neglected or feeling bad after not wearing a piece of clothing of using an item in a long time. The things i do this most often with are pens, dice, trinkets, chairs(moreso the seats on my dining table) and other inconsequential stuff. The worst feeling however is losing/breaking anything, I feel such a crushing weight when this happens and i can't get over it for quite a long time, especially if i used that item frequently. It's starting to affect my life.
What do i do? Does anybody else do this?
sounds like a compulsive neurosis posssibly some shit in ure childhood triggerd it

I can't really recall anything traumatizing happening in my childhood. Parents were mostly nice and raised me properly, strict enough not to be a dipshit but loose enough to have fun and i never lacked anything essential. The only thing that could be related is that we didn't have money for all the toys on the planet so i had to make up stories when i was playing with any kind of figures and i would set up scenarios in my mind

It's the same for me. I compulsively hoard shit because I feel like if I don't, I'd be abandoning or throwing away a person, and no one deserves that. I pick up things from lost-and-found bins just bevause I feel bad. Hell, I have shit from my childhood that I don't care about, but if I got rid of it, I'd feel guilty. I know it's irrational, but I still do it. Giving stuff to goodwill is difficult, but I feel good about it because I know (I hope) it's going to someone who'll use it.
For me, I guess I got like this because I grew up lower-middle class and both my parents worked a lot, so everything I ever got felt like a big deal to receive, and if I got rid of it, I was being ungrateful.

Compassion isn't a bad thing bro
Maybe it is for the best, just in case they really do care and we don't have the scientific knowledge to prove it

Well its got to a point where i have all my cups and glasses numbered and use them 1 by 1 so i dont forget any of them, and cycle on what seats i sit at my table, and don't get me started on socks or underware. It takes a lot of time to make sure i give everything proper attention, but i guess you're right about the compassion part. Maybe i'd even be this meticulous in human relationships if i had any

I go through something similar because my cousins used to steal and break my things.
