The university in the city I live in, consists of older buildings (from the 1920's) and newer buildings (from the 1980's). I have always had a weird feeling when I passed the old buildings, as if I belonged to them somehow, and my heart jumped of joy every time I saw the door which led to the study, which I wanted to get into after high school (classic philology). I did get in. This summer/autumn, I went to the university, discovering that my study had been removed to the newer buildings and my heart was ripped to pieces. I know it sounds incredibly stupid, but the surroundings have always meant a lot to me. And the old buildings are sooo beautiful with the old architecture, ivy climbing up the walls, the park, the lake and the amphitheatre.
It is, as if I'm drowning in the white walls and glass of the new university-buildings.
The only reason I can stand being there is that I love my study.
Has any of you had this kind of relationship to buildings, and is it normal???

    I'm like that too. I love old abandoned buildings. I always want to go inside them, and I think about how they were when still in use, it just blows me away, i can do that with anything old and abandoned, i have gone into almost a trance just staring at it imagining the time when it was necessary and how it could have come to be forgotten... I also like buildings covered in ivy, and even if they are still in use or modern, I like to see empty buildings/houses with the lights on, so inviting...

    There's a condition called objectum-sexuality where the subject has feelings for buildings and monuments etc. I saw a programme on it some years ago and I was quite surprised. There was a lady who was in love with the Eiffel Tower and she would 'make love to it' by sitting on it with no underwear. There was another woman who was in love with a gate.

    People who have never heard of this would find this very hard to believe and unfortunately this is not an often discussed subject.

      I'm absolutely IN LOVE with my camp and feel amazing when I walk in to cabins or the cafeteria.

    I like old buildings too, not sexually or romantically though. I prefer them to their cold, harsh, and sometimes, not very well put together modern counterparts. Those older buildings were warm and inviting. They were built to last.

    I'm a girl, is it normal that I have like really bad mood swings. I'm a dry nice person I could be laughing one minute & the next I'm just a complete bitch for no reason. The littlest things piss me off like if my boyfriend doesn't text me back within 10 I get mad & break up with him. He calls me bipolar. Is this normal? Am I bipolar please help me ?!
