Is it normal that i feel like inanimate objects itch?

7 Comments

Sometimes im just doing my thing untill i feel like something itches and obviously its inanimate so when i scratch the object the itch feeling never goes away.
Like a peice of wood where theres the little patterns that usually feels itchy to me and its so annoying and it makes me so uncomfortable.

I also have diagnosed ADHD if that helps. ive been researching a bit and i think it could be ocd?

To add to that i arrange my kitchen knives in a specific way and if someone changes the order i get mildly upset. I also hoard random things in fear i'll need them,I also have regular non violent intrusive thoughts EX im imagining a boat but my mind makes it sink.I also very rarely have violent intrusive thoughts Ex rippping off my cats fur and these really upset me because i would never do such a thing.

Anyways what do you guys think?

Is It Normal?

    Not quite the same, but I've always felt that a lot of inanimate objects have feelings, especially if they look in any way like they have a "face".

    I also like certain things in a specific order and it just bothers me if they're not in that order, and have favorite/lucky numbers for things.

    I think everyone experiences intrusive thoughts, and even occasionally some pretty disturbing ones. I read somewhere long ago that it's the brain's way of testing if you have a healthy reaction to it, so I think being upset by it means you're normal.

    Are you on the spectrum?

    Oh my goodness someone else has this too! It's like an itch or sensation outside your body that you have to touch or scratch. My thing is making sure if I touch one corner of something I have to touch all the other corners.

    I also have ADHD. Maybe it is a type of OCD but I don't know as much about that disorder.
