Is it normal that i imagine objects have feelings?

I personalize everything. For instance, if I have to throw something away, I feel bad for it going in the garbage so I have to tell myself it wants to go in the garbage to make myself feel better. Or if I am picking between 2 items, I feel like the item I didn't choose is really sad. I rewrite things a lot- such as notes or a quick sticky at work, but then I feel like the one I didn't use got its feelings hurt. When I was little I distinctly remember needing to eat all my cheerios because the ones left in the bowl would be sad they couldn't be with their friends. I know it isn't real, but I can't stop doing it.

    I do that too. When I was little, I would sleep with all of my stuffed animals on my bed at night because I didn't want any of them feeling left out, even though I knew that inanimate objects don't have feelings

    Do you think that when you wipe your nose with a piece of toiler paper, it considers itself lucky?
