Is it normal to feel sorry for inanimate objects?

I sometimes feel sorry for inanimate objects. When that Lenin statue in Ukraine was toppled and demolished by protesters (I really despise the man it represents) I felt sorry for it, this just blows my mind. Can anyone here relate?

Is It Normal?

  • How do you feel about objects that get farted on or pooped in, how do you feel about toilets?

    • Nothing actually, it's only for some few objects that I feel pity for.

  • I feel sorry for things as well. I feel bad for talking bad about my possessions. Like if I say; 'my tv sucks ass' in front of my tv, I will want to apologize to it. I'm sure the poor television tries it's hardest to be a good tv! Unless its being a lazy piece of shit that actually hates me and is being crap just to watch me suffer. But I like to think of my objects as being innocent. =)

  • I've seen posts like these numerous times on this site, I'm pretty sure this is normal. I have no idea why, although I'm sure I can take a good guess, but regardless plenty of people feel bad when bumping into a lamp or seeing something non-human be damaged.

  • maybe you are feeling sorry for what they are doing. i dont think is a bad thing. objects like statutes and buildings can provide an emotional effect maybe you are just feeling sorry that that happend and they acted that way

    • Yeah, that could be a possibility. But I still think it has something to do with the human shape of a statue.

  • Feel the same way. Sometimes when I drop something I say sorry to it, and I don't sleep with a stuffed animal because I'm afraid of crushing it under me or it falling off the bed. 6.9

  • I've never heard of this before, but now that I think about it, I might get sad for nostalgic reasons.

  • not any more normal than it is to feel attracted to them (objectumsexuality)

  • Well if you are talking specifically about the destruction of famous landmarks/monuments I suppose it's normal.
