Is it normal to like to look at photos of people i don't know too well

80% Normal
8 Comments

I like to look at and sometimes save photos of people that I've met but don't know that well. I do it with teachers that I've had and even look up pictures of their families. I just like to look at the photos and wonder about their lives and how well they get along with each other. I even wonder what it would be like to be a part of their family.

I have a very strong urge to do this. It's like living in a fantasy land for me. Should I get help for this urge to look at photos?

*By the way, I have no urge to actually follow these people in real life or anything.

    I think it's normal to look it up and all but saving their pics not so much.

    The way you described it makes it sound like the people in the photos come alive and actually start moving and interacting with each other and tell stories. Like in Harry Potter. Seriously though, it means you have a wonderful imagination which is a great thing to have.

    Sounds fairly normal.

    Ah;
    Yes that's fine!
    I do things like that to study other human beings, since I am very socially awkward and I want to see how other humans act.

    Sometimes I'll look at other people's pictures but I don't usually save them.
