Is it normal for me to kiss things goodbye...
45% Normal
23 Comments

I use to do this religiously, like i couldnt throw a shirt away or a piece of homework that was kind of special, or makeup, or really ANYTHING that had belonged to myself or people i care about without kissing it goodbye, like a quick peck so no one would notice lol...i can control somewhat now that i'm older but i stull have the urge to do this...it's like i feel bad that i'm throwing it away, that it's gonna be alone ya know. And the other feeling is this was mine, or my families and i didnt want it to be in the trash..i know...weird but i don't know what this might mean?
Do you think it's normal?

It is a silly habit, you picked up, when not wanting to part with things you liked. I have a silly habit to. I once got a glass from the cuppord,in the back, and it was full of dust, and got a glass of water, and gagged on the glob of dust,,,,,so,, ever since, I blow on a glass, a pop can, a beer can,,anything,,to be sure it is not full of nasty dust. This has been about 50 years of doing that,, and no sense to stop now.

items dont have feelings. i like breaking pencils if som1 pisses me off, this shows that i am pissed off, and that the pencil will quickly become their spine if they dont stfu.

Its normal, it just means your close and you just want to show affection. Just let it out little by little and it should help these feelings. Someone please comment on my issue.

OCD. it sound like OCD. i have OCD and i have done similar things. look up OCS and see if it applies to you. It really sound like it does. I have trouble getting rid of thing it also could be Hording which can be a symptom of OCD or stand alone. but really just look it up, even if you don't have all of it, it might not all apply to you but some might. and ts not just the stuff listed its diffneert with differnet people.

Check out "Animism." in wikipedia.

It sounds weird to me, but I think the jesus thing is weird, too.

Just tell yourself that, those things you are kissing are totally incapable of FEELING, they will not be lonely. no, they won't be.
hence, there is no need for you to kiss them goodbye.

It's a compulsion. Harmless though, actually pretty adorable

Minor OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) nothing majour, everyone has a form of it some way or another. Its hard getting rid of something with meaning or memories behind it and thats just the way you deal with it
