    • “Maladaptive Daydreaming”
    • I have an issue with being remembered in person (at least that’s what my therapist said). I will go to different chains of the same store on rotation, or stop going to a store all together if they remember me “too much.” I’ll wait until shift changes or that it’s been long enough that they’ve forgotten about me. I’ve stopped going to certain places all together if there’s no alternatives. Outside of lemmy, I have no social media. I don’t want anyone to ever be able to look me up. Apparently people don’t do that.
    • Using different cutlery based off of meal size/how long you want to savor something (ex: You like ice cream, so you may eat it with a smaller spoon so it lasts longer.).
    • Wondering what people were thinking/picturing when they bought their clothes (not in a “wow, that’s ugly, what were they thinking” but what they saw themselves as. Did they see this suit and think of themselves as a ceo? Did she buy thay dress and imagine the places she’ll wear it? That sort of thing).
    • Having multiple paths to one place. I could get to my classes or office multiple ways. I would rotate, take these stairs one day, this elevator the next, etc.
    • I believed everyone had some kind of food that would give them the boo-boos. I’m actually just lactose intolerant.

      I think point three is pretty “normal”. A lot of People eat cake, pudding and ice cream with smaller cutlery.

        I’m screen shotting this and the other reply. My friend asked for a spoon and I was like, “regular or little?” and she acted like I was insane. How the tables have turned.

      I’m with you on everyone of these, except the last one (but I know a ton who are lactose intolerant). Now you got me thinking, are these things not normal or are we the actual normal ones.

        That’s actually kind of comforting. Even if we aren’t normal, we’re not normal as a unit. 🫱🏽‍🫲🏻

      I’m with you on your second point. I’ll only go back if its somewhere I want to be remembered, i.e. my favorite restaurant.
