does that make any sense at all?

lol, no; living with someone is what is making me weird.

(lol, I'm just teasing, but as a rule I do tend to do best when I have my own space to which I can retreat). That quiet time helps me to stay less weird, lol; I do have an established baseline of peculiarity that never really dissipates totally, though.

I had to go back and go through every single post, to see if I was any weirder than anybody else living alone.

Oh I talk to the animals all the time. I threaten to throw them out in the street. Or cut off their college tuition. All the doors are open, or half open because one of the cats hides out in the linen closet in the clothes closet underneath the bed everywhere. The dog tries to make friends with the cats. But the cats just want to have nothing to do with him. So he sits up in my lap and we end up singing together.

As most of you know, I travel quite a bit for my job. So I have a friend who housesits for me. But every week when I come home I have to go through the dishwasher and rinse everything because I think she doesn't clean them enough. Is that weird or is that just my OCD taking over?

I have a closet for what I call my corporate drag, a closet for polo shirts and Hawaiian shirts, a closet for jackets in Arizona for goodness sake's, and a closet for clothes I'll never be able to fit in again. That alone I think is weird.

I try to keep a regular schedule but there are nights of coarse that I don't want to cook. So I opened up the freezer and find something I've already packaged because I don't know how to cook for just myself.

We are who we are truly when we live alone. And who's to say what's normal or weird? Like a friend of mine says it is what it is.......

I'm only hurting myself....figuratively speaking..

Now that Im no longer living alone, I realized how much I count on having my things where and as I left them....

If it is, I prefer weird! LOL!

C0LLETTE · 09-15-2015, 10:18 PM

I honestly don't believe anything could make me "weirder" than I already am.

Well I dont live alone. But i do isolate myself alot.and yes thats possible ive done it since i wS a teenager. I can say iam very weird in.comparison to others in my house and outside.

Ive hidden my strangeness completely from my housemates amazingly. And the following list is sure to make all you think im insane..

So one thing i do and have always done is have a conversation with myself. I even did this as a kid. There was no other children in.my neighborhood so i played alone how boring.

I could be playing a video game or looking for something in my room , or just laying in bed. Now i know what im doing and that nobody else is there. But it stems from my lonliness. Im just lonely and when i try to have a.conversation with other people it just..meh. they either dont get me or its super short lived. Iam completely myself with myself , no misunderstandings and no weird stares lol. And i known its a strange habit but stops my lonliness for a short time. When im super lonely i write myself love letters to.

I also talk to my cats. Heck ill talk to any animal or fish. I love goldfish.

Iam religious although not A crazy zealot . But i sleep with a bible on my bed. Like next to me. I have nightmares and.when i wake up i can just reach grab it and i feel better and go back to sleep.

Hmm what other oddities... i play mincraft on xbox in my underwear does that count?
