feeling bad for inanimate objects

I know this is extremely common among infps not sure about other types, i believe infjs to, me for example as an infp, all my life i have felt bad for things, like earlier i had to explain to my plushies why i could not take them all to training school with me after bootcamp and why i chose the 3 i did, i felt awful but i think they all understand i love them equally, or i might be playing animal crossing and i see a lonely flower, i will than go out of my way and find another flower so it can have a friend. Another example would be i will reach for a cup or something, and if i see another one i like better i will feel terrible about the one i just put my hand on because its not going to get used now and i feel like i hurt its feelings. I believe this is a trait people with extreme levels of empathy have, well empaths, seeing how it is so common among infps anyways, but than again we are known as the children of the myers briggs world so we might just be wackos haha. https://www.reddit.com/r/infp/comments/7mon55/does_anyone_else_feel_a_level_of_empathy_for/, https://www.personalitycafe.com/infp-forum-idealists/88585-inanimate-objects-feelings.html.

 

I expected this kind of behavior in little kids... not grown ass men. So... yes, INFPs are wackos.

But I tend to have extremely long and detailed conversations with myself (when alone). So I'm a wacko too.

 

yah same i talk to myself all the time, i get caught a lot, not like i am hiding it but its awkward in public lol.

 

I used to feel that way when i was a kid, but....

Inanimate objects have no feelings or thoughts. I realize that now, as an adult.

 

what happens when you break one? lol

 

I remember when I was little, I used to execute my GI Joes with a BB gun and feel bad afterwards. The world is a much different place now. I feel more empathy for the stuffed dog I've had since I was a baby than any living being. Thinking about it, I'm more than a bit messed up. I've never felt like I truly belonged in this world.

 

One of the things I like about my Autism is I never lost my inner child, but that also makes things harder as well. In games I feel bad about hurting cute and non aggressive animals, and in real life I have a strong case of guilt if I accidentally step on my plushes or something.

Ever since bloody Toy Story I can't look at anything the same, I know they're not real but a huge part of me makes them real to the point where I feel bad about it, especially if I give something away. Don't even get me started on flowers, I can't buy and don't like receiving any as I know they'll eventually die.

 

i feel bad for my trash can everyday so i just became a trash can so it wouldn't have to suffer like that
