Some people (if not all of them) have something they cannot live without. Be it a video game, a particular brand of chocolate, or some sort of before-going-to-sleep ritual, there's always that one (or more) thing that brings them comfort and makes life just a little bit easier.

However, while there are things we truly enjoy doing, eating, smelling, etc., sometimes those 'hobbies' of ours can get pretty addictive. Thinking about that, I got curious about some of the strangest addictions that our pandas have. Scroll down to read the answers!

    Person reading a book in sunlight, highlighting one strange a*******n among odd things the community loves. Reading, I've got to have a book with me at all times. I've even ducked into a bathroom during parties to read for a little bit.

    Neon sign with glowing red letters saying no music no life, symbolizing one strange a*******n to music. Music. It gives me infinite access to stories and alternate worlds and keeps me in a good place mostly. But one time after a concert, I had a comedown and depression episode that lasted weeks.

    Colorful yarn balls and knitting needles representing one strange a*******n in the community's odd favorite things. Knitting and crocheting. Totally weird for a bloke in his 50s, I guess.

    Couple sitting on a bench, sharing a quiet moment together, highlighting strange things people are a******d to. My wife. I can't imagine my life without her. I can't think of words to express how much she means to me, I won't even try. A close second would be playing my bass. Arthritis and carpal tunnel since my 20s. It seems to keep my hands working and I can tell when I don't play.

    Hands and arms gently resting with small white flowers scattered, symbolizing strange things people are a******d to. Peeling. Do you have a sunburn? Stay away unless you want me peeling the skin. Used to put Elmer's glue in my hands, let it dry, and then peel it. Friends had an 11ft python and I was in my glory when he asked if I wanted to help him shed its skin. I'm convinced I was a reptile in a former life.

    Hand holding a remote control pointed at a TV screen, illustrating one strange a*******n from the community. Listening to TV shows, repeatedly. I've watched the first 3 seasons of Burn Notice at least 50 times and the first few seasons of Ghost Hunters around 20 times. I don't even really pay attention, I just like to have familiar sounds in the background. It calms my brain. If there isn't something playing, I'll get anxious, paranoid and scared. Truly strange!

    Shadowy figure pressed against frosted glass door in a dim, peeling-walled room, evoking a sense of strange a*******n and mystery. Allegedly true horror stories. I am obsessed with these and I listen to them non-stop.

    View from inside a car driving at dusk on a highway, illustrating one strange a*******n to night drives. I’m sorry, my current addiction phase is dash cam videos of idiot drivers. I can’t turn away!

    ChapStick lip balm tube in classic original flavor, a common strange a*******n for smooth lips and skin protection. Chapstick. For about 35 years now. My lips no longer produce moisture on their own. And it has to be a Chapstick brand, no other will do. Any flavor, but cherry is my preferred.

    Man sitting on couch with laptop and coffee cup, checking time, illustrating strange a*******n concept at home. Pimple-popping videos. I can’t get enough. I watch TV and videos on my phone at the same time for hours. And they better do it right, or I will ‘dislike’.

    Wooden spoon filled with coarse salt crystals scattered on a dark surface, representing strange things people are a******d to. Salt. I just love the taste. I sometimes will just get a teaspoon of it in my hands and eat a few grains at a time. Obviously, I am extremely dehydrated after that but I make sure I get plenty of water. I also tend to add a lot of salt to dishes lol.

    Solitaire card game layout on a green table, illustrating one strange a*******n to classic card games. Spider Solitaire. Been addicted since 1999. Someone gave me a hand-held game that I took abroad. Three months later, I was on an African safari and playing solitaire instead of watching for animals. I play at least 30 minutes a day.

    Red theater stage curtain closed with dim lighting, setting the scene for a discussion on strange a*******n topics. Theatre. And by that I mean the stage itself. I'm a theatre actress and the last two (Corona) years I noticed that I'm feeling physically bad if I don't do a few plays throughout the year. It's not the applause or the audience, it's just being on stage, reciting my lines, working with the colleagues, seeing the lights, smelling the unique odour... Sounds weird, I know.
