“What Is One Strange Thing You’re Addicted To?”: 30 Odd Things Our Community Can’t Live Without

truer words have never been spoken

About 4000 books condescend to let me live here, wedged in between. All I have to do in exchange is read.

I read your nice comments and feel so bad. I suffer from severe depression and I can't listen music anymore cos it makes me feel even worst. I only want silence and I know this is a very bad sign. I won't wish this mental state not even to the worst person on earth.

ah i swear i had to literally quit being a metalhead because i was mentally unstable and felt like SH1T without the music. still not over it and prob never will be LOL

A day without music is a day wasted.

literally listening to music as i read this…

Yep that's why humans like music world over dunno about the crippling depression side of it I've always left concerts on a high that lasts for weeks, it's s**t you had that experience hope it doesn't ruin it for you in the future.

10 minute or longer Grateful Dead concert songs - with surreal Jerry Garcia guitar solos, especially when mountain hiking

Duh we all need music

listening to music rn lmao (the song i'm listening to at the monent is cannibal by tally hall it's so good omg)

When i saw Ronnie James Dio at the Concord Pavilion in Concord, California, 1991 I felt he was singing directly to me. Scared me silly for weeks. Truly a frightening show. R.I.P. RONNIE!!!

this description is perfect =) music is a beautiful way to connect to any emotion, any experience anywhere

If I had to choose between losing sight or sound I choose sight. Music changes my mood. I have well rounded playlists for cleaning, relaxing, dancin with myself (scares the cat), and so on. Throw in a Go Go's song. Vacation all I ever wanted, la, la, . . Exception, I hate Jazz. It sounds like beginning band warming up

I cannot go a day without music. Many genres, many reasons. But a life without music would ruin me. Apparently, the technical term is "melomania".

I have a semi-quaver tattoo with a tiny f-it hidden in it, it looks like the artist accidentally smudged. The tattoo is for stress times when I remember to think "f**k it" and switch on music and everything's all right again for a whiile.

im listening to music right now (the cry forum by mother mother)

I frequently head home on a Friday night, fully intending on partying, bar hopping, or going out, and instead spend several hours delving into a new band, DJ, or hip-hop artist that I stumble across. I recently did this with Little Dickie, because I saw a thumbnail image of the video he did with Snoop Dogg that was animated. Mind = blown!

I just always wish I could create some of the beautiful music I listen to regularly. It is quite a gift to be to share.

I don't know how I'd get through a workday without music.

i can relate!

I can totally relate to this.

But that's not strange .....

same!

You are maintaining the dexterity of your hands.

every time i nap i wake up feeling like im in another dimension after being asleep for 100,000,000 years

thats not strange at all about 1/3 of the worlds population is

I love how you express yourself. My husband keeps repeating your first part to me mostly because I'm accident prone and get in trouble. He plays the flute, the recorder and the violin. I love listening to him play. He writes music too.

I once peeled a piece of sunburn 3" square, I can still remember the triumph

Frasier.

MrBallen is an amazing storyteller when it comes to true crime and the strange and unusual in story format

Lol yes it is a way to get your anger out

I'm hearing 🎶 I kissed a girl and I liked it... The taste of her cherry Chapstick🎶

Stuffed animals, I can definitely relate to. I’d buy dozens if I had the room for them all

Oh my god same. It’s so horrifying and fascinating at the same time

everyone does this how is it weird?

I loved eating salt as a kid! Especially salt on raw tomatoes. Now that I'm older and have more than half family members with hypertension, I've learnt to control my addiction 😆

Honey, I think they entire world would be dead without plants.

Freecell for me. But it's hours, not minutes.

Pens and notebooks! I swear it is a little slice of heaven!

It's not weird at all!! I also love theatre, and the last show I was in was part of a few one acts going on at my school (a chance for upperclassmen to direct short shows at the end of the year) and my directors stopped showing up so our show got cancelled and every other person in my one act was double casted in another or part of tech for another show and being the only one who was still there but not technically part of anything sent me into a bad mental state for a while. I tried to keep a positive attitude though.

I kept all of my children's Lego for my grand-children but I have none. Maybe my husband will start playing with them again. I have tons.

now im hungry 😭

if you feel the need to chew it, you might be iron deficient

"Just for fun". As opposed to standing under a humidifier as a profession?

I've been really getting into those recently, not so much the videos, but so many websites! I just make vegetable stock from scratch for the first time today! I also began planting my first lot of vegetables recently.

probably light shy before the glasses. I'm pretty sensitive to light, too.

WAIT DID YOU WATCH THE IZZYZZZ VIDEO ABOUT IT!? I LOVE HER SO MUCH

Me too!! I recently found out that I have a severe vitamin D deficiency. Which is likely contributing to my need for sleep.

But the sadness when a good book is finished and there is no second part.

I know your struggle. They're just so good!

Reeses pieces + popcorn

Sorry I read 'peanuts' as something else. like God I really hope it's unsalted!

Don't we all...

Could we maybe switch our addictions?

Oh, I do that. Always gotta drink some water afterwards though because like you said it's very bad for your teeth.

same

im eating some right now! lmao
