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

Oh my goodness. I would love to see your house. I only have ~3,000 books in my house, more on my Kindle. They are everywhere: on top of doors, in the washrooms, in the bedroom, in the library, in the family room, in the kitchen. When my husband and I got together, I told him I came with a little over 1,000 books. Then my father died and I got 600 more (most of his books went to the National Library, then to a collector, the rest was divided in between the 5 of us, and the balance was given to a thrift store). I bought some in between and I'm still buying some now. I need to stop.

I have music anhedonia so the opposite is true for me - listening to music stresses me out and distracts me. Music anhedonia means the rewards center of my brain don't work like normal when it comes to music. I learned about this several years ago and had a big "aha!" moment as to why I could never find music I really enjoyed, why I dislike dancing, why I prefer silence to music. About 5% of people have total music anhedonia, but it's not an either/or condition. My level is really high but occasionally I can enjoy listening to music, for about 10 minutes and only if I get to choose what I listen to and when (even then, I tend to get bored or annoyed very quickly and shut it off). I know this will probably seem a bit appalling to people who really enjoy music - because it's the way my brain works, I don't feel at all like I'm missing anything, and am very happy listening to nothing at all.

I have severe eczema. When it's been really bad and my entire body has been weeping, when it finally heals my skin becomes smooth and tight (and exceptionally painful as every movement cracks it). The next day, I will lose an entire layer of skin. Like every inch will peel off. I've peeled 6-8 inch strips off my body. As embarrassing as it is seeing an entire layer of skin peel all over the place, it's satisfying peeling it off

Don't peel at reptile's stuck shed!! It hurts them if you pull it off because it goes in between the scales. Problems shedding is usually due to humidity or nutritional issues.

Try Relic Radio podcasts. They have different genres of old radio dramatizations which are made to be listened to. TV programs are written to be watched and you often miss a lot of the storyline when you look away. The old sci-fi radio shows are great entertainment just listening to how people thought things would be in the 2000's, and the things that they never thought about...

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.

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 couldn't do that- I'm allergic to too many of them :) but I loved using tegaderm as a kid, because it makes the skin under it squishy :)

How do you get the wind to blow Away from you? As soon as I pull off the first floof the wind blows it right up my nose!

Grapes! Every time I get my hands on a plastic container of them (usually contains 4 bunches) they’d be gone in a week if my parents didn’t stop me! I can easily go through at least 3 bunches a day if I had the chance! Just something about them lol

I'm addicted to this little pointless free Mahjong game online from 247mahjong dot com. They have different 'themes' like Winter and Fall and Valentine's and Holidays etc. And in each theme there are like 10 different games. I've played every single one at least twice. I don't know why but I usually play the whole series and then go back and try to beat my own times. I've been doing it for years every night. I also have a weird 'addiction' to never drinking the last of a bottle. Every soda bottle or bottled water I have always has a few sips still left in it and I always throw it away. It's the weirdest thing and I keep trying to stop my self from doing it because it's so wasteful. I do it with food sometimes, too. I always make more than I'll probably eat.

i dont like drinking the last bit either of anything, its just spit; also if my soda/beverage goes flat, i will either dump it or give it to my bf , it just tastes nasty

Omg, DDLC is SUCH a great game, it's adorable and the friendships are heartwarming. I hope everyone reading this who hasn't played it will check it out; you won't regret it. The first time playing it is really an unforgettable experience. You will get truly sucked in by the style, the music, and the lovely characters.

Adding another answer but: Vocal stimming. I make a ton of random noises or sing random notes almost constantly and I’m sure it annoys my family a ton-

I do this too! Random singing, humming, robot or other movement related noises as I walk around. Makes me Happy and I do it without conscious thought. My wife tells me that she knows I'm happy and in a good mental space when I am doing this. Since I have had depression/anxiety for many many years now, I've noticed the mood connection too :)

Once tried living like I'm in a musical. Dance numbers and singing everything. Unfortunately, mom reminded me that she brought me into this world, and she could take me out. Nothing good really rhymed with that so I stopped.

At the moment, just anything to do with Markiplier. I hardly watch anyone else's videos right now. I'm so invested in the lore. What kind of YouTube channel has deep lore stories?! His. And I love it!! I've been writing fanfic and drawing fanart... I think I might be in love. (Oops lol didn't mean to do that)

I think that sounds lovely. I often make up my own stories (can run for several nights). I just can't be bothered to write them down and I'm rubbish at endings!!

I have to pop my toes before going to sleep. Even if I have snuggled down into the most comfy position ever I have to untangle my legs and pop my toes bye bending them against my other foot and vise versa. Then and only then can I go to sleep.

I am addicted to buying t-shirts. Any event I go to must be memorialized by a t-shirt. Also anytime the is a free shirt - well yes I will take one even though it is not my size. Merch shirt for my favorite YouTuber? Yes please. Dumb shirt that I don’t need? Take my money! It’s a real problem.
