I didn’t mean people shouldn’t be that way, only that I can’t personally fathom it.
I also can’t personally fathom why some people are obsessed with food. I don’t mean they’re wrong, just that I can’t understand their POV. Like I get they feel that way, and it’s not wrong, it’s just outside my reckoning. Like I eat enough to live, and I don’t obsess over it. That’s foreign to me, thinking about food 24/7 even when you’re not hungry.
E: just ruminating here, not judging. I’m sharing and want other people to share. I’m not great at sharing without offending people, sorry.
That seems fairly straightforward.
For me? no. I can’t imagine thinking about anything that much. Like, to the exclusion of other things, I mean. Or, focussed on one thing (other then nothing – I can turn everything off, but throttling is very hard).
I know we don’t all think this way, but being that passionate without control is kinda foreign to me.
That's just brain development. Psychological control is as muscle you build as a bicep or a glut. And it's muscle that can be exhausted or atrophied over time.
