    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.

        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.

          being that passionate without control

          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.
