I apologize to my things when I accidentally bang them against something.
Comment on Autism

Wait, other people don’t do that? Well, that explains a lot… Since a kid, I never understood how people treated their stuff so badly and trow stuff away without a second thought. I take care of my stuff for as long as I can, and almost never trow anything way. They’re like companions who walk with me in my life, and I’m never giving up on an old friend.

Sometimes objects im using have like, a personality and desire? Like they won’t want to get thrown out or there’s some kind of relationship between two forks.
Its kind of subconscious - I’m only somewhat aware of it. Its weird.
Also when in recalling things Ive learned recently I’ll sometimes recall a place I’ve been to as well. This happens most frequently with code for some reason. Programs I’ve written or functions will be strongly tied to places in some way? I don’t get it.

Thats probably just an accidental association/linking by your brain. When we learn new things our brain creates neural pathways and these become ‘memory’. If there is something that you learn and at the same time it happened to be when you moved to a new house, were on holiday at a different place or perhaps when you met a new person, your brain may go 'you learned this new thing and that place/person/smell/emotion was also there so i will ‘save this’ together as part of the same memory.
Its like playing a game from your childhood reminding you of the music you were listening to at the time you played it, or a skill you learned reminding you of that awesome dinner you grandma cooked because she was staying with your family at the time.

Other people also do that

True. Only the frequency of occurrence that is different.

That’s part of why I love this song. Same vibes, to me.

I’m not autistic and I feel the same way. It makes me sad to throw something away if it’s still got some use in it.

I don’t think that’s exactly the same situation though. Your comment reads as utilitarian, is that your reasoning for it? The object personification lends to an association of empathy for the object itself

No it’s definitely empathy. I feel bad for the object if it’s been discarded before it’s time (and even when it is time sometimes if it’s something I’ve had for a while)
