I always forget we are creatures of habit till that moment hits. I have a relative who is a woodworker, but the reality is they just love collecting wood because they worked at a sawmill as a teenager and talking about wood was all his peers did. I also have a friend who wears the same cologne since childhood because a crush once complimented them on it.
I suppose always being the “good friend” (in their parents eyes) made me more sociable, so now I avoid “events” because I just feel like it’s a game and I don’t want my interactions with other people to feel that way (love small gatherings with a purpose though, the Amish got it right with the barn raising).
What are some that you’ve experienced personally or through someone close to you?
Pick up any trash that I touch/step on/kick and dispose of it into the nearest bin.
This started from the bottles and soda cans kicking, I just loved how they sound when kicked to the max. I still do to this day :)
My dad hated it so much. He probably smacked my young tush once or twice for that. So i would pick the dirty bottles and cans (filthy and dusty at this point) if he’s in the vicinity and kick them hard out far back. Yap, I know how silly this is. He still heard the kick sounds, tho LoL
So he came with a truce: “You wanna kick bottles? Fine. You kick a bottle, you ensure a proper disposal of it on the bin.”
He even gave me a tactic to kick them higher up that day LoL
