But to just look up someone's address and drive by out of some need to know more about them or be somehow closer to them? That really is a bit odd. Maybe "normal" for therapy behavior to some people, but it is a bit odd for real life.
I agree that it's odd for real life. I never had any desire to do that with anyone else except my Ts. So I'm not sure how that translates into real life issues. Well, for me it may be about feeling left out, not knowing. But I never wanted to drive by anyone's house for that reason, in real life. Yet I had a compulsion to drive by all 3 of my T's homes, and did so. The other 2 had therapy in their homes so I didn't have the need. I admit it's weird but a lot of people on this thread are admitting the same thing.
