what things from your childhood do you still do?

the follow- up thread from my other one.

1. watch cartoons

2. cuddle stuffies (even though they are diffrent ones now)

3. eat mcdonalds (always been a huge mcdonalds fan)

4. bounce on the bed when I am happy

5. sing nursery rymes to myself

6. play catch with a bouncy ball when I have the chance

7. make animal sounds

8. use the letter sounds (rather than C, say curly c etc)

Draw and paint. That’s for life

Prefer sea/ocean to lakes and rivers for swimming as I grew up by the sea

Don’t mind swimming in cold water as I grew up by cold sea and we swam in any weather (not winter lol)

Read a lot. Although I have trouble concentrating lately. I read a ton as a kid. So not the same amount now

Swear too bleeping much!

Play videogames, watch cartoons, cuss a lot, and probably masturbate too much

When I’m sitting down and people talk to me or look at me and I get anxious I‘ll I turn my head at and refuse to look at them. I do this in therapy a lot. Also when I’m out in public I’ll turn my back on strangers if they stare at me.

Magical thinking

Ride my horse.

Sit cross legged on the floor (& I can still get up by myself at my age)

When I was a child, I always slept with a stuffed animal. Now that I'm an adult, I prefer that my cats sleep with me. Also, I have a small, soft pillow that I like having next to me when I sleep. I am lost if I don't have my pillow.

I paint and draw.
I play music.
I play games.
I read a lot.

Watch cartoons.
Read books written for young adults.
Eat snack cakes.
Watch Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street.
Play dress up.

I believe in imagination. When I was a teen, I used my imagination to do well with my music. I pictured myself winning a competition. I did it every day when I practiced. Sure enough I won. I did better than win. I made "first seat" in all the region. As an adult, I believe in the power of imagination. But I don't do it as easily anymore. I have too many negative thoughts in my head. But I think I will start giving it a good try.

I really miss Sesame Street.

as a kid I watched it every day. stopped what ever I was doing to watch it

and I had cookies shaped like cookie monster. really cool

Sing, play violin and daydream, am still very wary of people and still as weird now as I was then. Stil have OCD as well. Pretty much the same and don't think I have grown up.

I still talk to myself a lot. I talk a lot, in general. I remember a father of a childhood friend told me I was "gabby". I didn't know that word, so asked my mother what it meant. I think I was maybe 6 or 7 years old at the time.

I drew sketches ever since I was ten. I still draw every day some kind of colored pencil sketch.

I still sleep with a stuffed animal. Its such a comfort. Also I still laugh at potty humor lol.

Watch nickelodeon
Go online
Write
Colouring in pictures
Go clothes shopping a lot

I still go fishing as much as possible. It’s my happy place

I drink a lot of soda.

lots and lots of soda..

I still:

Want to go for bike rides, to cheer myself up
Go for walks, to do the same
Bake . It's a very good thing for me to do.
Think creatively, and plan little 'dream' projects I'd like to do. (I'm so glad I got that back!)
Daydream, and use it as a healing practice for myself
Try and cheer people up
Hope for the best
Sing to myself when I'm happy

I know all the words (including the verses) of how much is that doggy in the window

just a little childhood project..

when I'm refering to someone's family, it is always mummy and daddy

never mum and dad, mother and father..

same as doggy, never dog, and bouncy ball, never ball
