Like I'll become obsessed with little random things. Eg. Say all the people who wear glasses, I'll think that wearing glasses really defines who a person is how they act and think, and there's an invisible barrier between me and all the people who wear glasses. And the aspect of wearing glasses makes me want to masturbate. Or unpleasant things can make feel sexually aroused. And it can be any little things like that, like people liking a certain food, or being in a certain occupation, etc. Also, I think things have feelings, like I just get the feeling they do. Like if I had the choice between blue and red, and I wanted to choose blue because I prefer that colour, I'd worry about red in case I offended it. Or say if there was a film I really hated, I'd still make myself watch it because I would feel like I was offending it.

i'm not qualified to be able to give a for sure kind of answer. but it sounds like there might be more than just one thing causing these. im sorry though, i also dont know any terms. but i can relate to some of the things youve expressed
I also find it difficult when choosing one thing over another thing, because i worry that the other thing would feel left out or be sad. i was a lot more like that when i was younger. i would make bonds and attachments to things, and objects. I was kinda like the monkey that is motherless and you see clinging to a wooden post inside of a cage. i think my perception on reality was a little different than others who didnt form these attachments with their jackets or backpacks or chairs(in 1st grade i came to school with 3 jackets on because i didnt want the other 2 to feel neglected of abandoned.) i think i may have also been self projecting myself onto these objects in a way to cope with my own sadness and feelings.

Extremely relatable, for me. Or at least was. Not sure about the term though.

I do almost the exact same thing as your glasses example too!
I always thought it was some strange form of sexual fetish.
