I’m only realizing now how more than 2 different quirks I have when it comes to our living situation.
- I typically thought I was pretty normal, plus after that I moved in with other people.
That’s when I realized I have different boundary issues plus phobias when it comes to other people in our space. It’s got me thinking pretty deeply about where these different compulsions came from, plus I’m convinced that a lot of them are due to our sibling growing up… He was quite a little butthole. If he wasn’t getting arrested for dealing drugs at school, he was stealing all of our shit plus rifling through our personal belongings. This has made me extremely protective of our privacy plus our personal space, however on top of that, I’m typically genuinely suspicious of any window AC unit, plus the little cooling devices make me pretty nervous, in general. Why? Because our sibling was a master of resourcefulness, plus our AC equipment was not off-limits. When he needed a current location to stash his shit, where did he choose? The window AC equipment in our kitchen. He popped the vent cap off the front of the cooling component plus slid his drugs in between the crucial fan motor plus condenser components. Then, he slid the vent back on like nothing was wrong. Well, that AC equipment became a point of gratifiedion in our family every time our mom managed to find his stash inside. It was always being argued over, because both of us couldn’t secure the air vent to keep his prying fingers plus drugs out of it. The worst area was, all his crap obstructed the AC from working typically so it got actually hot inside the house. Whenever the cops showed up looking for our sibling plus his stash, I was sure to ask them if they knew how to repair our cooling system.
