Okay, this is going to sound... weird, but I really need to talk about it. I’ve been struggling with an addiction for a while now, and I don’t know how to explain it without sounding crazy. But I’ve been addicted to... people jumping up and down. I know that sounds bizarre, but it’s been consuming me.
It started when I was a kid. I remember watching people jump—whether it was in sports, at concerts, or even in random videos online—and something about it just... clicked for me. The way their bodies moved, the energy they gave off, the freedom in the air. It felt like something I needed to feel too. But over time, it became more than just enjoying the movement. It became this obsession.
I’d find myself watching videos of people jumping up and down for hours. I couldn’t stop. It didn’t matter what else I was doing—I was constantly thinking about it. I started seeking out people who would jump just to watch. At first, it felt innocent. But then, it got deeper. I started looking for any excuse to see it. Friends jumping, strangers jumping, even just the idea of jumping... and I couldn’t shake it. Every time I saw it, it was like this intense pull I couldn’t ignore.
At first, I thought it was harmless, like just another weird hobby. But it’s taken over my life. I find myself feeling restless, anxious, or even panicked if I haven’t seen someone jump in a while. I’ve avoided social situations because I’m so focused on finding the next person who’s going to jump. And when I do, it’s like I’m in a trance. Everything else fades away. The problem is... it’s not healthy. I know it’s not. But the more I try to stop, the more I crave it.
I’ve tried talking to people about it, but how do you explain that you’re addicted to watching people jump up and down? It’s not like anything else I’ve struggled with before. It’s not something you can just... quit. It’s become a compulsion. Like, my mind needs it to feel normal. And the worst part? It’s embarrassing. I feel so isolated, like no one else could possibly understand what it’s like to be addicted to something so... random.
Sometimes, it makes me feel like I’m losing my grip on reality. I’ve had to stop myself from interrupting conversations just to watch someone jump. It’s like this overwhelming pull that takes me over, and no matter what I’m doing, I can’t stop thinking about it. I know it’s not right. I know it’s weird. But it’s like I’m trapped in it.
I don’t want to be like this anymore. I don’t want to feel like my entire life revolves around watching someone jump. It’s hard to explain to people, and honestly, I’m terrified of them judging me. What if they think I’m just crazy or that I’m making it up? But I can’t keep pretending that I’m okay. I need help, even if it feels so embarrassing to ask for it."
