ru fine with objectum ?

Indeed I am!! I have quite a few objectum moots, and I haven’t had any experiences where they’re harming living (or previously living) organisms :3

(I might also be one, I have to do more research on them 😼)

is it possible to... develop being objectum? Like how you can develop a kink? Bc uh- wanting to be around the computer servers at work is starting to hit different now

Well, some professionals have theorized that paraphilias such as objectophilia (or the objectum sexuality) could be caused by trauma, so I'm not sure, but I suppose so? Or perhaps you are just starting to recognize your feelings for the computer servers at work because you've recently been made aware that it's not wrong to feel that way and it's helped to break down those barriers between you lr consciousness and your feelings? Whatever the case may be, you're still welcome here at any time to talk about those cute computer servers you're developing a crush on ^^

sometimes i feel bad for being attracted to rlly broken and mangled tech. im not an objectum person who recognises objects as sentient (i think?) but im thinking about whenever i express my attraction to anybody that is. sometimes im worried theyd see me as strange because i obviously cant control my attraction but i do enjoy videos of tech being destroyed. i just think the broken ones deserve love too :3 so im just moreso worried about how i come off to others :(

I totally get the anxiety, but you're 100% welcome here any time you wanna talk about your feelings for mangled tech! You're not weird or wrong for your attraction 💕

Not objectum culture, but I have a question. I've recently realized that I'm objectum (and maybe like partially posic? I don't see all objects as sentient per se but certain ones do have personalities to me) and im incredibly new to the community. I just wanna ask, what kind of things do people usually do to show affection for thier beloveds (especially when it comes to public objects)? How do I know if they're enjoying what I do and they're happy? I feel a bit silly asking this but it's ok lmao!!

Even though POSIC individuals feel as if objects are alive or personified, we have to remember we are projecting these feelings onto the objects ourselves. So, really, all you have to do to see if the object of your affection is enjoying the affection you give them is just listen to what your gut tells you.

As for showing affection to public objects, you could make fan accounts for the object in question, you could visit it as often as possible, and you could write it notes if it's not something you can visit often (or at all).

I'd anyone has anything to add, feel free!

I hope it's okay to ask here-I'm looking for a little help please. I'm in my 40s, and have only recently realised I'm objectum romantic. I have a crush on a clock tower. How would I go about trying to date a clock tower? (I think he likes me too). Thanks in advance.

I'd suppose that depends on how you interact with him. You say he likes you back, right? How do you suppose? Do you see him as sentient in some way? If so, you could ask him outright and listen for his answer. Another way to ask when you don't know how to listen is to meditate on what his answer is, listening (in a broader sense of the word) to anything that could be an answer.

I'll also leave this open in case anyone else has any advice they would like to share ^^

hai :3 i was just wondering if it was possible to be like,,, polyamorous objectum, but like,, not with humans?? (did i word that right) idk i just,, have crushes,, on multiple objects at the same time, but never crushes on multiple humans at the same time,,, idk if this was the right person to ask tbh im sorry aaa😭

Polyam with your objectum crushes, but monogamous otherwise is entirely possible. Don't worry. What you're experiencing is normal and valid ^^

hello!! idk how to word this correctly uhm but how can i tell if im conceptum? i think that i have a conceptum crush but im not sure,, dont feel pressed to answer and thank you for even taking the time to read this :]

I'm so so very sorry for taking so long to respond!!!

My first time realizing I had a conceptum crush was after I realized that I could not stop talking about calculus as a concept in much the same way you see people in TV shows or books talking about the person they have a crush on that they haven't realized they have a crush on yet.

For me, personally, a conceptum crush is different than, like, an objectum crush on something more physical, but still has a lot of the same traits? Kinda? If that makes sense.

When I have a crush on a physical object like a broom or a mug, I often want to hold it in my hands and carry it around with me.

My crush on calculus was more me wanting to learn how to do more things with calculus in my everyday life. I read calculus textbooks, looked up calculus problems on the internet to practice, and spent more time in my calculus classroom at school to feel closer to my crush.

I hope that helps!!

Thanks for the ask!
