"Capgras is a mental condition in which you feel that a close friend, spouse, family member or a pet has been replaced by an identical imposter."
"thankfully" for me it mostly seems to effect pets (although i do have questionable moments sometimes).... id probably be completely psychotic if it effected humans. at least i cant understand what animals are saying and i dont have to trust them to care for me.
my first and worst case was when i was early - mid teens (i was more than old enough to know it was stupid).
i lived out in the woods so we had wild animals around. and my brain concocted this stupid moronic idea that.... the coyotes in the woods was holding our dog hostage and would replace her with a look alike. switching them back every now and again so everyone else in the family was suspicious.
i knew it was crazy, so i never said anything until after i moved out away from the dog.
now i deal with my cat. within the first year of getting her i think she had gotten out on me (in town now). she had a collar and nametag on. there is no mistaking my cat even if i did just get her and we werent quite bonded. yet i still wonder if i picked up the wrong cat and my girl is still wandering out there..... (at least it makes more sense then the first one)
its a fucking hell for me though..... i want to own a farm of animals....... now im probably gonna believe someone switched out my chickens for other chickens because......idk......... but its stressful........ to feel like the world is constantly playing games with you..... to know its completely insane, impossible, yet still you think 'maybe'........
whats funny is im not this way with wild animals. i mean yeah like most people i cant tell them apart. i could see the same herd of deer for a week straight and have no idea. but ive been wanting to get better at that so i try to pay attention. so now i can go "i bet youre that same little squirrel. hey little guy" i can trust i know a random animal that is a lot more likely to naturally not be the same one......than my own cat in my house...........
im sick of all these fucking disorders......
