Some people (if not all of them) have something they cannot live without. Be it a video game, a particular brand of chocolate, or some sort of before-going-to-sleep ritual, there's always that one (or more) thing that brings them comfort and makes life just a little bit easier.

However, while there are things we truly enjoy doing, eating, smelling, etc., sometimes those 'hobbies' of ours can get pretty addictive. Thinking about that, I got curious about some of the strangest addictions that our pandas have. Scroll down to read the answers!

About 4000 books condescend to let me live here, wedged in between. All I have to do in exchange is read.

"What Is One Strange Thing You’re Addicted To?": 30 Odd Things Our Community Can’t Live Without Music. It gives me infinite access to stories and alternate worlds and keeps me in a good place mostly. But one time after a concert, I had a comedown and depression episode that lasted weeks.

I read your nice comments and feel so bad. I suffer from severe depression and I can't listen music anymore cos it makes me feel even worst. I only want silence and I know this is a very bad sign. I won't wish this mental state not even to the worst person on earth.

"What Is One Strange Thing You’re Addicted To?": 30 Odd Things Our Community Can’t Live Without My wife. I can't imagine my life without her. I can't think of words to express how much she means to me, I won't even try.
A close second would be playing my bass. Arthritis and carpal tunnel since my 20s. It seems to keep my hands working and I can tell when I don't play.

I love how you express yourself. My husband keeps repeating your first part to me mostly because I'm accident prone and get in trouble. He plays the flute, the recorder and the violin. I love listening to him play. He writes music too.

"What Is One Strange Thing You’re Addicted To?": 30 Odd Things Our Community Can’t Live Without Peeling. Do you have a sunburn? Stay away unless you want me peeling the skin. Used to put Elmer's glue in my hands, let it dry, and then peel it. Friends had an 11ft python and I was in my glory when he asked if I wanted to help him shed its skin. I'm convinced I was a reptile in a former life.

"What Is One Strange Thing You’re Addicted To?": 30 Odd Things Our Community Can’t Live Without Listening to TV shows, repeatedly. I've watched the first 3 seasons of Burn Notice at least 50 times and the first few seasons of Ghost Hunters around 20 times. I don't even really pay attention, I just like to have familiar sounds in the background. It calms my brain. If there isn't something playing, I'll get anxious, paranoid and scared. Truly strange!

"What Is One Strange Thing You’re Addicted To?": 30 Odd Things Our Community Can’t Live Without Salt. I just love the taste. I sometimes will just get a teaspoon of it in my hands and eat a few grains at a time. Obviously, I am extremely dehydrated after that but I make sure I get plenty of water. I also tend to add a lot of salt to dishes lol.

I loved eating salt as a kid! Especially salt on raw tomatoes. Now that I'm older and have more than half family members with hypertension, I've learnt to control my addiction 😆

"What Is One Strange Thing You’re Addicted To?": 30 Odd Things Our Community Can’t Live Without Spider Solitaire. Been addicted since 1999. Someone gave me a hand-held game that I took abroad. Three months later, I was on an African safari and playing solitaire instead of watching for animals. I play at least 30 minutes a day.

"What Is One Strange Thing You’re Addicted To?": 30 Odd Things Our Community Can’t Live Without Theatre. And by that I mean the stage itself. I'm a theatre actress and the last two (Corona) years I noticed that I'm feeling physically bad if I don't do a few plays throughout the year. It's not the applause or the audience, it's just being on stage, reciting my lines, working with the colleagues, seeing the lights, smelling the unique odour... Sounds weird, I know.

It's not weird at all!! I also love theatre, and the last show I was in was part of a few one acts going on at my school (a chance for upperclassmen to direct short shows at the end of the year) and my directors stopped showing up so our show got cancelled and every other person in my one act was double casted in another or part of tech for another show and being the only one who was still there but not technically part of anything sent me into a bad mental state for a while. I tried to keep a positive attitude though.
