YES! Nothing makes me back away faster than that sort of superficial, mindlessly cruel judging that you know would hurt the person to the core if he/she heard it. I think I always identify somewhat with the person being judged and think that if the asshole only knew me better, then he would say similar things about me.
And throwing things away hurts me. When I was a kid, I used to say a prayer every time I threw a toothbrush away: "Oh toothbrush, you have served me well, thank you and please don't be sad now." :-D
To this day, I won't throw out old stuffed animals, even though there are hundreds sitting in storage. I still remember riding on the bus once and seeing the saddest thing: In an alley behind an apartment complex, a bedraggled lifesize teddy bear was sitting by the dumpster, his head bowed just like an abandoned human being. It was starting to rain and he would get soaked soon. I wanted to get off the bus and rescue him, but then there was the problem of what to do with him afterward, so I didn't. Still feel sad about that.
Guilty as charged! I'm 22 and I still sleep with a stuffed pig whom I talk to and for. Whenever I date a guy, I judge his coolness partly by how he reacts to the pig. My last boyfriend and I were together for a year and a half and by the end, he had bought his own pig and was talking to him and for him in a high-pitched little voice.

We're wackjobs, no doubt about it.
