Has anyone else gotten weirdly into/obsessed with something other people may find odd or quirky(but I'm NOT talking about sexual stuff) in the last few years as a means of coping with aging and stress and the state of things?

For me it's socks. I have no idea why socks either. Never gave a damn beyond type preference(low cut), but also would never wear them in the house or to bed. Out of nowhere I started wearing some type of sock at nearly all times. I've always taken care of my feet(AZ, flip flops in summer are a staple), but I noticed wearing socks also kept the skin on my feet much nicer and not so dry or something.

I started buying all different kinds of of lower cut socks(liner, no show, and low cut). All different thickness and material types, brands, colorways, etc.. I have socks for every situation now. Like I love liner socks for around the house because your feet can be covered where they need to be but still exposed enough to breath well. I have hundreds of pairs of socks now.
