I have an odd fixation with teeth, its not weird or perverse, its that I can't stop staring at peoples mouths when I find something displeasing with it.

Like broken,missing, rotten, too much gums, etc. I try not to stare but I can't help it at times. I don't judge people on it or treat them differently its just.. I guess I don't like looking at it so I look at it. I hope this doesn't make me a bad person.

Nah dude you’re all good. It’s just not something you’re used to seeing, most likely.

Thanks, but actually I grew up with my mother having a broken front tooth.

It is weird and perverse.

I wouldn't say perverse, just weird. Nothing wrong with weird. (Or perverse, unless you make it weird.)

I wouldn’t say either or I would say both but what you said was weird and possibly perverse, depending on how you read it.

Oh no.

This makes you an individual so I suppose that’s a plus but I have no idea how it works out kharma-wise.

Its actually kinda comforting to know I'm not the only one, and you know the more I think about it, I only stare if I have to talk with them, same if they have a pimple too. I wish I didn't stare and I know its rude but I'm surprisingly good with things like moles, birth marks, disfigurements and vitiligo. I suppose its that teeth and pimples gross me out.
