It’s not just the internet. I have a personal vendetta against people who don’t like when you copy mannerisms so I’m being a bad actor.
Sorry. I am the problem.
Inherently creepy, no, not at all. Frankly, it’s a fairly benign and even kinda wholesome.
Though might I recommend using more disarming language to anyone you tell this to who might be sleeping near you? Saying “I find snoring cute” or even “I find snoring strangely attractive” is more likely to put people at ease. Saying “watching them while they’re defenseless” or “I wouldn’t kiss you or worse”, even when in the most innocent of intent, tends to put too much emphasis on why you felt the need to clarify. Especially if they didn’t ask. Which tends to put people on guard.
Assuming you already have that covered, then rest assured you are not creepy in the least. Just a person who has a thing for snoring. Which is, kinda vanilla, imho.
