I have been using love2d for over 2 months but I am new to love2d pysics
My question is how to pic objects with your mouse

do you mean drag and drop?
In the adventure game i'm trying to make, I delete the object from the scene and place it in an player inventory table.

yes drag and drop

When I use google: love2d drag and drop I found this.

The question is too broad to give a good answer. It's possible that what the OP wants is a MouseJoint.

how to detect if a hitbox is tuching the mouse??????????????

There's a tutorial on drag & drop in this old thread:
viewtopic.php?p=249895#p249895
It still works if you make some very minor edits.

Here is an easy example how to do the drag-n-drop rectangles and circles:

thank you very much

y am i getting a trying to use a destroid joint error
when i did
entetie.joint = world:addJoint('MouseJoint', entetie.hitbox, mx,my, -100, 50, true)
table.insert(entetie,entetie.joint)
table.insert(enteties,entetie)

and then

c.joint:setTarget(love.mouse.getPosition())
