Female, and the tendency towards both. Admittedly in the past when I became obsessed over people I knew, it rarely worked out well (I seemed to not give the other person enough breathing room), so these days, since I don't really know where boundaries lie too well, I stay far away and generally chide myself if I can feel the ol' inkling of obsession being reawakened. I would usually become obsessed with a mentor figure. Rarely anything involving romantic feelings.

I chose 'people AND subjects', but the only people I get obsessed with are TV actors and characters. I don't take enough notice of people around me to see them as anything more than an irritant.

I'm obsessed with Hunter S. Thompson, various genres of music and film, eyes, and psychedelic drugs

Subjects. They are less likely to turn on you.
