Yes, but that was love and happens to most people in life.

I mostly get obsessed with women. Like, I guess you could say Chris is an obsession, but it's the first time that the object of my obsession actually wanted to be friends with me. The first obsession I had was with my fourth and fifth grade teacher, and was so exhaustive that not only did the obsession exhaust itself (as tends to happen with my more intense interests), I even wondered if I had a crush on her! Young sexuality is so annoyingly fluid :roll:.

We're talking about obsession, as in "Gee, I hope I'm not stalking", not "Love".

When I was 15 I was obsessed with well known Musician Iva Davies who is the lead singer of the Australian band Icehouse until I started working in the Music Industry and I saw what obsession was like from all walks of life with people and its scary what I saw and I was just loading and unloading trucks for bands for a living and I had to keep up with obsessed girls trying to get in to see if they could get with the guys from Acdc people like that take obssession to the next level. No I am not obssessed with anyone I rather hide from everyone then to be obessed with them I'm more obsessed with my interests and hobbies.

It happens sometimes with real life people. I can get obsessed with someone I find very interesting with a really unusual way of thinking. I think it's more accurate to say that I get obsessed with someone's mind because my obsession is not always romantic. I do have trouble telling the difference in the beginning because the rush and the intensity of it could be easily confused with infatuation.
It doesn't happen often because unfortunately it's really hard for me to find someone I could get so interested in. But when it does I could spend weeks just talking to that person. And when that person isn't around I have conversations with them in my head. Of course they're never as good as the real ones.
I don't think it's embarrassing as long as the person I'm obsessed with doesn't mind. And being as weird (original) as they are they usually don't mind :)


This sums it up for me quite eloquently.
