obsessed with people...?

Post Reply New Topic

i always get so obsessed with people. That i know or sometimes that i just talk to online. right now im starting to get obsessed with someone i talk to online. even when i dont talk to them....i think about them... I talk to them all day and all night. Right when i get home the 1st thing i do is go online to talk to them. is this bad?

It might be bad if they think it's harrassment.

I've been obsessed with people but just famous people and it's more fact-collecting about that person or reading their work if they're authors.

You might try asking a friend who doesn't mind guiding you through social situations where your boundaries with interacting with this person should be.

I'm so bad with this. Famous people especially some politicians I get extremely obsessed with. One guy last year, this stranger I used to ride the bus with, I was so obsessed with him it could've almost be called stalking...I had to stop it because it gets out of hand for me.

Yeah, I do get obsessed with people.

Some lesser obsession with famous people, often I get obsessed with particular real people - I'll be someone I find interesting and would like to be friends with, only I can't easily make friends with them - if in a point in my life where I have few friends then my attention is more focused on this one person and thus an obsession. It's really quite sad.

I was obsessed with three of my classmates when I was in college. I was obsessed with Bryan, Dion and Mary Ann. It was quite embarrassing.

I thought I was the only one. When I was younger I did. God, it feel embarrassed to just think about it now.

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

Yes I get people obsessed every so often. They seem to happen when I have minimal friends and interactions with people. I have a theory that they result from mental/emotional boredom and the obsession is just your minds way of fulfilling subconscious social/emotional needs when you're too socially impaired to fulfill these needs in the standard way.

I think I've have four times as many obsessions than I've had friends. Safe to say when I come across that occasional mutual relationship, it's hard to get myself out of the one-sided relationship mindset (I always feel a strong attachment or connection to others and can't see that they feel a connection to me in return, as I'm not used to having the connection reciprocated). Almost none of my past obsessions bar one knew I was obsessed with them. That's the part that causes anxiety with the obsessions for me; fear that the obsessee will find out and think I'm a creep.

I'm obsessed about royalty, and people in history.

I became obsessed with Thomas Edison, and Shakespeare. I admired them, and was jealous. I wanted to feel like I'd be remembered too, so I compared my progress at any given time with theirs. Shakespeare was 15 when he started writing plays, and I was 18 when I started comparing myself to him, so I figured I had to work really hard at my stories to make up for the 3 years difference.

Isn't that a little insane? But that's where my mind was back then.

i was never interested much in anyone, and i still am not.
some people may look upon my existence and feel sorry for me, but i feel sorrier for them because they care about things more than i do, and it distresses them continuously when things they care about are not in good order as far as their mind can see.


i care about "stability and continuity", whereas most people care about "opportunity and conquest".

whatever.
good evening.

I've been there several times when I was younger. The two crushes I had in my life are the biggest examples. I never did anything creepy like stalk them or anything, but I did things like buy them stuff from trips and hang out with them at church & school. They never hinted that they were annoyed at it or anything, but it's not like I'm able to read anything like that anyways.

I just attribute those episodes to being young and dumb.

Yes, I have, with both specific actors, and with a few individuals in real life. In all cases, it involved a strong urge to know all I could about them, every fact and detail, and worked pretty much like any other obsession, although a few of the rl ones also involved emotions.

Not really. One of my obsessions is with Chespirito(I still find it hard to believe he's 80 something years old, I always thought he was 8 when he filmed El Chavo, imagine my surprise to find out that he was actually 41). Since he started his own twitter, I visit every day. I was so thrilled that he put up a picture of his parents. I think his mother's dress looks like the one Princess Irina wore. Actually, I think his stage name, 'Chespirito', was given to him because people started calling him 'Shakespearito'. They just changed the pronounciation because it Chespirito sounds better in Spanish. He was 40 when he started filming El Chapulin Colorado, and 41 when he started filming El Chavo(my most favorite). He says it's never too late to start. He created both characters, chose the actors, wrote the episodes for all his shows, and acted in them himself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chespirito So you still have time. Chespirito started MUCH later, but I think his stories are better than Shakespeare. He's also a composer, and directed and wrote other shows besides his own, as well.

I'm also obsessed with Princess Irina Alexandrovna of Russia, Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna of Russia, Empress Marie Fyodorovna of Russia, Queen Olga of Hellenes(born Grand Duchess Olga Constantinovna of Russia), Empress Charlotte of Mexico, Mary I of England, Charles II of England, Mary, Queen of Scots, Henriette Marie of France among others, all royalty. One of the reasons I feel so envious about Prince Phillip, and Queen Sofia is that they can say they are of Romanov descent, as they were both born a prince/princess of Greece and Denmark. I was also at one point obsess with Christian Castro.

Don't ever get me start on any of them, because you'll never get me to stop listing facts about their lives, and how they were all related to one another. In Chespirito's case, you'll never get me to stop asking talking about the characters on his show, especially Ron Damon. Ron Damon was actually also Christian Castro's uncle. Okay, I better stop.

For the past 18 months, I have been obsessed with a neighbor who is almost certainly an Aspie too but he is so socially avoidant and has such difficulty communicating that he is not able to talk to me although he shows that he is most likely equally as obsessed with me too. it has nearly driven me insane to the point that I now must not even allow myself to lay eyes on him. The sad thing is that it was my efforts to figure out this neighbor that led me to learn that I am Aspie to begin with, but I will never even be able to thank him for the biggest awakening of my life.

omg we live in the same city.

Anyways, yes.
Large problem of mine.
Not obsessed to the point of stalking, but I think about people often.
