Your Obsessions

Post Reply New Topic

What is your main obsessions in life?

Not obsessing over things.

Consumption of cute things and media. Pleasure I guess.

Happiness too.

The Aquabats

Staying out of hospital

World history.

Statistics of countries.

Looking at YouTube videos of places like Haiti, which still survived and had a rich market even after the devastating earthquake of 2010.

Cataclysmic Research. But also 19th century early photographers. But also early historical weather. But also house construction. But also new novel inventions. But also how the various segments of the brain work together or become dysfunctional. But also solving all the mysteries of life before I die. But also Endothermic Stars. But also if alien life exist and have visited our planet, how their spacecraft fly. But also dinosaur turtles. But also growing extinct American chestnut trees. But also essential oils. I think there may be a few hundred thousand more "But also".

The Victorians had a weird habit of taking postmortem pictures. It wasn't weird to them, though.

Photography advanced greatly from the 1820s to the 1840s.

One of my obsessions is having the wherewithal to create a great invention.

I tend to be obsessional about whatever I turn my mind to. I have a fairly broad range of interests, many of which I'm only "interested" in because of perceived necessity, but once I start, I apply all my might to doing as good a job as possible. Examples: growing tomatoes, making a cup of tea, easing my sensory issues, shaving, doing a jigsaw, lacing my boots, washing dishes, buying food, recording a song, taking a photograph. One of my most persistent interests is music, but I often abandon it for days without suffering.

I have quite a list of things that I have been obsessed with and am liable at any point to become obsessed with again - no obsession ever seems to completely go away, including ones that only last for a week-ish and I actually dislike.

My current ones are Hellraiser/Cenobites, SCP Foundation, and playing games on my phone that aren't really interesting themselves but earn me points toward gift cards through the app Mistplay (it's really getting points that I'm obsessed with).

I obsess over most things, whatever I set my mind to thinking about.

Making it all work.
Health & sleep.
My past.
Editing graphics.
Thinking.
Collecting.
Having it all.
Being alone.
And avoiding obsessions, as well.

Anything to do with people and social interaction.
