I have obsession problem
My parents were abusive they beat me up to hilt
Brother always ignored me and no friends
I was always lonely
If any guy talks with me nicely i get obsessed with that person
I start thinking about them, following them, calling them up
and even when they ignore me or chase me out
i keep running back to them
one such last encounter was with a married man
he was talking with me on phone
and we became close also
but then he changed his mind
we did not keep in touch
but i cant get him out of my mind
i was married then and im still married
its just that im obsessed with this person
what is this disease? anyone else as it?

You're looking for someone to support you utterly. No-one sane and healthy would look to such an undertaking. If I can be blunt, the only people who would want you in this situation are users and abusers.

If you came up to me with that attitude I'd probably be thinking about I can sleep with you. I'm a man; this is what men think about. You'll either be ignored or exploited/abused. Neither are good, really.

So, really, you need to look at your self-esteem as at the moment you're sending out all the wrong messages.

ya one or two guys who i tried befriending for just platonic relationship
tried molesting me
im really not sane...
but how do i cure this problem?
even the married guy im talking about
i asked him to come over to my place
for a chat
but he said why would i come so far for a chat
i will come only if i get something special
i think he was hinting sex
actually i dont get social cues
since i was isolated for longtime from society

You need to get out of your isolation. Have you thought about seeking help for this? One thing at a time, and all that. You really don't want to be interacting with people in an attempt to find friendship at this stage; it's dangerous.

no its embrassing and i cant tell this to counsellor or anyone
they wont understand
i am unable to come out of isolation
cant hold onto jobs, activity classes are boring since i barely talk
and cant make friends there
i am afraid to make friends even if i make i dont tell them about
my background or whatever happened i fake things
its a vicious circle and i dont have family or relatives
just hubby who is quite busy and doesnt show interest
i know its dangerous and causes harm to many
just cant get over this disease

I can become somewhat obsessive about people that I fall in love with...but in an adoring pestering irritating I want to be with you sort of way. I just kind of shower them with things that I've made for them, send 25 texts in 30 minutes, keep checking my email in case they have mailed me, bend over backwards for them to give them anything they want lol...for a while anyway until I get past the infatuated part and start wanting my own space again lol. I am still adoring after that but tend to need more time to myself then or I start to get frustrated due to not having enough time for my interests and routines etc.

If someone is not available to you the best thing to do though is let it go. Also if they start treating you badly or disrespectfully don't stick around either, as much as you may feel you love them. I once spent months chasing someone who I adored but whom was not interested in a relationship with me and all I ended up doing was pushing them further away from me. Eventually I realised we were not really compatible anyway. If we were things probably would have worked out better. Let it go.
