Does anyone else have any obsessions ? Like with a person, or um interests? I notice for mine its Marvel characters, but like I can get so obsessed with people and put all of my energy into them and I think im forming a friendship but im not? Its like when I was 7 I had an obsession with a stuffed toy and I related more to the toy than to human beings.

I used to heavily personify my Pokemon, especially my turtwig, Donphan and vulpix.

Yes, plenty. I like marvel characters too, specifically the X Men characters Jean Grey and Rachel Summers.

When doctors ask me about obsessions I say I don't have any, but I think that's because I've learned to pretend I don't to avoid embarrassment... I'm currently mildly obsessed with someone who I just found out is autistic, but if anyone knew they'd probably take it the wrong way and think it was a romantic interest... I actually think I'm obsessed with autism; thinking about it (when separate from my 'failures' anyway) gives me a warm fuzzy feeling in my chest.

I'm obsessed with work. Once I get to work on something, it's impossible for me to stop.
