WoundedWild Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Lets talk about obsession. I want to hear your thoughts. And I am not talking about anything other than Love obsession. Relationship obsession. In other words, not material, monetary, weight, clothes, addictions or anything other than what you would have with another person. Tell me what obsession looks like.
Guest Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 well, i think most people view the word obsession as a negtaive - therefore i never use it i perfer muse and it changes all the time, between the two lines drawn
Lei Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 obsession? I sometimes describe it to what I am feeling. But I prefer lust than obsession - hahaha - lol. Either lust is never be a good thing. Overprotective is not an obsession either. OK,,just like what the person who posted at the top,,it's MUSE - da best!
Kittiecat Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 I was obsessed with this British guy I hooked up with my senior year in college. It lasted for about two weeks. During those two weeks I was of course going to travel to England to see him, we were going to get married and live in a castle and our children were going to have cute British accents and would grow up to become soccer stars. Then one day it just went away. I can't even remember his name now. So I think obsession is a short, all-consuming thing that one day just disappears. I think it happens more when you're young. I can't imagine doing that now.

obsession Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 And I was looking at the thread, thinking you were talking about me.
borneveryday Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 I think obsession is a form of escapism. It's like emotional television watching of a very intensesort. Rather than deal with reality, sometimes it is preferable to obsess about somebody romantically. You endow them with plenty of appealing, ideal attributes and then can avoid real life issues by thinking about them constantly, imagining scenrios with the two of you...etc etc. I think it's an avoidance tactic used when life becomes dissatisfying (as it so aften is!!!). Whaddya rekon?
remedylane Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 I can't really explain it that well, but I do know that I have a problem with obsessing over girls I find attractive. It becomes obsessive after I've thought about for quite a while. I've never been in a relationship before so I don't know what it's like...I often find myself daydreaming about what it may be like. Sometimes those daydreams turn into obsessions with a particular girl. Not sure what else to say. I guess it's normal, unless my obsessions are not normal lol
Author WoundedWild Posted January 2, 2007 Author Posted January 2, 2007 I think obsession is a form of escapism. It's like emotional television watching of a very intensesort Very insightful And I was looking at the thread, thinking you were talking about me. So, when does Obsession (or muse for our more sensitive readers) actually cross the line? How do you recognize when it takes a turn for the serious? For instance, you are friends with someone, maybe even best friends. Maybe even on your way to becoming involved romantically with each other. Hasnt crossed that line yet, but perhaps it will. Obviously, you are very very close with each other. Explain to me when that line gets crossed over into obsession....When one of you start to become obsessed...and since you are both so very close, you wouldnt deal with the obsessed person the way you would with a normal person whom you are not so fond of. So how would you know, and what would you do? I know some of you out there have been down that dark road, whether you were the object of obsession, or you yourself were the obsessor... Again, What does obsession look like??
sweetscarlet Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 I think that in some people, when a person makes you happy in thought or feeling, it acts like a drug and so you keep seeking that source out.

Obsession may look like many things, may ways, depending on what angle you are looking at it from...as you say that of the obsessor or the obsesee...it is a matter of perspective don't you think? It can be a dark and scary thing to be obsessed about, even by a close friend...or if you reciprocate it can be exciting and beautiful. It's like those pictures in black and white that show two images, the butterfly or the witch (or whatever) and you could see either depending on how you think/feel about each. I can't help being curious why you're so interested though!!
