I'm not certain this is where this thread belongs, but at the moment it seems best.
I'm curious to know what anyone thinks on obsession.
Perhaps if anyone is obsessed, maybe they'd elaborate, but not about your obsession -- I don't care about whatever you're obsessed with. I'm curious now about obsession itself.
I'm not talking about how girls obsess on their hair or someone might say "I'm obsessed with a fruit smoothie".
I'm talking about the kind of obsession where normal life is impeded by insistent/recurring thoughts on a topic.
The kind of obsessiveness that might be called a disorder by anyone with a psychology degree and a notable social life.
I want to leave the parameters pretty vague at the moment, but I'm not referring to the way most people apply the term colloquially.
Partially I want it undecided so the participants will feel comfortable posting their own ideas as they are instead of alterred by whatever arbitrary filter I have.
