I am totally agree. symptoms of anxiety, and unreasonalbe emotion or idea, compulsive.
Not sure I can believe, one without any obsession in life. but infact there is..

Obsession can do very amazing or dangerous reaction towards people. Some want to end their lives because they thought they have lost their huge obessions, and some even dont want to live any longer because they cant find anything to be obsessed about. No more obsessions.

More and more, obsession toward something or someone is actually what we consider our goal of life. What we really want to achieve in our short life. Because its what we assume as Happiness, better, and steping forward as it will fullfill anything we need in our live. But is it true? I think its just a definition that we have invested in ourselves. Different obsession among different people are  built by their historical / past lives. How they grew and how they have learnt from surrounding.
Thinking back of how we grew, what was lack in there, and what are the dreams we started to built several years then, maybe we can start tolerating better of our unsuccessfull obsessions. Its not easy, but its possible. Surprisingly, even when you are obsessed about someone else, its actually -my hypotesis only- obsessing something else attached to that person. so you better pull a chair, find out, and learn from it. It will do you good, at least help you find what you really want over life, and help you move on by starting to be self-content person.
