We may become obsessed with a person, thing, place, goal, etc but it all comes down to one thing: Addiction. Obsession is like an addiction. We feel like this thing completes us and we cannot live without it.

We think about it all the time, become worried about it, start having fears concerning it, and the feelings grow stronger and intense with time. They can get to a point of being uncontrollable. We may become unmanageable because we only want that thing.

It becomes our end goal. It's either we have it or have it. When it gets to this point, it becomes dangerous. We begin to devalue things that were once important to us and instead prioritize our object of obsession.

Things that once gave us life and joy, or we simply loved doing don't seem as fun anymore. All we want is what we are obsessed with. If it's a person, we want to be close to them, talk to them, know where they are, what they are up to, and when we'll interact with them again.

If it's something we have been doing, we always think about it even when we are not doing it. We cannot wait to finish what we are doing to get back to it. We may even abandon important things for it.

When we are obsessed with someone or something and they are taken from us, we feel devastated. It's like we'll never find it again or be happy again. However, that's far from the truth. Happiness never depends on one thing no matter how big it is to us.

Admittedly, obsession can make us achieve great things by increasing our energy, drive, determination and resilience. However, these obsessed quotes remind us that we should not let obsession take the best of us
