we were talkin last night about how there's a thin line between passion and obsession

tesoro Sep 18, 2003

ahh yes..Dean brought it up i think..it's so true though....

tinser Sep 18, 2003

yeah, but passion is acceptable and obsession is not

Why isn't obsession good?

tinser Sep 18, 2003

swimfan honestly...now that i'm rethinking about passion v. obsession...the line between them is getting less and less clear

Like..can't you love someone soo much that you are obsessed with them? I don't think obsession has to be a bad thing.

well, it depends on your definition of it i guess, obsession is usually connected to psychotic behavior.....you don't gota be psycho to show yer love..

the definition of obsession: is a persistent disturbing preoccupation with an often unreasonable idea or feeling. so, yes, that's a bad thing. ever see or hear of fatal attraction sometimes people get so attached that they can't even function without knowing exactly what their significant other is doing. the paranoia--that he may not like you, or he may be checking someone else out. the constant need of reassurances. that unbalanced fixation is oppressive and will eventually lead to a break up. obsessions in relationships shouldn't be confused with passion and they are not sweet or nice or healthy. definitely rethink this one.

Interesting..is that why all those other boys kept running away?

yeah but obsession need not be stalking as in swimfan.
