What Creates An Obsession (edited)



       An Obsession, as previously stated, is an idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person's mind. So, to obsess about something (or someone) you have to really, really, really, really like that thing (or person). Take FIFA for example. If you like it, you enjoy playing the game, being able to sort the teams to become number one, going against other players, and like the game overall as mean of entertainment.


Now, if you were obsessed about FIFA, you would be worshipping the gameplay, be able to create a team that can destroy your friends (if you have any at this point) with only rubbish players, enjoy destroying and humiliating your opponents online, and deny any argument that the game is bad in anyway.




An obsession that is the most known is OCD, also known as Obsessive Compulsory Order. This obsession affects people of all ages. This occurs when a person gets caught in a cycle of obsessions and compulsions. These obsessions are intrusive thoughts or urges that trigger intensely distressing feelings. As an example, just because you like having guests taking off their shoes and leaving them by the door doesn't mean you have OCD. You just like the fact that your guests don't leave a trail of dirt around in your house.

I had a friend who once had to turn off and on the lights of his house 7 times when he entered his room because he was worried that if he didn't, his family and all of his loved ones would die in a horrible car crash. It didn't matter if he had just recently left the room and remembered he had forgotten something in his room, he would've already turned off and on the lights 7 times before leaving, and he would've turned off and on the lights 7 times before entering.

An Introduction and An Explanation

Obsessions (what it is and how it can affect you)



Dear Reader from wherever the hell you are,


My name is Kotaro Thomas Boyce, and where you landed upon today in your spare time is a blog about Obsessions.


An Obsession is an idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person's mind, according to Google. This obsession can be about anything. What a person said, that person in general (which can be boiled down to either love or lust. Usually for people my age it's lust.), a movie or movies in general, a TV show, a book, a video game, comics, music, makeup, sports, gossip, firearms, hairstyles, FIFA, etc etc.



Now some minor obsessions are fine, they're usually called hobbies or things you do in your free time. You do these things when responsibility lets you go once in a while and you get to do anything you like for a certain period of time. However major obsessions are a problem. You forget about that pesky little thing that's been "holding you down all these years" called "Life" and divulge all of your precious time on that obsession. That's usually the case. But since we live in the 21th Century, you can film yourself talking/ranting/worshipping what you're obsessed about and you have somewhat of a chance of becoming what most people call "Internet Famous".

I am not free from these obsessions. I'm obsessed with TV shows, video games, comics, and certain movies. I am not absolutely obsessed with these things but these are enough small obsessions to make it into one huge obsession, "Entertainment". Some examples are "Rick & Morty", "Shovel Knight", "The Dark Lanterns: The Blackest Night", and "Hot Fuzz" in that order.




Through this blog I will try to explain my obsessions, how it began and how I can in a way, put a stop to it. Though to be honest the chances of me stopping my obsessions are about as likely as people stopping from doing that thing when they got nothing to retaliate when insulted so they just copy what the other person is doing like mock their laughter or how they talk.
