i get obsessed with people.
 

Does someone feel like me? i get obsessed with people, either male or female and i can't stop thinking about them. i want to be with them all the time and i want them to care about me. is anyone like that? i don't know what it is. but i really get obsessed and it affects me.

I am the same way. It's really weird because I get really obsessed with a person and they are all I can think about. It's not like that 'oh I'm thinking about them because I love them' feeling, it's like, I'm thinking about them because I need them. It's weird because it is happeneing with me right now, and I can't get the person of my mind no matter what. It fraks me out sometimes.

im glad im not alone. its really annoying. yeah its like needing them. i want to care about me, to show interest.

EXACTLY! It's like I not only want them to care, but I need them to care. It's like if I knew they didn't care, I don't know what I would do. Weirdest part is, that right know it's happening with someone that I know does care. But it's still really weird. So glad to know I'm not alone in this. Didn't think anyone else felt like this.

Yeh i do that too, usually it's when someone says something nice or is particularly helpful. It's strange i sort of latch on to them and feel like i want to talk to them all the time and watch for them to come through the door. I don't know why.

omg thats how i feel. if they say something nice to me that shows that they care, i get obsessed with them. yeah its so weird. i can't stop thinking about them.

God yes i soo know about this currently and unfortinately. An old very close mate moved to devon and has moved on from me got him self a new girl and that. But the thing is i actually felt very safe with him i nearly enough dozed off in his arms and this was before christmas.

I can't stop thinking about him either

I'm probably a bitch for thinking this but i'm praying his ex gets the children (custody) and they have to move back to derby...

It's so weird because it's happening right now with My orchestra teacher. Like, she's the only adult who has ever really shown she cares about me and for some reason I just always want to be around her. I know that she cares, and it makes me always think about her, but not in the way that I love her, cause I think that would be kinda creepy if I was in love with my teacher, but I always want to be with her. At school, I try to spend as much time in the orchestra room as possible so that I can be around her, I don't know what it is, but it's so weird that I feel like that...

yeah, i have the same thing right now about a teacher. she shows she cares. the whole class went for a coffee yesterday and i was glad she was there with us.

That's exactly the same as me!

why is that though? should i mention it to my doctor?

I don't know. Maybe. If you do, you should update us on what your doctor said. I think it's weird, and I would like to know what causes it.

I've felt like this about a teacher in school. I think it's quite 'normal' to feel like this about people - especially teachers. I don't know why though, female teachers can be seen as a role model I guess, or a female influence kind of thing if you havent had one growing up.

yeah definitely i will update. i will see her on wednesday.

When I explained to a psychiatrist that's how I was, she said that it's just my personality and that I get easily attached to people who show me some compassion due to the fact I was bullied at school etc... Her advice was to try and not get so close to people, it was the reason she told me that going to a councillor probably wouldn't be for me incase I got attached. I can't say what she told me ever helped though as I'm still the same!

mostly its about women for me. it can be with friends too. or with my mum.

i will ask mine and tell you. she may have a different view.

Thanks =] I never really took her advice to heart, as it seemed to me like she was just brushing over the fact.

It's the same with me. It's mostly about women. It actually hasn't ever happened with a man for me, probably because I am usually afraid of men, though that's a story for another thread. I don't really know what to do, and I will definatly be interested in what your doctor says.

by the way im afraid of men too. i believe that they will hurt me in some way.
