Is this unhealthy?
Question:
Answers:
Some people want to know as much as they can about a topic they like. I tend to get obsessed with things as well.
Ie. Romanov dynasty, genealogy of royal families, Star Wars, Harry Potter...
It's fine until it takes over your life. If you find yourself closing off from the world (not doing things with family and friends) that's the point it becomes a problem. I try to make sure that I limit myself to credited sources or a certain amount of sources and then use the same time or requirement on my life with friends and family.
You sound find. Try finding some new friends who enjoy what you enjoy. Or find something your friends do like to get obsessed about. It's totally normal. Everyone has at least one "skeleton" in the trivia closet. ;-)
you ALLOW yourself to get obsessed. you are in charge of yourself.
If its causing you to lose friends and that's all you can think about then it isn't OK, its a problem.
Get some therapy.
Your fine, it's just your own personal fad.
No you as long as it is not controlling your life then there is no problem
If obbsessing over movies make u lose any friends or ppl close to u. its NOT a good thing. u are in charge of you. dont make big mistakes that could ruin great friendships. if u like movies like that, fine. Make ur decisions and in my book you've got 2 options; let ur obbsesion control, or control ur obbsession. if you cant stop obbsessing, get some therapy of some sort. it could help.
As long as it doesn't interfere with your everyday life, I think it's fine.
Everything is a matter of degree. If you go about your daily life-go to work or school-take care of yourself etc, that kind of an obsession isnt bad. If it consumes all of your time and energy to the exclusion of family and friends, then it becomes unhealthy. People dont usually switch obsessions that easily, so it's really just an interest-not an obsession.
Those sound a lot like restricted interests. Since this actually has gotten to the point of annoying friends maybe you should check out some websites about Asperger's syndrome and other disorders that would cause these type of obsessions.
Well not unhealthy but just not cool, get a personality and stick with it
It could suggests an addictive personality. Which you might want to see a psychologist for.
no its not unhealthy...just something 2 keep yourself amused...dont worry i do the same...now its mcr!
I wouldn't worry about it UNLESS the obsession interferes with my everyday life in a negative way.
it sounds as if you may have an addictive personality.
