I was obsessed about “the girl that got away” for longer than I care to admit. I feel I can talk about it as I’m no longer obsessed.

Me too.
My first many crushes were more like obsessions than romantic interests, and I obsessed for years over what would have happened with “the one that got away” if only I hadn’t screwed up when I had the chance with her.

If they were the right one, they wouldn’t have gotten away. They would have changed their plans and needs to fit in with you.

Only been obsessed with fictional people. Real humans are so boring.

Yes. I came to realise eventually that we probably weren’t as good a fit as I believed back then.
I wasn’t able to give her the sort of love and stability she required, and she probably wouldn’t have managed to endure me for very long.
We were young and in love, but left it at that. Life goes on.
I sometimes still think about her, but the “if only” is now an “I hope she’s got a happy life”.
How would one define obsession?
Yes I was obsessed once. It seems it faded when I made an effort to get to know him. We are still in touch but I have no interest. Maybe because of medication too I am in a better place.

I used to do that a lot but stopped doing it a year or two ago.

I feel the one I was obsessing over was not healthy for me. The person. She was beautiful though I did not think so at first. She made me feel great, though I did not think so at first. To be fair, I think she was manipulative but that is probably what made me fall in love with her. Not that I enjoyed the manipulation, but the manipulation made me like her more than I should have.

I’ve only been obsessed once, thanks to erotomania.

I would define it as an unusually high and persistent interest in something, and that you’re so interested in the person or item or theme that you spend most of your time thinking about it or trying to be around things that have to do with it.

@Berru thank you very much. A very insightful and intellectual perspective.
Following the description you have used, then I would say that I have not been obsessed with anyone
I was obsessed with different musicians when I was younger. And I was obsessed with my first girlfriend after I knew inside it was over. Sometimes I think I’m obsessed with my sis and dad because of certain family dynamics and my belief that they treat me unfairly.
I’ve been obsessed with a lot of people,
But they’ve always been fictional.
Usually characters from TV or people I just straight up made up myself.

i was obsessed with morrissey for quite a while. not in a romantic sense but possibly bordering on it.
famous runners. like seb coe really used to interest me.
im obsessed with this young musician cosmo pyke, hes amazing!
as for romantic, i suppose some girls really interested me growing up, but not really in a permanent way.
so seb coe, morrissey, cosmo pyke and some random girls i guess.

I’m obsessive about my ex, but in more of a terrified for my life kind of way than a romantic way.

hoo boy…this is a huge problem for me. like its embarrassing to admit im obsessed with people. i get very easily obsessed with people, primarily guys. i actually talked to my therapist and asked if i had any relationships or friendships that werent based off my obsession with someone else and honestly…not many. i always obsess over people. in doing so, ive learned that A. it freaks people out so im trying to learn to keep it quiet and B. people get irritated when you tell them theyre perfect for some reason?

I’m obsessed with everyone I like. I’m hot and cold. Either I love them and I’d die for them or I wish death on them and hate them more than anything in the world.
I guess either way I’m obsessed, since I also obsess over people I hate.
Also Beyoncé because she’s a goddess.
