Is it normal to be severely obsessed with people?

Question

And should I discuss it with a professional or is it normal to obsess over people?

Answer

It’s not normal to be severely obsessed with anything... definitely should speak with a professional.

Answer

I disagree with the other commenters. If you’re autistic like myself, we tend to obsess and attach very easily to people that we feel comfortable around. Whether it’s getting overly attached to crushes or wanting to spend all of our time with a best friend. Almost to a point of codependency. Nothing anyone does these days are “healthy”. Everyone has something. Maybe it means there’s an attachment issue or fear of abandonment, but that’s not criminal. This is how me and my best friend are. We both have autism. It helps the both of us cope with having to live a life where we function differently from everyone else, and we both understand what’s going on in the others mind. As long as no one is getting hurt and being put in any situations, it’s fine. Talk to someone if you’d like, but people are lying if they say they don’t obsess over people. We all have those people we idolize and love like fictional characters or actors. Maybe you have an attachment issue. But it’s not like you’re broken. You’re allowed to be excited to talk to people and “obsess” over others and idolize them. Humans come from a long line of idolizing people... we have how many “gods”. Cmon now. Now if you’re stalking them or holding them against their will or making them uncomfortable, then yes, seek professional help.
