Is it normal that i have to be 100% obsessed with something?

Ever since I can remember, I have gone through phases and obsessions. It started with The Little Mermaid. I had a dress, costume, sheets, a notebook, and an Ariel Barbie. I watched the movie almost every day. After that, it morphed into something else and another obsession has taken the place of the original one every few months or occasionally every year depending on its intensity. I can't just casually like a tv show, I have to LIVE for it and the time period it represents. Right now it is Downton Abbey and I am so obsessed with anything Edwardian, English, or 1920s, the fashion, the food, teacups, ANYTHING! Sometimes I am scared that I will fall out of love with it, because I have invested so much time and energy.

No one else I know is like this, and my sister has always thought it was weird. Is this normal for anyone else?

    Yeah it's fine. Some people take their obsessions too far, but it doesn't sound like you do. Just keep it that way and don't become obsessed with Kate Nash :)

    Not a really big deal.

    Yep. Me too. I'm exactly the same. I've always been that way too. It doesn't have to be a bad thing. Figure out how to channel it in a positive way. I use mine with my artwork and writing.

    I think you may be filling a void in your life. Most obsessions aren't good. Isn't there a better way to spend your time?

      I don't think so. I'm very obsessive as well, just like she or he is. I've always been, and I doubt I'm trying to fill some kind of void. I think it's just how your born. Maybe a part of your personality. Obsessions aren't always a bad thing. In fact, sometimes they can be a very good thing. It depends on how you channel it. I enjoy writing and, my obsessions, are very helpful when it comes to inspiration.
