Is it normal to get uncontrollably attached to stuff?

I get attached to most things I encounter wether they be jobs, girls, artists, ect. For example a couple of years ago I started listening to an artist named lights and now I am so attached to her. I have to listen to every song she writes, every tweet she posts, and I buy most of her merch. I can't help it. I have to check everything she posts or I can find out about her every night or I can't sleep. This goes for my gf too and lots of other things. Is this normal?

Is It Normal?

    Hiya,

    Of course it is. Then you find that not everything that person does is as great as you thought it was going to be; they're normal people after all. I've admired different people for years – but when I’ve found out other stuff about them I’ve found they're pretty boring & I actually preferred being in awe of them.

    Did you mean "obsessed"?
    I kinda get the same thing too. Maybe it's a form of OCD or something else. Perhaps, it's love or that you just admire them?

    I feel the same way about some stuff, it's a kind of addiction. I try to not get to involved with stuff that I feel that way about. Books, movies, things. Never really about people.

    I am sorta this way. I obsess over somethings for about a month and then it'll change. My friends always ask "what's your obsession this week?"

    I wonder if this could be a type of OCD? I've heard of people who once they read a book, then feel compelled to read all other works by that particular author.
