when i want something, i obsess over it until i either get it or find something else to obsess over. like when i wanted to get a classic car, i obsessed over looking at pictures and videos until i got an old school chevy and when i was looking at buying a house, every spare moment i had, i looked at what was for sale and went to as many open inspections as i could. now i want a pair of shire horses and there is a couple for sale next door and i cant stop thinking about them and now i am looking at pictures and videos of shire horses all the time! is it normal to obsess over things that i want?

Is It Normal?

    Yeah, I was like that with apple products and when I bought them, I moved on.

    I get that way about stuff that I want too. But I find it's better if I wait for awhile to see if it's something that I really want. This is because sometimes when I buy something that I obsess over, the obsessed feeling goes away after I buy it and I don't care about it anymore. I experience a lot of buyer's remorse that way.

    I think that you have probably just described every being on the planet... We all obsess about what we want. It's only human nature. xx

    I always obsess over things I want. Not that I'm ever able to afford any of these luxuries, but it's nice to dream :P.

    Perhaps this is saying something about your deep emotions and views on life, you want control, maybe... Something traumatic happened, you had no controk over it, from that point on, you must get your way or die trying. But I'm not too sure about that...
    Or what floyd something or other said, it was a good answer too.
