Sometimes, when i am attracted to someone, i want to learn everything

This isn't all people who I develop an attraction to. It's some very specific people. When I say everything, I mean absolutely everything. In addition to the normal desires to learn more about their interests, dreams and experiences, I have stranger urges. I want to beg to see their medical records. I want to track their sleep schedules. I feel the temptation to install a key logger. Now, because I am a decent human being, I don't do these things. I often request for minor versions of very odd information ("Can I check your pulse?") as a way to cool down my intense desire to know them. I haven't to the full extent of my desire to know to someone who I feel this way about before, because of fear of making them uncomfortable. For me this isn't a control thing, so I'm not sure what it is.

    Just for the simple fact that you want to know unnecessary personal information so badly and there isn't foreseen motivation behind it, you should talk to a professional.

    I don't think this is normal at all and will never understand why some people are like this.

    If anyone ever acted that way toward me I would not want them around me at all. Needyness irritates me more than anything.
    I would be very uncomfortable if someone wanted to be that close to me but I'm also highly repelled by any type of emotional closeness.

      Now that I think about it, there is one thing I do that some people may consider spying.
      I do background checks on people I know.
      Not because I give a shit about their personal lives, but because I want to see if they have a known pattern of stealing.
      I am very paranoid of people stealing my stuff.

    I actually understand. I felt that way (not as intense) with my last boyfriend, and was labeled as "clingy" and "weird". Pfffft!!

    Ok. Maybe a little.

    Some people will say it's creepy but I think it's fascinating to have the feeling of learning as much as you can about someone
