sometimes i do that because i want to "step" in their shoes & see what all the hype is about & to understand it more!.!.

but that is a bad idea because often this backfires!.!.!.and their obsession eventually becomes my own obsession!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. :) I see how the obsessions of others discomforts them and don't wish the same for myself!. I usually learn by observing others!. I happened to grow up around OCD behavior and learned a great deal from it, mostly its unpleasantries!.

If at all possible, I try to ease their obsessions without the use of force and without belittling them or making them feel as though there is something wrong with them!.

We all need comfort and a helping hand at times!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nope!.That's what makes me totally different!. I only think about me
and human relations!. Anything else doesn't truly matter!.!.!.
For me life is about being the best you , you can!. I'm obsessed
with the idea that i just want to better myself and take
advantage of everything the world has to offer and live my lifeWww@QuestionHome@Com

No, but I do find the obsessions of others to be fascinating at times!. In such cases, I'll do more research into that thing and see if I develop a greater interest in it as well!. Haven't really picked up any obsessions from others that way, though!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
