Any theories on why we get obsessed with people?

[Seed]

I tend to have a reoccurring pattern of getting obsessed with people / things?

As I've grown up (late twenties) I've learnt to channel my obsessions which has worked quite well as the energy has caused me to develop and master particular skills, talents and creative pursuits. 

However, any idea what brings it on?

I mostly get obsessed with random people in my life. Not in a way that I want a relationship, but just because I can't get them out my head and want to achieve goals with them and fantasise a lot (I've always been  a BIG  dreamer) It sounds like infatuation, but it's not.

I also get obsessed with hobbies, career goals. authors... it can be quite draining but exhilarating.

Am I out of control?

Thanks.. :-)

People usually project their Swadhisthana in people's Akasha or Muladhara. Those in cause if they don't know themselves, anti-natural connections and blockages develop.

@Hellspeed I am sorry, I have no idea what you mean. Would you mind explaining those terms? 

I understand if you're too busy, but what you have replied, makes no sense to me.

I'm obsessed with cars, even i got one, every day im surfing the net looking for cars that i daydream to purchase. The I buy one and regret it because I ruin my minimalist lifestyle.

i to, experiencially know what you are talking about....to put it simply, this is a result of conditioning and personality. Awesome you have begun to notice this behavior 

How to these obsessions relate to your identity? the thought/self and beliefs

Exactly, is a fixed identity/personallity, now let all that go and follow the Chest, sooner or later one will reach there. Best of luck.

@Hellspeed @DrewNows they make me feel alive and high... they push my boundaries. They feel like drugs. They feel naughty. They keep me up at night fantisising. (Not in a sexual way) 

what is your advice that I do ? You say it’s to do with my conditioning. Does this mean they are pointing me towards my true allignment or are they distractions of the ego ?

I am female by the way. In case that makes a difference. (I’m quite feminine. Probably 70 percent feminine energy and 30 percent masculine)

It’s the relationship between images that causes this. My self image seeks comfort/gratification/validation in the image I project on to another persona or a thing. Without the two images (self image and image that strengthens my self image) there can be a sense thinking/feeling “I” am unfulfilled/empty/isolated/lonely. 

This can be seen directly by observing ourselves.

Obsession is good, just be obsessed with the right things.

Never in relationship.

An obsession about keeping a healthy body, fine tuned vehicle and such ok, but when it comes to relationship, as in psychologically with (ourselves/others/environment)..then no this obsession(image imposition) is destructive. Actually the the reason life is the way it is now.

Fosho?

Its not something so abstract that it’s difficult to see or observe, but sometimes the self distorts the obviousness of it. It’s an important thing to talk about. It is a common characteristic among dudes and dudet’s.
