When it becomes a problem for object or subject of the love.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Re: obession or devotion
If "devotion" includes compromising your own fundamental wants and needs and objective well-being, then the line is already somewhere behind you.Originally posted by boann

Think of it as the Lamborghini auto insurance question - if you have to ask how much the insurance costs, you can't afford the car. In other words, if you're asking where the line is, you're already across it.When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016. "You're fired."

what sort of actions would you think are obsessive?
and no im not in a relationship
just thinking .....
is writing a letter every day obsessive or is that just devotion....
is once a week more like friendship?
how many phone calls cross over the line of interest to something else?
i know the apparent things like everyone else..
that show obsession or stalking..
following them , or calling 20 times a day,
or breaking into someones house..
those everyone knows cross the line ..
but what things have happened to you
that made you feel uncomfortable ?Last edited by boann; June 8, 2005, 19:35."If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun." -Katherine HepburnComment

hmm...
of people I don't live with
I send an email, or call my freinds a couple times a year, unless we are doing something together... (I am mostly considering freinds who I dont' live near here...)
I talk to my siblings a few times a year (anywhere from once to a dozen, depending on the sibling)...
I talk to my mom, somehow almost every week
don't really talk to anyone else, and I am not made to feel uncomfortable by anyone...

This reason why this is not a good definition is that a person might be obsessed with a narcissist and they might even crave abuse.Originally posted by BlackCat

Re: Re: Re: obession or devotion
That may be true, but wouldn't it then be prudent to run in the other direction ?Originally posted by Kidicious
