Research

I found this interesting article about obsession. Carmen Harra, who is a psychologist, talked about being obsessed with someone and what that means.


  • She says that none of us admits that he/she is obsessed as it s a harmful state of being but the truth is that everyone has got an obsession from food to people. (which is what I said  right from the beginning of the project even if a lot of people denied having an obsession).
  • being obsessed is obviously not a good things. In fact it is a negative thing and everything we have in life we need to consume it with moderation as that is the key to a good life
  • the word "pbsess" comes from the Latin verb "obsidere" which means 'to sit inside of, or occupy so basically when you are obsessed with a person, that person figuratively occupied our brain
  • Dr Harra also states that as a specialist, she hears a lot of cases about obsession for a person because all sorts of reasons
  • she says that the key to obsession is when you can't have that person (in my story, Andrea has become obsessed with a person because she didn't have anyone before and now she doesn't want to let go because she is afraid of loosing him)
  • being infatuated with someone is healthy but she says that we can cross the line and go too far with that and that's the moment when we develop that addiction, that obsession with another person
