Have you ever been really into something, obsessed almost actually... yet when you start talking about it to someone else, they don't 'get it' and maybe don't even have a clue what it is? Does it occur to you that it's odd that other people don't know about it or don't care about it as much as you do? LOL! Or do you think perhaps you're the oddball?

hi mommyboo i am obsessed with drums and guitars, i mainly play drums and sometimes strum the guitar, i like to see the reviews and information on drums and guitars, the funny part is that sometimes i start talking about those things even my friends don't seem to be interested in them, they don't play them but i still like to tell them " hey check out this stuff! man, it's cool... it has got a gibraltar hardware and splash cymbals" and stuffs like that, i honestly don't know what must be going through there minds at that time but i don't usually stop myself ... haha... music plays a very big role in my life and i am obsessed with that too...

It has happened to me before, mommyboo. ANd the feeling that I was the oddball was there until I learned that it didn't have to be me. I know we all have to issues/topics that are very strong in our opinion and that it puzzles us when we realize other people are not getting it. But, believe me you are not an oddball :)

With some things that I'm obsessed about, like "Twilight" or "Harry Potter," I'm lucky enough to have two friends that are just as obsessed as I am. With other things, like "Sims 3" or other games, my friends don't understand my obsession. Sometimes, I think I'm the oddball (my friends would say all the time. lol), but I also know that somewhere out there someone else is as obsessed or more obsessed than I am.

well i've been close to obsessed. but not really you know because i see obsessed as crazy and you want to have everything from that person or thing. you want it to be around you all the time. but like the jonas brothers love them everytime i think about them i go crazy i just want to scream when they sing i feel like their singing to me and i just think they are the hottest thing i only have one thing of theirs in my room and its a poster of them and i think if i had anything i would become their stalker haha. thats how much i love them i don't think its my fault that i like them so much, i have dreams about them, but like all i do is see them on alot of things in the store and hear about them all the time on disney and hear about them on tv. i feel like the media is making me obsessed with them. i don't want to hear them anymore. but the more you hear about someone the more i like them i don't know about yall.

A few years ago I was very addicted to online role-playing game. I had a group of friends who shared the same passion. We usually met up to play the game and talked about what happened in it and what was the best way to collect treasures and solve quests. I didn't feel anything wrong when I hanged around with them, but when I was with other people who didn't play such game I found nothing to talk about. Occasionally I received negative messages from people who saw us playing or simply knew that I was associated with this kind of recreation. At the beginning it didn't make any difference, but as life moves on I started to feel self-conscious. What do people think about me? Do they judge me differently if they find out I am RPG addictor? Some of my friends carry on this obession for many years but I decide to become a more 'general' person. I never think myself or my friends odd. We had good time and good friendship. Yet I am not confident enough to be judged by those who don't understand us.
