Obsession

I am a bit of an obsessive person. I find something I like and gorge myself on it until I can't stand it anymore. Not only food, but people, places, things, anything I find of interest. For example, I post on a message board. When I first signed up, I spent hours reading everything that had been posted. Then, when I started posting, I would check in frequently to see if anyone had replied to my comment. If someone posted anything other than what I was talking about, I got offended. I would log in numerous times during the day, while at work, to check to see if anything new was there. This continued for a couple months, then it tapered off. I still log in frequently to read what others have written, but I'm not compelled to comment on it. I have done this with a couple different sites I've liked. I also do this people. When I first start dating someone I want to be with them all the time. I want them to want to be with me all the time. I get offended if they want to do something without me. This continues for awhile, until I've been with them so much they start to irritate me. Sometimes it's a long time before that happens, but I've also had it happen rather quickly. When I get to that point, I start finding reasons not to spend so much time with them or, when I do, I become snippy and short with them. Leaving them wondering what has gone wrong. This is one reason I think it's best if I stay single for awhile. The last two relationships I've had have ended badly, but I got so caught up in them that I forgot out me, and my daughter. So her sake, and mine, the single life is the best place for me. Atleast this way, if I obsess about something on the internet, she doesn't feel like there's someone more important than her.
