Is it Love or Obsession?

Is it Love or Obsession?

Whether you’re talking about love or obsession, the word itself can have different meanings. In this post, I’ll try to explain what each of them means and how they are different from one another.

Love is the only one of the two that has a beginning and an end.

Love is the only one of the two that has a beginning and an end. Obsession, on the other hand, doesn’t have a beginning or an end. It’s just an ongoing feeling that never goes away because it’s always there—it never goes away until you give up on someone (or something).

Love is more than just a feeling: it’s also an emotion and an action. You can’t love someone unless you care about them; if you don’t care about them enough to put in effort into making things work out for both of you then maybe this isn’t right for either one of you!

Obsession is an unhealthy obsession.

Obsession is not a healthy way to feel about someone. It’s important to understand that obsession is not simply an emotional attachment but rather a mental illness and form of addiction, which can affect your ability to think clearly and make logical decisions.

While you may have been in love with this person for years, when they started acting strangely or not returning your calls, it’s time to move on!

A person who loves you is not interested in keeping you dependent on them.

Obsession is a feeling that makes you feel bad. Love makes you feel good and keeps your mind focused on the other person, so it’s important to distinguish between the two.

A person who loves you will not want to keep you dependent on them. He or she wants to give his or her time and attention freely. Without expecting anything in return except appreciation for their generosity (which can be expressed by doing something nice).

In contrast, an obsessive partner would rather stay in control of every aspect of your life. From what clothes you wear down to how often he sleeps with his best friend. And will do whatever it takes (including breaking up with a partner) if he feels threatened by any signs that this person might be growing closer than expected or becoming more independent from him/herself

Love is a feeling that makes you feel good, while obsession makes you feel bad.

Love is a feeling that makes you feel good, while obsession makes you feel bad.

Obsession is an obsessive thought or behavior that drives one to do something repeatedly, often compulsively and repetitively, in order to achieve some end result. It’s easy to see why someone might be obsessed with their work—they love what they do so much that it becomes part of their identity. But if this relationship becomes unhealthy (and most likely ends up being unhealthy). Then there’s no doubt about what kind of relationship this person has with themselves: They’ve become addicted to the high from doing things their way instead of allowing themselves space for growth through trial-and-error experimentation with new ideas and methods until they find something that works best for them personally as well as professionally.”

If you’re talking about love, it’s love for life

If you’re talking about love, it’s love for life; if your talking about obsession, it’s obsession with someone else’s life.

In the case of the latter kind of relationship (obsession), what starts out as a harmless interest can turn into an all-consuming need that slowly eats away at your mental health and destroys any chance of happiness.

Conclusion

In summary, love is a feeling that makes you feel good, while obsession makes you feel bad. Love can give meaning and purpose to your life; obsession takes it away. So when someone says they love you or have an addiction. What they’re really saying is that they have a problem: they need some kind of reassurance or validation from someone else in order to feel fulfilled at their core being (or the part of themselves that makes them feel alive). If this sounds like anyone in your life right now. Then make sure they know how much you care about them by addressing this issue head-on before things get out of hand!
