    K-pop stans, I’m sorry but almost every one of them is struggling with escapism

    I have this personal problem of getting highly obsessed with certain people. I'll keep on daydreaming about them all the time and it feels more than real. It feels like I'll meet them one day and they'll be glad to meet me too . If they have a breakdown, I feel the affects of their breakdown in my life. This is how strong the obsession has went for me. Sometimes it feels impossible to stop the way I feel.

      That is relatable to me. I had to ask this question: Are you fixated on a certain person or group of people all the time, or do you get bored and move on to someone else to obsess over after a period of time?

      @@jellyj1696 I have a certain period for obsessing over different people. My obsession spiral varies for different personalities. It feels out of control to stop obsessing, but sometimes I move out of the spiral unknowingly and then I begin obsessing over someone else again. For me the cycle of obsession begins from Infatuation, Crush, and the end game is Obsession, which ends depending on the consistency of my indulgence into that person, even in my daydreams.

      It's happening right now .. I have a crush on someone because it feels like we have so much in common.. this person doesn't know me, they could already have a relationship.. it sucks and I want this bubble to burst because I even day dream about meeting them since I know they're in a state not too far from mine. I don't normally feel like this so I'm a bit freaked out.

    I’m obsessed with a celebrity, but I don’t think he’s my friend. I know he’s a celebrity and he doesn’t know I exist… I don’t get how people believe they’re actually friends with a celebrity they’ve never met. I think my love for him is based on escapism. He’s a comfort to me because I can escape my own reality and focus on his movies etc.

    Kinda feel sorry for the people obsessing over fake online personas people put on social media, ie. streamers, youtubers etc.
    Especially to the point they donate money to them on daily basis for validation, hard to believe they don't see they're being used as suckers.

    Some ppl definitely get wayyy too invested with celebrities and influencers but I think part of the problem is there’s nothing in place to let ppl know they are about to cross the line or taking things too far

    people judgement will ruin the life. simple answer move on.. or keep move silence. Or another way keep judging.. even my friends and relatives thinking that way but I always remain silent not giving any reply to anyone. Or another way to live alone in life.

    This is a idiotic argument because billions of people for thousands of years have claimed to have a personal relationship with Lord Jesus even though they never met him face-to-face. Even though he has not been in the flesh for thousands of years.

      @@Qodovah Really helpful simpleton your comments reflect the way you are living your life personally which I can conclude is overfed undernourished self neglecting your own physical freedom from the inside out your entire life. So you don't feel alone that is the same common basic average normal low ranking civilian stupidity that has been whimpering across the landscapes practically since the dawn of creation into what we have today a diminished quality of life primarily due to global pollution only getting worse with each and every breath laugh smile giggle right into denial that you.
