And I am very obsessive. But I can't seem to help it.
With the new friend I mentioned before - I'm trying SO hard not to ask for reassurances that she likes me every 5 minutes. I'm chill until I start thinking I want someone around, and then BOOM - I become instantly neurotic and obsessive. :/ And to think, she thinks I'm hyper and intense NOW. I'm debating (and have been debating) over whether I should just drop the friendship and run while I still can. But at the same time, I NEED the support and contact. Ugh.

I have this obsessive tendency but not quite to the same extreme and I (mostly) keep it to myself. I think that getting to the bottom of it is key. It has to go, it interferes with daily life, with relationships, with mood. I don't know what is causing it, I've just come around to the realization that this is one of my major issues. We should be OK to be on our own for a good part of the day without obsessing about others. It's debilitating.
