Doesn't have to be a negative, although I know many liken it to OCD like traits. I think obsession itself is neither postiive or negative. Kind of just a word that describes someone's behavior. I say neither positive or negative, for me at least because some of my obsessions have been positive in my life. I can be very engrossed, even obsessed with drawing at times in my life and in no way do I see it as a bad thing. I think it depends on the type of obsession and whether it interferes with your well being that determines if it's negative or not.  Just my 2c.
I know that I get obsessed with gaming. I play games to death sometimes, like right now I'm playing a certain game that I've found I've put in 181 hours into in the past 2 weeks or so..
