It's just that your vacation is over (which upsets most people) and school is hard work. So if people don't realize that campus is your escape, then of course they're going to make incorrect assumptions about obsessions or whatever.
I have no comments on the other stuff you mentioned as I agree with the above that its more about others' assumptions and perspectives, instead of how you actually come across.
I would worry less about all these random people you keep posting about if I were you. It's just causing you unnecessary turmoil, second guessing every action and every word you utter.
Be confident and comfortable with who you are and who people think you are will matter less.

I can see where you're coming from and what you're saying. I will admit, even I dreaded the days of going to class, writing papers, taking tests, and just the overall stressful course load. I was always happy when that part was done. But yeah, what you mentioned how to me, going to campus felt like an escape, it did. It was basically my only way to be independent and away from home. I obviously didn't tell many people that, only a few did.
Some people did understand so if they saw how happy I was, they knew why and didn't question it. And there are a couple people like me who also couldn't stand being home so they couldn't wait to be independent too. But yeah, I can see how for most people I may come off as weird to them. I no longer dwell on moving back to campus. I just now hope that very soon I can get my own apartment while working.
