Not an obsession, but an aversion: I hate public restrooms.

I am obsessed with one character in paricular from the Crash Bandicoot games (I don't play any other series). But anyway, for the longest time, only two of my friends knew at school. But then last week on the bus, I was talking about him and some other students overheard me and joined in, saying that he was awesome and stuff! So yeah, I'm no longer embarrassed about him at school anymore!

Well..I do not know if I could call it an obsession, but I do like swords very much. I do not own one myself though :(

I collect horse pictures, names and porcelain horses still.. and I really like to read about and most of all see, Mount Everest. I am really interested in adventurers... I admire them deeply.

The most embarassing thing is that I tend to be somewhat obsessed by getting answers from my internet friends. I sure look forward to read their mails every day..that makes me feel odd..

As for your question, I have an obsession with female footsies. Feet are just so beautiful. Especially those of Asian girls. I guess that this is my sexual obsession that normally must remain within the confines of my box of secrets, maybe only reveals itself in my foreign language hidden diary in which I write many of my podal fantasies.


No way...I also have a fondness for female feet but I have always kept that to itself. I'm too hesistant to tell my family or anyone else about my obsession with pretty female feet because I feel like they'll think that I'm weird.

I have a fascination with the events of September 11th. It's the worst thing that happened in my life time, and I was very sad that it happened, but I find it so damn fascinating. I try not to give into this one, though, because it's unseemly in my opinion.

My obsession is some guy I work with. I've worked with him for a couple years and I think he's an Aspie, I just don't think he knows it. Because of this though, he seems to be afraid of me. At one point everyone thought I had this weird crush on him, like, I just had to have him. It's not that, I've just always felt connected to him and tried to get to know him and just ended up pushing him away. It's embarrassing because I can only imagine what he thinks of me so I try to avoid him now. Then there's the other people at work and wondering what they think about it all. I have to play if off like I don't care but I try to see him every chance I get without anyone, including him, seeing me. It's weird.

Heh, at first I did not think I had any and then I read about the nuclear weapons that a few had as their obsessions and remembered when I was a teenager my mom would always catch me looking at pictures of nuclear detonations, or an artists rendering of Chernobyl as the roof was being blown off, or the data I had collected on nations and nuclear weapons + deployed + stategic + peiceful uses's + mines internationally for plutonium and Uranium + proliferation stats, present and future + developing nations and their nuclear ambitions.

Their are a few others, no point in meansioning, you get my drift. It was only embarassing because I would only do this at home, and so my folks would see it and wonder (my father is a nuclear engineer, and I dont think he liked me going thu his books he obtained from the nuclear facility he works at).

I was embarrassed about my airport security obsession because it's a controversial topic and if I expressed my views on it people might find my views stupid, or think I was paranoid about getting blown up. :)

I know quite a bit about Roger Bannister, which isn't unusual unless you consider I'm only 43 and was born ten years after his ground-breaking sub four minute mile accomplishment.

It's funny, I've spent so much of my life repressing every non-NT thought and urge I had that I have actually forgotten bits of me.

I thought my love of cats was an odd obsession. Everyone teased me for it because I really was quite obsessed. Toy cats, cat books and magazines, cat posters, you name it! Not so much anymore, but I still love cats.


I was when I was younger. I used to go to the river and find strays to bring home...I am sure my mother was thoroughly impressed. Actually, she is very much AS and she allowed it. By the time I was finished, we had 2 males and 5 females (all of which got pregnant at the same time) for a grand total of 27 cats!! *sigh*

that has passed. Now I avoid the very thought of animals and have expanded my deep-seated interest to less chaotic things.

For awhile, I had an obsession with Tangle Toys. I've got a large bowl full of them on my desk at work. I couldn't stop buying them and people at my office started to tell me I had a problem. :roll:

I've also got a slight obsession with this guy I work with, although it's nowhere near as bad as what you're talking about. I have no interest in him romantically at all; in fact, I've only ever said five words to the guy. It's just that he's so obviously an Aspie. It's not that I think about him that much, but when I see him, I catch myself observing like he's a lab rat in my experiment. Wouldn't mind being friends with the guy but he seems so shy I think I'd freak him out if I tried to talk to him.
