Why am I obsessed with her? I shouldn't be. That's the whole point.
I dunno. Why are any of the people here obsessed with anything? When I get obsessed with things it's because it gives me a sense of order. If I can understand just this one thing- if I can really understand it, completely and thoroughly, and surround myself with it, then the world can make sense.
People are different though. We get obsessed with people because we need social contact- we need friends and loves- but we Aspies are not so good at making and keeping good relationships.
When we see someone who has qualities we like, we're not very good at getting to know them better. So we fill in the blanks. We imagine all their other qualities, and we fall in love with this mostly-imaginary person. We don't have many other social contacts to temper our interest in that one person, so we get obsessed.
