do you have an obsessive personality?

you just described meee!! I get obsessed with virtues, goals, songs, people, etc. Balance has always been something I struggle with. I'm also INFJ.
 
I can definitely relate to this, but with some things more than others. Sometimes it'll be music, and i'll just want to listen to a certain song or band for hours and hours on end. Other times it'll be a tv show that I'll want to watch episode after episode of.

If I crave a type of food i just won't be happy until I get it. If I like an item of clothing I will buy more than one of it in different colours if available.
 
I feel like my whole life could be seen as phases of obsession. I have been obsessed with excelling at an activity or sport, where I will make it the focus and mission of my entire life for years at a time. I have the tendency of living an unbalanced life when I am obsessively pursuing something. As I got older, I have been obsessed with relationships (whether they be healthy or unhealthy). I finally feel like I'm at a place in my life where I am obsessed with bettering my life and focusing my energy in the "most efficient way possible." I put myself under a lot of pressure to achieve this. There always seems to be that intense energy that can probably be seen as obsessive, however the direction of this energy changes every few years. Also, if I deem something important or find it meaningful, I will get REALLY into it. (For example, I am now pretty obsessed with learning about other INFJs haha.)

This is one of my first posts, so I wanted to post a monkey. :m200:
