YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWe often confuse obsession with attention.
Obsession is about YOU:
You are being overwhelmed by involuntary imaginative and intrusive dreams, wishes, fantasies, or desires.
The subject of the obsession always comes second, although it is constantly in the background.
Attention is when your voluntary focus is on the OTHER, on what they are communicating to you - not on you or on your interactions with them.
When you are obsessed, you are unable to maintain attention in communication because you are too focused on and immersed in your obsession.
Attention filters out irrelevant and useless information (noise). Obsession floods the individual with noise and then puppeteers its victim via compulsion.
