Naturally being obsessive is not good, especially if it is causing havoc in your life. There are ways to of course distract yourself from this for a while but you need to get over it eventually. Therefore why not use the 3 ways below to try and get over your obsession permanently. It isn't easy, it never is, and the 3 ways I am going to talk about below, I have personally applied them to stop being obsessive over someone.
Distance yourself
By doing this you shift your focus that may be on the person entirely to your own life. Personally, I would still be around that person as I don’t like to ruin relationships just because of such hurdles so what I did was just reduce the amount of time I spent with the person. I would concentrate on doing new activities and hanging out with my friends moreover than be around the said person. If the person does not know you exist then you basically should stop thinking too much about them. This would definitely take time, therefore do not rush it, take your time but remember to have a support system that will push you and encourage you, like your friends and family.
Find new things to do
The first point and this go hand in hand, as I was saying I started concentrating on new activities. These activities include exploring my hobbies more, doing things that I always wanted to do but never came about doing them. This helped me with keeping busy and also sort of growing as a person. I gained different things from all the experiences I had when I was doing these things, whether it be meeting new people or helping out with events. I enjoyed myself and finally found something to do which was adding to my character and I was learning new skills too.
Look within to find out the source of your obsession
Most of the time we do not know why we are obsessed over someone, we do not know what they did that made us so obsessive over them. This could be in a love angle or friendship angle or in general you're obsessed with someone e.g. a celebrity. The way I found out why I was obsessed over this said person was when I realized that I love their personality and qualities that is what makes me obsess over them. They had the qualities that I loved and that made me think about them a lot and imagine all these other things with them. After I realized this I was like the person isn't the only one to have these qualities so it is nothing major to obsess over.
Being obsessive for a small period is natural but if it extends the short periods and affects you to the point you can no longer function properly. Where it starts affecting your normal day to day life then you need to worry and figure out different solutions. These solutions worked for me but they may not work for everyone, therefore you need to experience different things and each needs to figure out their own solutions.
