Obsession

An obsession is when someone has a strong and constant interest in something that makes it hard for them to focus on other things in their life. It's like when you can't stop thinking about a favorite game or hobby, even when you need to do other activities.

Examples

• During art class, I discovered my obsession with painting intricate landscapes, and I couldn't stop thinking about how to improve my skills and create a masterpiece for the school exhibition.
• Some students develop an obsession with collecting rare comic books, spending their weekends scouring shops and online marketplaces to find that one special edition they've been dreaming about.
