What do you do when you have an obsession of Michael Jackson?

Answer 1

If the subject is the addiction to drugs and subsequent death of Michael Jackson, then one must look at what his death and battle with drug addiction signifies.

Some people were shocked that such a high profile celebrity could even have a disorder like addiction, and some thought Michael Jackson to be "immortal".

When they saw that he was, in fact, most likely more vulnerable than most people to death, and suffering from addiction, it truly stirred up a lot of emotion in people who were his fans.

If you are dealing with an obsession, (cannot stop thinking about the person, to the point where it negatively impacts your life), then seeking out the advice of a therapist is always a good place to start. They will assist you in beginning a journey of discovery through your life and help with any issues that might be harmful, such as obsessive thinking about any individual. Obsession with celebrities often stems from the inability to maintain social relationships with others in daily life, and so a person seeks out a "relationship" with someone they most likely will never meet or have a relationship of any kind with, so they don't run into the obstacles of the "give and take" involved in a relationship. This is very common, and nothing to be embarrassed about.

Lots of people in their teen years have "movie star crushes" for the very same reason. The odds of them having a REAL encounter with this person are slim, so they begin the process of "practicing" what they will do when they actually have a crush (and possibly a subsequent relationship with) on a person that is entirely possible- someone in their daily life.
