Best Answer

It can be both, but it would be primarily intrusive. Intrusive basically means unwanted or disruptive. They force their way into your mind. Irrational would be stuff that doesn't make sense or is emotionally driven. Paranoia would be an example of irrational thoughts. So an obsession over a certain person or set of ideas could also be irrational.
