There are no positive connotations of the word obsession. An obsession is a compulsive preoccupation with something. Obsessions can often be debilitating or, at the very least, interfere with a person's ability to get along and interact with others. Excessive self-love or self-admiration is known as Narcissism and is a well-documented personality disorder. Narcissists don't necessarily have to be handsome or beautiful, however. This web site has many well-developed answers regarding narcissism. But you also asked whether it is "wrong." That implies a moral issue or question. While pride and vanity are linked and known as one of the seven deadly sins, if a person suffers from a pathological psychological condition, it would be unfair to judge him or her as immoral. Yes, I do believe this person can be obsessed with their own looks. I've seen some young men who are always preening, working out, glancing in the mirror, posing and looking in the mirror and constantly aware of their looks and every move they make. I would call this an obsession.

Is it wrong to be naked in public?

It is only wrong to be nude in public in America because most people in this country don't want to see a naked body. In other countries public nudity is often no big deal but in America we have a strange dislike of the naked form. But the question here is 'Why is it wrong to be nude' and that is to vague. It is Not wrong to be nude in the privacy of your own home, anytime you want, but in public it's wrong only if society does not accept it. There is nothing wrong with the nude form but there are many who don't feel this way so it is wrong to be nude around others who have not expressly accepted your nudism. Nudists on the other hand, accept other people being nude around them and when in the company of nudists it is perfectly acceptable, and Not wrong. Nudists believe that our naked bodies are an amazing creation that god gave us and that to consider a nude body to be 'wrong' is illogical even from a religious point of view. How can we believe that a naked body is wrong when god created us in his image? Our bodies are one of the most amazing things god created. Nudity in itself is just nudity and is not lewd unless you do something lewd, and this applies to naked bodies, or clothed. So whether being nude is 'wrong' or not is a really a matter of opinion but many feel it is Not wrong.
