Some of these blog-posts are 'lists of items in a topic' (e.g. different foods under "food," different apples under "apple," different religions under "religion)—if I manage to list all the items under a word, does that mean I'm Obsessed with that word's items? or Compulsed? (I think the word there is "compelled (to complete the compilation of that category's collection of ... something alliterative that means 'items' 😏")?
The word “Obsessed” is built on “Against + to |Sit” (as the original use of the word 'Obsess' referred to a Military Siege, then to a Haunted area (house, graveyard), and then applied to a Psychological sense of 'one's Brain being 'lain siege' to- or 'haunted' by-a |Fascination).
The word "Compulsed (properly 'Compelled' or 'Compulsive,' but patterning-after 'Obsessed')" is built on "With, Together + to Drive (|Thrust, Strike)"  (Psychology's "|Acting Instantly on an |Impulse to Behave in a Certain Way").
    My Obsessions and/or Compulsions
  • People who you'd swear are 'the same person'
  • Catholicism's Seven Sacraments
  • Nutrition - maybe you'd think, "But that's important, doesn't it only count as an obsession if you focus on it when it's not important?" Maybe; but I'm focusing on something 'unimportant' about it (etymologies of the names of its objects)
  • Drugs
  • Buddhism - I know this might be better as 'an entry on my Religion Obsession, but a) (similar to what JP says at the beginning of the video posted there) Buddhism is a way of thinking that's evolved past religion & b) "all religions are Buddhism" (a quote from one of its many teachings about itself).
  • Dating (a.k.a. Courting, Romance, etc) Communities - Looking-up my Religion entry, I realized that I don't actually list Religions there; but I do list them as 'dating-site categories.' Reminds me how The Bible tells Christians to "be not unequally yoked with unbelievers" (metaphor referring to the bar used to hook a luggage-trailer to beasts-of-burden); which means 'once the weight of your sinful-nature has been removed by Jesus, don't take on the sinful-nature of an unbeliever,' but which many Protestant Christians take to mean 'don't marry someone from a church you don't understand (i.e. who therefore serves God in a way that doesn't work with the way you serve God).'




It would surprise me if there's not a 'Chuck Todd is Obsessed With ...'-
playlist on YouTube (or on some other platform that offers 
broadcasters the opportunity to share their video-content online)
