    - going to Ajax (Amsterdam) every 2 weeks
    - going out every 2 weeks on saturdaynight
    - going to a bar one night a week with friends
    - watching movies and shows

    This is my regular life style. Ofcourse there are parties and other occassions but this is normally what I do

    Next topic: have you ever been obsessed with something/someone? If yes, how did it show/did you experience it.

    2nd question; how did it stop (or didn't if you still suffer from it).

    To be clear it can be severe/serious as well as 'small things' that don't really affect your life in a bad way.

    Being a perfectionist and not giving a s--- is kind of contradicting tbh, interesting.

    I am kind of a control freak sometimes but not up to the point that I don't trust others to do something at all. Same goes for perfectionism. If I do something I want to do it 100% right lol. But it never really bothered me.

    In some cases there are things happening in their life people don't have control over, so they focus/obsess over small things they can control. Up to the point that it seems like overcompensating. You don't have to be a perfectionist about things that matter of course, but that is a possibility.

    Obsessed with football—playing it & watching it. Started when I was around 6 years old and loved it ever since. I guess you could say my life kinda revolves around it. Playing it every chance I can; although I haven’t played too much recently due to other commitments but I plan on playing a lot over summer once I’ve graduated

    Also a recent small obsession, and a very random one was figuring out how to solve a Rubik’s cube. Someone told me how hard it is to learn which I doubted, so I got curious & bought one & basically obsessively practiced the algorithms for a couple of days to the point where I could solve any cube in under a minute lol

    Idk I have random short bursts of obsessing over certain things like Xbox games, music, and even learning the keyboard.

    A somewhat obsessive personality can be really great if harnessed well but can also be really detrimental. I definitely have some sort of obsessive/addictive personality but mostly it’s been beneficial to me

    The most important thing is, if you feel good about it and it doesn't bother you in any way.

    The obsessions you mentiomed are all ones you're aware of and in some way you 'chose' yourself which is not bad at all.

    Standing behind something 100% like your football career or supporting your club is also not bad as long as it doesn't affect your health/surroundings in a negative way.

    Like you said, if it takes over your life in a way that you can't live a normal life (or can't do certain everyday things you want to) it can be a bad thing. But from what I read your dealing with it in a good way and it doesn't bother your daily routines.

    Been obsessed with Surfing and Rap music for years, definitely 2 dominant things in my life which helped me get through a lot of hard times. When on land I'm constantly thinking about surfing. While normal people see a fence or a tree, I imagine it as wave and think how I would be surfing it lmao. Also constantly listening to rap, checking up on new artists, listen to like atleast 3 albums a day. really cant imagine life with out these 2 things.
