Summary

We all have hobbies and interests that bring us joy, from following favorite celebrities to collecting unique items or mastering a craft. Sometimes, these passions can border on obsession. While it's fulfilling to become an expert on something, obsession can spiral into a dangerous fixation and can sometimes go too far. When admiration turns into a fatal fixation, it’s horrifying to learn what you might be willing to do for it, or will it eventually consume you.
