Ever notice how you run across people in your life that seem to be obsessed with you? I mean, no matter what you do, where you go, or even the people you associate yourself with, there they are. Trust me, we know the feeling. Seems like these people (whom will remain anonymous) are obsessed with everything we do. Everywhere we turn, there they are. Whether it is at church, with family, or even the circle of friends we have…they find a way to involve themselves. My mother tells me it is a “form of flattery” – I say admire us less. It’s not that we don’t like them - it’s just that sometimes you would like some privacy and a life of your own.
Makes you wonder if your life is just that interesting … or they just don't have a life. Guess we’ll never know, and I guess we should just enjoy life and hope some day they will find something more interesting than our lives.
Hope your life is “obsession” FREE!

Obsession

Yes. I have had this happen. In Fort Worth there was a young seminary wife who copied everything I did. She wore her hair like I did, she would buy clothes like I bought, and on and on. At first I thought it was amusing. Then I began to feel scrutinized and copied, which I was. I finally made peace with it and thought "what the heck." Truth be known, what she did just showed me her insecurity and it certainly didn't spark a friendship or relationship. It made me leery of her, and I kept my distance. In these my later years I do think it's a form of flattery. The person who copies must admire the one being copied. Guess that's the positive way to look at it.
Sorry for the long comment. Stirred memories. MB
