Is it normal to be this obsessive with something?

A couple of my friends and I watch/read things all the time and get attached way too quickly and it keeps getting worse. I was over at my friends house the other day and we're reading this book series that's really painful. So i walked in the door and the first thing we did was start talking about the books and it got to thw point where we started screaming bloody murder, throwing things and shaking violently. my room is so covered in posters its ridiculous. My phone is also covered with anime and book characters, even my keyboard has a picture of a charactwr on it. I have 3000 pictures on my phone just of anime, tv or book related things and my friends and i are constantly screaming about it. This morning i was throwing my book around the room, screaming and making demon noises. A few weeks ago we collapsed in my friends front yard and started screaming. It gets worse every week. Is this normal?

    I've said it once and I'll say it again: I hate this fucking anime bullshit. This whole nerd culture is perpetuated by the people in power in order to distract and marginalize people who would otherwise be potentially intelligent enough to affect change on the status quo.

      Sounds vaguely like a conspiracy theory. I always thought the purpose of nerd culture, if we're looking at it from an economic/political standpoint, was to make money.
      Why hate anime though? Most people are just looking for an easy way to have fun, and some even just need something to pour their creative talents into.

        I know nothing about anime and OP's emphasis seemed to be on books and posters, but the obsessiveness of him and his friends doesn't sound like "just fun" to me, nor does it sound creative, merely mindless and potentially violent

      Im confused, why do you hate anime? You're being rude about something other people enjoy for pretty much no reason.

        Yeah, maybe I'm being a little too uptight.

    You're feeding off each other's fetishes, and it sounds like you can't control it. Separate for a while and find other interests before you hurt someone or each other.

        It'd be the best fuck you'll ever have. Merry Christmas to you too.

        I'm not familiar with that but it doesn't sound very healthy to be so obsessed with anything, in fact it sounds downright unhealthy and you know it

        I meant the obsessiveness and violent behaviour
