All Threads by Date  The psychology of obsessed fans - Can we
talk about this without mentioning names?  The new prancing pony
thread got me thinking about this odd phenomenon. I realize a
lot of these people are lonely females, though no doubt many are
male also. That said however, what makes a person completely
obsessed with a celeb, moreover a B or C-list celeb, which is
what DL seems to attract? Is it because some people are just so
physically attracted to a certain actor? Is it due to delusions?
Or perhaps they figure they have to assign themselves to
someone's team, so why not pick THIS ONE? I'm curious about what
would make a person, virtually speaking, be completely obsessed
with a stranger to the point of deconstructing their poses in
magazines and interview mannerisms on Internet discussion
forums, and apparently doing so 24/7. Is this done mostly by
people who don't work or have partners/families that keep them
busy? I would love to hear some theories on this and what drives
the people behind it.
