What causes some people to be emotionally obsessed with others?

When we look at someone, we see in that person what we want to see. This is also the reason why most of the time we see the qualities and ignore the defects, even if someone else warns us about the defects, we see what we want to see. Maybe you interacted with that person, maybe not, but in your mind many more things happen than in reality. Certainly, you see things that are not there for a…
