Hello fellow personalities...welcome to another addition of examining the beauty of different personalities. Today's specialty will show us how and why obsession can change out personalities almost instantaneously. Let's begin with an example that affects me personally deeply.
FIFA is a type of Soccer video game that I literally have extreme difficulty taking off my mind. Whenever I sit down to play it, I cannot or do not desire to stop for at least 4-5 hours. That is a very bad thing because it distracts me from my everyday life activities such as eating, drinking, working, driving, hanging out, or simply just relaxing. It pretty much takes over my life.
As a solution, I took the Playstation 3 out of my room and did not play the game for 5 weeks. During that time I was proud of myself but thinking about it constantly. My friends and family could not hear the end of the begging and complaining I did. It was an awful time for both parties. So finally earlier tonight I gave up and starting playing the game with one of my friends four over four hours. During that time it was absolutely great to be back playing my favorite game but afterwards I felt a deep regret and hint of disappointment. The reason being that I went so long without playing it but then again I was planning on playing it again some time soon anyways.
I thought that by taking it out of sight I would not think about it as much but it just made things worse. I would have these episodes of anger towards my friends and my heart just felt lost without it. I know it sounds pathetic but Soccer to me is a part of my life and the video game version takes up a huge portion.
I just hope that by bringing it back after five weeks I will be able to teach myself to play it less and less each day until I end up barely playing it at all so I can focus on the important aspects of my life and find other activities to take part in that are fun.
The point to this long and seemingly boring story is simple: Obsession causes personality changes in an instant. IN this game it was a video game that literally changed me by the minute when I was unable to play it. Taking something important away form someone does not and absolutely will not make them a better person based on my personal experience. I truly wish the best of luck to others who have a similar issue at hand.
Obsession is no joke and if anyone you know has one, please take the time out of your day and have a stern talk with him/her so they do not end up letting their obsession take over their life like mine did. This is all for today so until next time fellow personalities and I wish you the best of luck with any issue that arises in your lives.

Personality: Split or Normal?
My goal in life is to become a Sports Writer. While I write two different Sports blogs, I also decided to start one about something that says a lot about who I am. Personality is something that I do not think about a lot but it is something that people claim changes frequently with me. Of course I realize it here and there but not nearly as much as I should.
Thinking about it now reminds me that there are a countless number of apologies I gave to my friends and family members for flipping out at them over the smallest of things. Sometimes they had it coming but most of the time they did not deserve it at all.
If there is something that is bothering me, I tend to hold it in for a while. For example I could be mad at someone for something they did that angered me deeply but instead of confronting them directly, I lashed out at my friends which is absolutely not fair. AT the time I don't really care because it feels good to let the anger out but lashing out at friends is not the best way to keep them. I wish I could stay calm most of the time and confront the people that anger me instead of pointlessly accusing and degrading my friends/family.
Some have called it being bipolar but I call it having a split personality. I wonder how it is with other people around the world? Are they just as bad? Worse? Better? Can they control themselves in front of their loved ones? Who knows besides God and themselves? I can only hope and try that my future is bright personality wise.
A split personality is what I believe lies within my system. One day I am in a great mood and then when I go to work, I all of a sudden enter this dark stage where my mind and heart do not met eye to eye. Working is not supposed to always be fun but it is always good to attempt and make the best out of it. Letting the small things get to me is one of my biggest issues. If I can get past that, I know I could definetely become a better, calmer, and more fun person to be around. With that I leave you something to think about. Enjoy and until next time fellow personalities.
