I'm not obsessed, you are!

[MistyGray]

AIBU to be utterly fed up with everyone saying they’re “obsessed” with absolutely everything?

Is it just me? Every time I go on social media someone is “obsessed” with their new mug, a mascara, a sandwich, a cardigan, their own dog (fair enough), or a completely average TV show. It feels like the word has lost all meaning.

I know it’s harmless but it sets my teeth on edge. You cannot actually be obsessed with a £4 candle from Tesco, Karen.

AIBU to find this overuse of “obsessed” really grating, or do I just need to mute half the internet and move on?

Drives me nuts!!! One woman on IG a last week was OBSESSED with…….wait for it…………the autumn leaves. FFS a shoot me now.

😂😂

It’s so tedious isn’t it? Somebody started a thread on here this week to say they don’t understand the ‘obsession’ with Toby Carvery (in a snotty they’re all chavs that go there way). I don’t know anyone obsessed with a carvery it is an overused word said for drama.

Who’s Karen?

I agree, but please do try not to use the term 'Karen', to be derogatory towards women. It's tiresome.

Ah you had me until you used Karen as an insult, I thought we'd all grown out of that "shut up woman" thing now?

I couldn’t agree more.

Perhaps I’m odd, but I can’t understand people being obsessed with anything, don’t they get bored with it?

I’ve never been obsessed with anything in my adult life.

Im obsessed in an ocd way with checking the boiler. Being obsessed with autumn leaves would be preferable.

But Molly Maes "current obsession" is comfort/ fairy/ arial/ persil.😂

The only thing worse is people using the misogynistic term Karen @MistyGray

I remember some twat at work saying how her MIL was “obsessed with Eeyore”. I thought a grown woman having that sort of tacky shit everywhere? No thanks

Tbf my dog is obsessed with the ankle deep layer of crunchy leaves outside the caravan I'm staying in. She cries to go out, flings herself around, comes back in. Repeat 10 minutes later...

Another one who doesn't like the derogatory "Karen". I was enjoying your post up to that point.

Me neither, I think the enthusiasm runs out in adulthood.

Yeah you lost me with the Karen too..

When people use 'Karen' as an insult, I stop listening. Grow up already.

Maybe you're a little too obsessed with sicial media? Just stay off it

Oh my lord I cannot be doing with her or that advert!!
