Does anyone else have obsessions about people?

Over the years I have had obsessions/intense crushes on people.
This happened through school a couple of times from the age of 9.
It also happened at university, and a few years ago when my youngest was a baby.
It is happening again now, but this time with a woman Confused.
I met her a couple of weeks ago through a work thing, we clicked as friends, and I immediately felt very comfortable with her.

I'm really confused.
Being diagnosed as ASD has thrown up other things that have been kept wrapped up over the years. Am I bi or just at a point in life where I'm not sure what's me and what's not?
When I was a teenager, I went through a phase of wondering if I wasn't entirely straight, and had /have some gender confusion as well. I'm wondering if this is something I've subconsciously suppressed.

Whilst I know nothing will happen here, and I know that this will pass in a few weeks/months, I'm wondering if anyone else can relate to this, or can give me some words of wisdom!

I did, I could become totally obsessed with some blokes, it was overwhelming and I was in some sort of trance. And then I would "wake up" suddenly and would profoundly dislike the guys and wonder what on earth possessed me. It hasn't happened in the last 15 years or so though.

I have never been obsessed with people I know personally however I do get obsessed with characters. If the character is from a film or a TV show then I will then get obsessed with the actor/actress who plays them.

I have also been obsessed/fixated on celebrities before.
