Post Please define the Difference

Can somebody define the difference between Obsession and Possessiveness? I'm really confused between these two terms..

Obsession is the morbid persistence of an idea in one's mind widout his will or thinking bout a particular thing alwayz i.e even if he tries not to think bout it hez helpless & Possessiveness means unwilling 2 share wat one has wid others

for example:lyk if u alwayz think of internet where ever u r & spending abt 8-10 hrs on it...this shows dat u r obsessed bout Internet {I hope m not making u more confused...}


If u hate ur near & dear ones talking wid ur frnds or being too frndly wid neone else...it meanz u r Possessive
