Any books on obsession?
I am a young man obsessed with another young man. It is not sexual so much as it is that I envy his life and person. I feel as if he is an upgraded version of myself. More attractive, more confident, esteemed by his colleagues, more knowledgeable, better read, supportive family. I realize this is not /adv/ but for some reason I trust you more with this. I know it's been said we shouldn't compare ourselves with others, at least to this extent, but I can't shake the feeling that he represents an ideal I am unable to ever attain. I feel so damaged and lesser. I want to have love for myself and others, but I just feel so quiet and melancholic and insulated. I live in shame.

You aren't crazy for this. It's natural and it happens sometimes. What you need to do is to try to find yourself and better that. The greatest book on Obsession is Moby Dick.
