"Obsessional does not necessarily mean sexual obsession, not even obsession for this, or for that in particular; to be an obsessional means to find oneself caught in a mechanism, in a trap increasingly demanding and endless"

- Jacques Lacan

About this Quote

Jacques Lacan's quote is a tip that obsessional behavior is not necessarily related to sexual fascination. Rather, it is a state of being captured in a nonstop cycle of needs and expectations. This cycle can be associated with any variety of things, such as work, relationships, and even one's own ideas. The obsessional person is unable to break devoid of this cycle, and rather finds themselves stuck in a loop of their own making. This can cause feelings of stress and anxiety, depression, and even despair. It is very important to acknowledge the signs of obsessional habits and to seek assistance if needed. With the right support, it is possible to break devoid of the cycle and to live a more satisfying life.
