I believe that the difference between adoration and obsession is purely subjective, and is usually taken from the perspective of the person who is being adored / obsessed about.
That... Actually made a lot of sense. I applaud your scholarly ways, fine sir.
How can you tell if someone adores you or are obsessed with you?
Is obsession destructive?
Discuss.
EDIT: Don't mention abut my sig.
Generally, there's a negative connotation associated with "obsession". I'd say they're cut of the same cloth, but to different degrees.
I think not. Obsession is fixation. Adoration is love, I think.
For example, I am obsessed with the song Catgroove by Parov Stelar, and I adore my dog.
That... Actually made a lot of sense. I applaud your scholarly ways, fine sir.
