What makes a person obsess with what another person does with themselves?

I am just curious what gets another person to obsess over another person when it is a negative obsession. I mean it bothers that individual terribly. Like for instance my being Transgender. I get so many people get to bagging on me, yet not a single one has ever met me. And some will persist for days to weeks to months and even years stalking through the internet just to cry out how terrible it is that I am Transgender. What creates a person like that?

There are a number of factors. First, there's the fact that we humans are still a fairly primitive species playing with high-tech toys. Somebody comes along who's different, who doesn't play by the same rules as the local humans, and it gets confusing. That leads to fear. Fear leads to hate.

But what really leads to the obsession on the level that you've experienced (and I'm sorry you've experienced that) is when somebody is projecting. When someone is themselves unsure of their gender, sexual orientation, or whatever, they stuff that self-doubt deep inside, and it comes out as hatred of anybody who isn't afraid to be that way.

@LordShadowfire I think you are on to something. Thanks. Makes good sense. To me anyway. And thanks too for the empathy. Yeah its not easy being me. But I think everyone has it tough anymore. Being yourself, whatever that really is, is hard to do in this world because so many factors preventing it. What is the weirdest thing is all the factors so far have not been proven to be real. I mean there is nothing tangible, solid that can be held in the hand and looked at and analyzed. Its all make believe. Except for the knives and rocks, spit, bullets and bombs, poison gasses, hand cuffs and prisons and stuff like that. All that is pretty dang real. And lethal. Hardly any of it comes to any good either. War... Love on the other hand. A whole another enchilada of what is Love? But the simplified Love, even that can go a long ways to good things. Not to be confused with sex love. That can get a pimple or worse if you delve into the down sides of it. Thanks again. Cheers & Happy New Year!

@DarkHeaven The crappy internet here will hardly get the video to spin. I got a little of it. I heard the song part. Yeah, its pretty spot on aint it. Im going to see if my Spotify can get that song. I do Music. I might be able to get hold of the Artist and get some input there. Thank you.
