THE OBSESSIONAL NEUROTIC IS THE is the person who makes a wager on the Other. Saira trying to trick me into giving her free lessons.

The stereotypical obsessive-compulsive, reciting to himself endlessly, is an extreme example of the structure. Kenta and his baths. Most obsessives are somewhat more subtle.

They are interested in boxing, and martial arts. If someone likes cracking jokes, they are probably obsessive. That is because neurotics are ruled by repression.

In Indian cosmology, people of this kind may be stuck in the Solar Plexus stage of development.

The obsessional neurotic feels like he is being shit out all the time. The women are trapped in a pre-genital, anal/sadistic phase of sexual development. They have been traumatized by some early sexual experience which overwhelmed them.

Neurotic women could be secretive, or suspicious of social media.

In mathematical terms, they can portrayed as a barred A. Barred, because they are never where they seem to designate themselves. For example, Ray might say: "I am an usher, but that is my day-job... I am really a scriptwriter."

Inhibition is a key factor in Obsession. Actually, it can be said that there are three factors: inhibitions, compulsions, and symptoms.

The obsessive runs away when he is about the achieve his or her dreams. Could this be why Crystal Meth left Japan?Indeed, why Kellie left Japan just before my arrival?

Another example: Ken the courtesy bus driver, always rushing around, complaining about his job, or bitching about passengers. Compulsive talkers who fill the silence with their babble... denying the reality of the hole that exists inside them.

The obsessive neurotic also tries to cheat death, or indeed, cheat life in favour of death. Casey Anthony killed her daughter, so that she could join her in death.

They are obsessed with the idea of winners and losers.

When the Kelstar's dog chooses to sit in my lap instead of hers, she tries to preempt any proud boasting on my part by turning my victory into a defeat. "You need healing," she says (since her dog is a "therapy dog"). She never paused to consider that I might not like dogs, and therefore don't like when they sit on me.

In speech, the neurotic is he who "wants to be the marvel that dazzles us." However, they refuse to use the metaphor of love. Popagandhi's love stories, which have the element of competition.

"She went back out to the lawn to give you another cigarette. And a bourbon. Woodford Reserve. So good, so smooth, all 72% corn, 18% rye and 10% malt. There was 10% of her that paused and said, this is a very good idea. There was 18% of you that stopped for a second and thought, what is going on?"

Hoarding is obsessive behaviour (Jim in Japan!) In general, neurotics need a ritual... such as Elisabeth and her foreign coins.

Obsessive compulsions have the pattern of a myth to them.

In psychoanalysis, a hysterical structure can be thought of as a triangular drama involving the partner – the subject’s ego makes an identification with a third party as a way of asking the question about the nature of the partner’s desire. But, in Lacan’s view, obsession presents a doubling of this partner rather than a triangulation.

Brenton Tarrant: “Who are you?” he asks himself, suggesting an inner voice in need of reassurance and clarity. “Just an ordinary White man, 28 years old. Born in Australia to a working class, low-income family.” Stock: “Scottish, Irish and English”; a “regular childhood without any great issues.”

Perhaps my obsession in viewing Cath was mirrored by her obsession to display herself to me. When I saw her by chance at Cremorne in 2012, that was a mutual manifestation of destiny!

The Obsessional question is: "Am I alive or dead?" They feel guilty about being alive, and feel like they need to "give something back"... such as a ritual. They may feel guilty on their birthdays. They may become vegetarians. Ben seems to be guilty about having "won" the Huntington's test, and feels that he may have increased the risks for Michael and I.

In Ulya's case: obsessively researching the meaning of words, the history of words (etymology). She needs to check that the words are correct. Other students might want to know how many words they need to learn in order to pass a test.

They are pedantic. S2/S1=a (the production of the Knowing Other is their fantasy!) Dennis always has to be right.

Obsessional neurosis consists not only of control but also symptoms which signal the failure of control (Dennis getting busted by the cops, again and again!)

Kellie and her panic attacks... an example of her obsessional neurosis! Chris and his meltdowns.

Kellie always talks of leaving the Earth. Does she feel guilty about being here? Or does she want the whole world to end?

The obsessional woman wants to be equal to a man in order not to be a woman. In this way, she doesn't need to be herself. By seducing women sexually, she can annul them, and avoid the possibility of a true encounter with their femininity.

How would seduce an obsessive woman (such as Popaghandi, such as Alison T?) "For Lacan, the obsessional wants a master who does not desire, unlike the hysteric who desires a master that is found wanting."

"We like to think of “getting death out of the picture”, so we need never worry about dying. Think of it as a lifetime so long that, in practice, you just don’t worry about its limits. But don’t think about eternity – the very idea is full of paradoxes..."

Religion and Obsession have much in common!

"Lovers like us dear are born to die
"If they don't find us what will we do?
"I guess we'll make love under the cherry moon
"I'll die in your arms under the cherry moon..."
