State of Disturbia

I can't stay away from the noise. I am attracted like moth to the clamor and din or other people's lives. Injecting myself into their situations as if I know them or care about them or feel for them. Not an uncommon occurence. But a psychological misstep if you take the extra step and believe that your injection is real. You clearly have to separate your prurient interest from morphing into obsessive disorder bordering on psychosis. When your life revolves around what happens in other people's lives on a television show or a radio program or a sporting event, you need to re-evaluate your situation. If you are capable.
