Philosopher Stefan Molyneux reviews the movie Obsession, where a shy music store clerk’s wish for unearned love turns his friend into a needy, controlling toddler-like dependent, exposing how childhood neglect fuels fantasy and resentment over real trust and maturity. He pushes earning confidence instead of chasing possession.
