Passion is something you really want or really like or really want to achieve / do

Obsession is something you over do and talk about non stop.

Passion is something you love. Obsession is something you love too much..............
Passion is cleaning your house. Obsession is cleaning it all the time...........
Passion is enjoying a hobby. Obsession is letting it take over your life to the detriment of yourself and others.

I think a passion is something like for me it'd be reading or writing :)
And an obsession is something like a game, that you get addicted to. :)

I think it's pretty clear now haha.

Passion is a feeling. When your passionate for soemthing or someone, you genuinely feel good & strongly about it. For example, if you are very passionate about a certain thing, you will defend it at all costs. It is something you love, you want, you may even live for.

Obsession is become quite a negatvie thing, although it can be very harmless. You may be obsessed with something like a game, you play it a lot. This could quickly turn into an addiction, something you cannot live without. I think addicition and obsession are two different things.

This sums it up for me. My personal examples would be football for a passion because I love it and it is very important to me, but I wouldn't be able to name every player of every club or any statistics so I wouldn't be considered as obsessed. However back in the day, Habbo was probably an obsession because it was undoubtedly the thing I spent most time with outside of school. I had no personal emotions or feelings about it, it was just a game which I played for fun, but played a lot and knew everything about. :L
