Kristen, I wonder if you may not have ADD. You want to know what's going on with you & your mind/brain & you can't rest until you find as much as possible. It's almost like an obsession that won't let stop until you're thoroughly sick of the whole thing or found the answers you want.
I don't think you're obsessed about 'yourself' - more so the reasons for why you act, think, or feel as you do that you're trying to figure out. If all the answers were given to you, it made sense to you, & you could take actions to change what you wish to change, you'd probably be satisfied & stop asking.
When I want to learn about something I don't understand enough of, I can't do it by half measures. I work it to death. I read & read, ask questions, observe, & even dream about it. When I'm satisfied, I move on. It's normal for someone with ADD to get too single-minded over a project. We over-focus on what interests us at that time, sometimes to the exclusion of other things that might need looking after.
So ask yourself if you've ever done that with anything else before. If yes, it may just be the ADD making you act like this.
