Some of Sheldon's obsessions are easier to understand. (I can't believe how many gifs,clips,manips, there are out there.)
But others are more paradoxical. He is obsessed by his health. He is a hypochondriac, and seems to think each virus will lead to his death. But he also revels in being ill. Something that I don't enjoy is how childish Sheldon acts when his mother visits. I realise now that he just didn't get enough good mothering as a child, and is always tying to redeem more. He must have had some serious illness as a child, and revelled in the attention , which he tries to recreate with whomever, now he is an adult!
