Impossible Challenge Obsession: Fixation on Achieving Physically Unattainable Goals

This concept describes a psychological pattern where individuals become consumed with the desire to conquer tasks or challenges that are objectively impossible based on physical, scientific, or logical constraints. They view these endeavors as tests of their uniqueness or superiority, often disregarding practical goals or achievable challenges.

2. Disregard for Realistic Challenges: Ignoring achievable tasks in favor of impossible ones.
