"In Finn's case, he was fully dependent on Clarke and her feelings for him regardless of the situation around him. His every motivation revolved entirely around Clarke in some way or another. He was the same way with Raven, making grand gestures of love like the spacewalk. Unfortunately, it can also be considered that the massacre was yet another one of his grand gestures gone horribly awry."

Everyone needs a reason to live. They need either somebody or something to love in order to have a motivation to keep going. I believe Finn's motivation to keep living, even though their were cruel, frightening, and terrible things happening around him that were enough to make most people lose hope and not want to continue living in such a violent world, was Clarke. Maybe that's why most of the things he did revolved around her. He wanted to keep the person who he loved, the person who gave him hope, the person who was his motivation to keep living, alive. Once he lost Clarke, he lost everything, including his hope. Call it what you want but I see it more as desperation to keep Clarke safe and alive than obsession with her.
