Love Addiction: How It Hurts People

Have you ever felt addicted to love?

Love addiction is a common practice of engaging in dysfunctional or impulsive behavior. It develops when you begin to feel high levels of attachment, craving, and dependency on another person.

The addictive nature of love means that it can be dangerous to the individual who practices it, as well as those around them.

Many are in its clutches, struggling to break free of its grip and finding themselves unable to stop thinking about their obsession.

However, when you’re dealing with love addiction, you need to know that it is a problem that can be treated.

It is important to recognize the warning signs of love addiction so that you can make it stop hurting yourself.

Here’s all you need to know about it:

What is love addiction?

Love addiction is a term used to describe a person who feels compelled to seek out love in all its forms. This compulsion can be seen in people’s obsession with finding their soul mate, the same way that some people pursue fame and money.

Love addiction is a pattern of thought and behavior that can seriously impact a person’s life. People with love addiction are sure their partner will never leave them for another person.

The person will go to great lengths to keep the relationship, feeling it is worth sacrificing anything and everything else in their lives to have what they desire.

People with love addiction often become involved in toxic relationships even when they know it’s not healthy because their brain chemistry tells them to “love hard” and “fix” their partners.

Types Of Love Addiction

1. Primary Love Addiction

People with primary love addictions feel drawn to someone they’re not sure they could live without.

They’re very attracted to the idea of being with another person, but they don’t feel ready for commitment yet.

They may be afraid of making the wrong choice or of losing the person they’re so attracted to if they don’t commit soon enough.

2. Secondary Love Addiction

Secondary love addiction may also be referred to as “unrequited love.” This type of love typically arises when a person is not getting the attention they desire from their lover.

Secondary love can be incredibly intense where at one point in time, even though it might be unhealthy, one feels like they cannot pass on the feeling without experiencing extreme anxiety, desperation, depression, and other mental anguish.
