Can love turn into an addiction..what is a person's addiction..and how can we avoid catching it?

Usually the word addiction is related to getting used to drugs or alcohol or other things such as sweets or chocolate... But you may be addicted to someone without knowing and this expression describes your state of holding on to someone at the expense of your interest and comfort yourself for fear of losing him, If you become addicted to a person in your life, as if you remained dependent on an artery that beats you, causing you to live, and if you leave it as if you cut this artery, then you have to face the problem to protect yourself.

What causes addiction to people:

Often the person is addicted to someone whose love for people is addictive, but each person is addicted to a period alone, and if he separates from him, he will search for another person who is addicted to him with the same intensity, due to psychological pain and loss of tenderness and a sense of safety in childhood, this causes a lack of confidence To the self, it is enough for a simple attention from a person to make a person who lacks tenderness in childhood addicted to you and makes you everything in his life.
We notice this situation, perhaps with a friend or a family member, but we often find it in the relationship between a woman and a man, especially in our Arab countries, where the woman feels that she is powerless and unable to do anything without the man and is completely dependent on him, which creates a feeling of fear and Loss If this man left her life, he is the source of her life completely.
The selfish person seeks to weaken the other party and makes him always in need of him and always makes himself the strongest so that he can control him, while the positive person seeks to be his partner strong and can rely on himself while standing by him to ease his burdens.

How do you face this problem:

Try to take care of yourself spiritually, physically, and healthily for your sake, not just to impress him.
Love yourself, admire it, and give it the right to be loved by others.
Make your relationships multiple and do not cut them off, meaning I have a friend who is enough from the world or I have a wife or husband. There is a family, neighbors, work, and hobbies of social relationships that maintain the balance of your personality, self-confidence and maturity in dealing.
Do not underestimate a bad behavior towards you as a kind of justification because of your love for him. If you do not respect yourself, no one will respect you, even those who are addicted. No one has the right to disturb your life. “You really have to yourself.”

Do not be afraid of losing it, for fear of losing something causes its definite loss.

Do not convince yourself that the other cannot live without you either, so that he is ready to sacrifice your happiness and comfort for him.

Every person in your life is a part of it, not your whole life. If one of you travels, you will miss part of the components of your full life, not everything you have.

Remember that songs, movies, and series talk about absolute love that does not exist in reality. It is not the same as your situation to drug yourself in.

Whenever you feel that you are weak in front of someone, repeat on your tongue, “Oh God, do not attach my heart except to you.”
