Love addiction is the believe that you can't be fully happy or fulfilled without the approval of the person of the opposite s*x.
Signs of Love Addiction
People who struggle with love addiction may idolize their love interest and pursue relationships for the sake of the honeymoon phase or become very clingy and overly dependent on their partner.
Needing to be in love.
Putting the romantic partner on a pedestal.
Obsessing over romantic interest.
Experiencing cravings, withdrawals, euphoria, and dependency on their partner.
Needing to fall in love often.
Seeking emotional comfort from a partner to the point of unrequited love.
An inability to be alone.
The causes of love addiction are rooted in childhood trauma. Individuals lacking self-esteem or who had less-than-nurturing childhoods may grow up looking for constant reassurance from others. Relationship addicts also tend to enjoy the feeling of excitement that being “in love” brings.
