The Dangers of Love Addiction

103 6
This will probably come as no surprise to you, but if you are not yet aware of this, then you should know that getting over a break-up is never an easy task.
However, if you feel that no one loves you now that you have been dumped by someone whom you thought was "the one" then you really need to get over these feelings quickly before they result in any self-destructive urges on your part.
First of all, let us debunk the myth of "the one.
" Basically, someone who believes in "the one" thinks that there is this one special person in the world that they are destined to fall in love with.
There are many different names that people might call "the one," such as soulmate or something similar, but it all boils down to this belief in "one true love," which you may have come across in many a Disney-esque fairtytale from your childhood days.
The truth is that this media-manufactured myth often becomes so deeply embedded in a normal person's psyche that many people today unknowingly take this dangerous myth as the truth.
The reality is that "the one" has no actual basis on objective reality as simple observation would tell you that you can fall in love with multiple people throughout your lifetime as long as you do not subscribe to this myth.
The interesting thing about the feeling called "love" is that people who have been in love with someone for a long period of time, can actually become a "love addict.
" A love addict is someone who is addicted to the feelings of love that one experiences when in a romantic relationship.
Once a person becomes addicted to love, he will have a strong tendency to seek out a romantic relationship whenever he is not in one already all to try and experience the feeling of love.
This can cause him to hastily enter into one doomed relationship after another without considering his basic compatibility with the other person.
What is happening in the mind of a love addict is that his subconscious mind is constantly causing him to fall in love with one person after another and tricking him into believing that this person is "the one.
" The fact of the matter however, is that the subconscious mind is simply trying to fulfill the individual's unmet need to feel loved.
This bit of information on "the one" is extremely useful if you want to get over a break-up and you find that you just cannot forget about your ex.
The truth is that you might not really be missing your ex, but the feelings of love that your ex once gave you.
In fact, these feelings could become so pronounced if you continue to nurture them that pretty soon, you might find yourself worrying that no one can love you including your parents, friends, relatives and even your own pet, if you have any.
Once you start feeling this way, then it is a sure sign that you might be turning into a love addict.
How do I address this? Ask yourself the following questions:
  • Why do I feel so lonely?
  • Do I have good relationships with my friends and family?
  • Do my close friends and family really not love me?
  • What is causing me to feel unloved?
By directly addressing these personal issues which most likely have been triggered by your recent break-up, you will be able to see objective reality with a much clearer vision and you will be able to directly undress the true underlying causes of your feelings of loneliness and isolation.
If the depression has already taken root and you do not believe that you can overcome it on your own however, it would be best to seek professional help from a therapist.
