IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE ADDICTED TO A PERSON ?

It’s all about thoughts. The more you think about someone, the more likely you are to become addicted—not to the person, but to the thoughts about them. The problem begins when you keep wondering why things are happening a certain way: Why isn’t he talking to me? Why is he suddenly being close or distant? Why is he emotional now, or why wasn’t he before? When your mind keeps revolving around a person like that, it’s not the person you’re addicted to, but the constant thinking. That’s the real trap.
Now, suppose he stops talking to you—what happens? Often, it’s not love that troubles you; it’s ego. Questions arise: Why did he stop talking to me? Did he find someone better than me? Am I not good enough? These thoughts stem from insecurity and low self-worth. It’s more about ego than emotion. Relationships are mutual—if you give love, you’ll likely receive it. If you stop, they may stop too. But sometimes people don’t stop, not because of love, but because their ego is hurt. The question “Why did he stop?” keeps them from moving on. This ego makes them cling to the past.
Consider the case of someone you were deeply attached to who passes away. You’ll naturally be upset for a while, but eventually you accept the reality and move on—maybe even connect with someone else. But some people stay stuck in those memories. They continue to suffer, and it affects their mental health. These individuals are not emotionally balanced. Normally, people grieve, accept, and then forget with time. That’s healthy.
So what’s the solution? If you want to avoid being emotionally addicted to someone, you need distance—“Out of sight, out of mind” truly works. And the core of it all is your thoughts. Whenever thoughts about that person arise, don’t develop them. Let them pass. The more you resist engaging, the more they’ll fade. Stay focused on the present moment. Make that a habit throughout your life. Acceptance is the key to emotional freedom.
