Addicted

​When you google “Types of Addictions” you will land on a page which will tell you all about alcohol addiction, drug addiction, prescription addiction, etc but it will not list a very important addiction which people accept way lesser than all the above addictions and that is- people addiction and it is much more prevalent than you ever thought.

This addiction, though may be connected to love by most people, is not connected to it. It’s just a very unhealthy form of “love” as you might coin it. It might take the curtain of love but it mostly can be with a person who is not even in love with you or you might not be in a relationship with them. You would just feel the constant need to be with them even when at the back of your mind you know there is nothing in common between you or you guys are not “IT” or you really even know this is bad for you. And this addiction will normally lead to what the other addictions lead to- destruction, madness and emotional break down. We really do not talk about this enough. 

People can be drugs too. This addiction gives you the same high as any other drug and getting out of it will give the same withdrawal symptoms and the need to get back to it. The need to romanticise each and everything which was wrong, trying to see only the good things of all the bad and thinking of what if is pretty much the need to relapse and thinking of getting back to them even when they reject you.

Maybe, just maybe, having support groups like Alcoholics anonymous helps but everybody has their own way of dealing with this addiction. Maybe having rehabs for this might help but most people deal with this addiction alone choosing to keep it within for fear of judgement or neglect because this addiction is not talked about enough and it should be. All addicts need help and not all addiction is caused by intake.
