Addiction is often associated with a drug or stimulant. Another dimension of addiction is dependence on a person. If a person absolutely needs someone's presence in every aspect of his life in order to continue living, he may have a dependent personality! Considering life in general:
-

You may have the Dependent Personality Pattern.
In the dependent personality, the person has determined someone who is close to him/her and includes himself/herself in every aspect of life. Being dependent and constantly wanting to see and talk can cause the other person to distance themselves from the person, and this leaves you alone with the most feared thought: being alone. In the future, one may lose the person they are dependent on and face severe depression. The addicted person either dies or the addict tries every way to get away, so a new person is needed to connect.
The main cause of Dependent Personality disorder has been defined as unsatisfied emotions in childhood. The feeling of trust and autonomy, especially from the mother figure, needs to be satisfied. It is a period between the ages of 1 and 5, when a child's sense of self-confidence and self-sufficiency develop. This feeling is not unwittingly satisfied by parents or primary caregivers. The dependent personality pattern begins to form in this way and over time, cognitive beliefs and emotions develop. It begins to be supported by thoughts. The negative events of life and the psychological and material support received from the environment nourish the addicted personality.
