What can you do to decrease the bad side affects to addictive personality?

I used to be a VERY addictive person when it came to guys. If i knew a guy liked me I pretty much became obsessed with him until it would get to a point where I turned him liking me into him becoming completely turned off by my clinginess and I would of course push EVERY guy away from me due to this. The way I got over this addiction was by taking a step back and realizing that I had a fear of people in my life up and leaving me. I became obsessive and addictive because I believed that If I held on as hard as I could they can’t leave.. but in the end well they always did. A light bulb went off in my head when I finally realized how much this fear consumed my life and I said to myself. “things have got to change” :) so for me it was realization and the will and motivation to change my thinking that led me to where I am today.. as happy as a clam.. lol :) now i don’t know what kind of addiction we are talking about here but I really hope I have helped.

I’m still sticking to there is no such thing. And as for the side effects, there’s no such thing as a side effect to a personality disorder (if it was a personality disorder). There is simply maladaptive behavior as a result of the maladaptive personality. So you work on modifying the behaviors. Preferably with a therapist.

Well u have one of my addictive traits, I thought I was reading something I wrot when I read wat u wrote, I have others to, like o.c.d. to go along with it so that doesn’t make it any better
