Do you think its okay to be addicted to someone else - so bad that too much time apart and you get anxious cause you need your fix? Don't want to do anything without the other - you'd even work closely with them if your careers matched?

I used to think this was completely normal and healthy, and often confused it for love, back when I was unhappy and insecure.
I needed to feed off of the other person's presence in order to feel happy. I was a junkie for whoever I was obsessing with at the time.
Now, I know that it's extremely self-destructive and unhealthy.
It's great to have your partner on your mind throughout the day, or look forward to seeing one of your friends or a crush, but to the point of obsession and addiction, where it tears apart your rational thinking and affects your life/family/work/schooling, it's definitely not okay.
Obsession and/or addiction isn't good no matter what the object of your affections.
Great topic! =D

I'm glad you've realized this - there's a fine line with some between love and obsession.

It is okay to be attatched to someone not addicted. However if your addiction is not in any way harmful to you or anyone else then it is okay.

no,i don't think addiction of somebody is something good and positive.it's very uncomfortable for the person subject of the addiction.and can hurt you too.you can spend all the time with someone so is important don't grow such addiction that certainly will make you feel bad and ignored.no one can be all the time at your order.everyone has his own needs and wishes so noone can live just for satisfy another one.

well from my point of view i don't think its bad to be addicted to someone for any good reason..but yes the reason should be good..i mean good for you as well as the person you are addicted too..because this kind of addiction won't be lending you into troubles ..in the situation like you have portrayed i will call it dependence also and its not bad if you are dependent upon someone..but the thing is try to control yourself a bit if things are are not going smoothly as excess of anything can be bad too...and it depends upon your addiction as what is excess in that case....

iam sameer 18 years old and in my point of view working closely with those especially i hate its impossible beacuse we cant work properly ,our concentration might lost, we are disturbed, we think of him instead of working so i think it is too difficult to work with that person who i hate, if we are forsed to do work with him then i will live the job
