If the idea of being in a relationship takes preference over the partner then it’s time for some self introspection
Writer-actor Ben Stein had once said, “Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows.” A statement like this is enough to signify the importance of a relationship for one’s existence.
Being in a positive relationship with the special someone is of prime significance. But is being absolutely dependent on this relationship healthy? The problem crops when the idea of being in a relationship takes preference over the partner. This is the situation when a person gets into the problem of being addicted to a relationship.
Insecurity kills
According to Dr Shalini Anant, psychologist, VIMHANS, “Some people feel insecure unless they are into a relationship. They always have a craving to be with someone who they can depend on. But there should be other healthy reasons to be associated with someone.” She further adds, “This pattern is unhealthy and can cause distress.”
Dr John Victor, psychologist, VIMHANS, too, echoes the same sentiments and goes on to add, “Such people can never be able to have a stable relationship. There is also a sense of emptiness among them. In extreme cases it can lead to depression and other mental/emotional disorders.”
Explaining the reasons behind his problem, Shalini informs “People who lack an anchor in their lives and are emotionally unstable tend to be more prone to this pattern.” An unhealthy relationship with parents or a traumatic childhood, too can lead this kind of addiction informs John.
Towards solution
First of all, such people should give some time to understand the need and importance of being in a relationship. And for that the support of family and friends is crucial. “There is no short cut to it. The person should himself/herself try to control the urge to be with someone all the time,” says Dr John.
In some extreme cases, seeking professional help is the best option.“A counsellor can help the person develop a different and individualistic attitude towards his/her life. Moreover, a professional will look at the pattern without being biased,” concludes Dr Shalini.
