You can figure you are an addictive personality when WHATEVER you do interferes with your life and 'normalcy'. By that I mean, if you drink: Have you ever lost time from work because of it? Does it cause personal problems at home? Do you lie because of it? Do you spend too much time or money being preoccupied with it? What about if you do drugs? Ask yourself the same questions. Now what about if you gamble? What if you cheat on your spouse? What if you excercise, or work hard? What if you eat to access? ANYTHING we do can become a problem is we are addictive personalities. We just don't know when enough is enough, even if it's relationships, booze, drugs, religion, work, gambling... it doesn't matter to the addictive personality. I'd be willing to bet that many stalkers have addictive personality.. they just can't take NO for an answer.
So, in answer to your question, you will know you have addictive personality if whatever it is you are doing is interfering with what is considered normal for other people.

the key word is "addictive." Addiction is dependance on one or more things in order to function, and if u've ever watched someone try to quit smoking, u'll understand what i mean. Someone who has an addictive personality will try to get rid of one addiction, only to substitute it for another. Smokers who try to quit usually gain weight, bcuz nicotine is an appetite suppressant. Once the cigarettes are gone, the brain kicks in and says "great!! let's eat." the smoker may think that they are eating to keep their mind off smoking, but they are actually "substituting" one addiction for another. hope this helps

When you obsess about what it is you think you need or have to have. You can be addicted to people like relationships, just as easily as you can drugs and other things. Addictions are broken by retraining the mind.

I would think that would be when you have soooooo many persons wanting to be your friend that you find it all too overwhelming in the choosing.....(take a breath).... then you could safely say...you have an ADDICTIVE personality....
(and if you did have that for TRUE...You will be the most famous movie star in the world...or Princess....Lady Diana had an addictive personality, many many copied her in so many ways and still do)..........good luck.....(hope your Prince is just around the corner in your world)...

You spend the better part of your life addicted to various things.

There is no such a thing. It's something someone made up to excuse bad behaviour and to avoid taking responsibility for their own decisions.
