Is it possible to be addicted to someone?

Answer 1

yes, it is called "dependency".
but as any addiction, it is a choice.

Answer 2

I think so, yes. When I think of people who are addicted to people, I think of someone with fears of being alone or abandoned, someone who is insecure and needs to be validated by another person in order to feel good and depends on the other person for their sense of well-being. These are very destructive thoughts, which can lead to the needy person exhibiting classic addictive behaviors in regards to all things involving the other person.

Answer 3

Yes it certainly is Possible to be addicted to someone
It probably happens because Ur mind derives total satisfaction from this person for very many reasons.
This Person could be described as a perpetual Source of JOY

Answer 4

Co-dependency occurs when two people form a relationship with each other because neither feels that he or she can "stand alone." Neither person feels capable or self-reliant. It is as if two half parts are trying to make a whole. Both partners are seeking to become psychologically complete by binding the other partner to themselves. For example, a female partner may spend most of her attention and time assisting her lover in recovering from drug addiction. She feels a sense of purpose and may appear to be wonderfully self-sacrificing. However, she may also be avoiding her own unhappiness and personal issues -- like her fear of abandonment. Her partner may believe that he can't deal with his addiction without her. He vacillates between feeling grateful for her help and resentful for what he feels is her nagging and smothering behavior. Many co-dependent partners report feeling "let down," "taken advantage of," or "trapped" by their needy partner when they are really "trapped" by their own overwhelming neediness. The addicted partner is also using his complaints about the relationship to avoid dealing with his own neediness and addiction
