Addicted to the Feeling, Not the Person

Love is a tricky thing. Sometimes, we think we’re in love with a person, but in reality, we’re just addicted to the way they make us feel. It’s not always about the person themselves it’s about their energy, their presence, the way they light up a room, or the way they bring a temporary sense of happiness.

Some people become addicted to a person’s taste, their aura, their scent, their very being. It’s intoxicating. It’s comforting. But is it real love? Or just an attachment to the feeling they provide?

The truth is, we can mistake emotional dependence for love. We hold on to people not because they’re right for us, but because they make us feel alive, seen, or understood at least for a moment. And when that moment fades, we chase it like a high, ignoring whether the relationship is actually healthy, fulfilling, or even meant to last.

But love isn’t supposed to be an addiction. It’s not supposed to feel like withdrawal when they’re gone. Real love is about connection, not just comfort. It’s about seeing a person for who they truly are, flaws and all, and choosing them not just the way they make you feel.

So, ask yourself: Do you love the person? Or do you love the way they make you feel? Because one is temporary, and the other is real. And knowing the difference can save you from holding on to something that was never meant to last.
