Posted by Too Nice on 2/20/2007, 5:02 pm, in reply to "When I was younger" The article was from this website: brightertomorrow.net. I have a friend currently dealing with love addiction tendencies, that have been latent for a long time, if there is such a thing. Now she is single, after 22 years of marriage, and just ended her first post divorce r/s, she is dealing with these issues. She took the quiz there, and it's surprising how much of it fits. Some of it was a wake up call for me as well!!! Scary. I actually wondered how much of those early anxieties (similar to those outlined in the quiz) was from falling in love (and all the fear of the unknown/anxiety that brings), and how much of it is real love addiction tendencies?? They seem to overlap. Is it fair to say that if it is just normal insecurity from a new r/s, that has the r/s grows/strengthens, with time, the anxieties dissipate as well..... and they don't with love addiction?? What's the difference - anyone?? Any thoughts???
If you were really a NAR, you would only be interested in getting your needs met. NARS don't put themselves in others shoes, or think about how it would effect someone else. They lack compassion and they rarely change. Maybe what you are thinking of is the Narcissistic Love Addict from the article posted earlier today???. I've heard of that before and that they were called "arrogant doormats". Either way Annie, self exploration is good, and helps you determine what you need to focus on, deal with as part of getting emotionally healthy.
