9 Traits Of A Relationship Junkie

We all have the tendency to overindulge every once in a while some people target their sweet tooth or their love for shopping while others channel it into relationships. So if too much of anything is bad for you and most of the time we can recognise patterns of addictive behaviour – would you be able to recognise if you were a relationship junkie? You are not covered with sweet wrappings and licking a smear of chocolate from the corner of your mouth or noticing that you deciding to treat yourself a little more often than usual has put a dent in your bank account…so how would you know? We have rounded up nine relationship junkie traits to help you find out:

You jump from relationship to relationship

You cannot remember the last time you were truly single because even when you were single you were never really single. There is always someone hovering in the background making you never short of options and you like it that way.

 You are never really satisfied in your relationships

The minute things become serious and the honeymoon period of the relationship begins to wear off you suddenly feel unsettled, like something is wrong, things such as the first big argument cause the rose tinted shades you like to float around in your relationship with on to dissolve. When the reality of being in a relationship hits you it hits you hard…it almost winds you leaving you with a lot of doubts, uncertainty and seeking the quickest exit route.

You remain friends with a lot of your exes

You find yourself in many cyclical relationships or having light flings with your exes or attempting to become friends. I say attempt because the friendship usually harbours a thick amount of sexual tension – which you enjoy because of the drama and excitement it creates. You are very good at physically leaving relationships but you have a problem with letting people go emotionally. Once some time has passed maybe you have started dating other people – maybe not – you find your interest in your exes that you are on friendly terms with peaking once more making you question if this new platonic nature of your relationship with your ex means more and you start considering whether you have made a mistake.

You can’t handle being single

You have the tendency to stay in toxic relationships and are co-dependent because you would rather be in a relationship than to be alone. You date aimlessly as you are seeking validation from being with someone – anyone rather than dating with a purpose something that you can learn to do with Oloni as your relationship coach.

 You validate your worth by the amount of guys you attract

You feed off of compliments the amount of male attention you receive equates to how attractive you feel and you bask in this attention and feel the need to seek more by fishing for compliments and paying more attention to men who take the bait not necessarily because you like them but because they like you.

You are emotionally impulsive

If there is someone you want the person will be yours even if you have to tread on someone’s toes or accidently-on-purpose wreck a home. Are you selfish when it comes to matters of the heart? A little. But it’s only because you are highly emotional and form your decisions based off of your emotions.

You find yourself in love-triangles, squares and hexagons

Romantic relationships with you can get messy sometimes if more than one person has captured your heart. However you love the drama and the attention feeds your ego compensating for the emotional strain these complicated situations can cause.

 You always have a back up

What he won’t do someone else will, right? Never one to be on your own for too long there is always another guy – whether you have genuine feelings for them or not – if your current partner is not giving you the attention you need, you lose interest and it’s on to the next one.

You are a relationship chameleon

You are not one to discriminate – you find yourself attracted to plenty of different type of men although you may desire specific attributes in your ideal man, you sometimes find yourself with men who may not hit that mark but you adapt since it’s easier to you than being single.
