Can you be addicted to a person?

Question

I'm 14 & my best friend is a guy, well, all my friends are guys, but mainly him. It's summer now & we can only talk through fb cuz my mom hogs the phone & stamps don't cost 10 cents anymore. Anyway, my mom had the computer to fix something on my fb account & he was online & she started to talk to him. I did something I usually NEVER do. I begged & pouted & (oh God) stomped my feet & whined. I DO NOT whine. My mom looked at me like I was crazy and said that it's like I'm addicted to him. I told him about it & he said, "I'm addicted to you, you're addicted to me. We are just a couple of druggies." We laughed it off & we made it a joke, but now I'm wondering if he was serious & am I addicted to him? You see, we've known each other for 3 years & we both like each other a whole lot, it's just that he doesn't want to gamble on a relationship at all & something bad happen & he never gets to see me again. But you see, I don't get attached to people. I have "daddy issues" & mother issues & half brother issues & half sister issues & abondenment issues, basically, I have tons of issues that prevent me from emotionally attaching myself to people so how is it possible that I can be addicted to someone & feel these things when I believe liking someone is an illusion & true love doesn't exist. I don't know if it's cuz he has the same issues cuz he does, he doesn't get "close" to people either. Then, how is it we both go through separation anxiety over the summer & vacations from school. Even the weekends seems unbearable, so he comes over a lot. He's counting down the days until his birthday not because it's his birthday, but because I'll be there at his party. 
So, the question is, is it possible for two people to be addicted to each other? It sounds really stupid I know so plz do not point out the obvious & just give me a straight answer.

At first when I saw the title I though you were an obsessive freak, no offence. But after reading your story I think your personality shows that you are not obsessed with, you're just really missing him. You can be addicted to a person but I just call that mental. Being addicted is a bad thing. Do you fancy him? Or do you just need someone to be there (not in a cheesy way) thorugh the "daddy issues and mother issues"????

I don't think you're addicted.... its infatuation. You 'like' each other, and most likely both wish you could begin a relationship. So, don't freak out that you're 'addicted' or anything dramatic like that; its pretty normal. Most people, especially teenage girls (me included :p ) come to point of practical 'obsession' over someone they really like/care about. So, continue your friendship, maybe consider something more (don't push too hard for it), and just let it all ride out. Its great that you have found someone who you can actually count on, and feel comfortable with / trust :)

advantageous. intercourse is a effectual element. After further analyzing your question, I ought to assert that in case you could no longer help your self yet to offer into the guy, it ability that is not authentic which you somewhat decide for no longer something to do with them as you suggested above. in case you somewhat needed no longer something to do with them, your dislike of their presence could be extra effective than your want to offer into them. I had situations like that before, yet quicker or later I placed an end to it.
