Love addiction is about the extreme of it. It is not really about love. It's about, again, feeling good and getting that feeling through an obsessive-compulsive way.

It is really not about what we would typically understand as love and affection and warmth and cuddling and things like that.

It is generally not seen as a healthy preoccupation with another individual. It's seen as sort of a mechanical, almost using, of the other to get a particular emotional experience inside.
