Are you a Love-Addicted Person.

 Here are some questions from the book I am reading to find out.

1. Do you dislike competitive situations?

2. Are you often sick?

3. Are you very dependent on a partner?

4. Do you feel best when you are doing things for others?

5. do you cry easily?

6. Do you feel very uncomfortable when criticised?

7. Do arguments upset you a great deal?

8. Are you afraid to be in control for fear of hurting others?

9. When making even a legitimate request, do you feel guilty?

10. Is it hard for you to express anger?

11. Do you minimize your capacities?

12. In spite of what people tell you, do you feel you are not gifted or attractive?

13. Is it hard for you to spend money on yourself?

14. Do you apologize when you give orders?

15. Do you feel misunderstood most of the time?

16. Do you feel other peoples' needs are more important than your own?

If you answer "yes" to any eight or more of these questions, you tend to be a love-addicted (self-effacing) person.

This is from the book I am reading Book of hope. No need to replay if you dont want to.

 This is the kind of person I am. I am always Putting others before myself. Sorry about your mom and how she treated you. My father is like that. We were only his kids when he wanted us to be. Now he is in prison and he is trying to "make up for the time he lost" with me.
