In this journal assignment you will take the Love Addict Assessment attached (you do not have
to turn this in). You will answer the questions and then score yourself. Once you have your score
determined and identify what level of love addiction you fall into, you will then reflect on the
results, by answering the following questions. (1)Discuss your results of the assessment? How
do you feel about the results? (2) Based on the results, what do you think you need to work on to
prevent love addiction? If nothing explain why? (3) Based on the course material, what are some
ways you can change or prevent love addiction behavior? (4) How can you tell if someone else
might have a love addiction? (make sure to use course content). This journal entry is worth 5
points and will be based on your ability to self reflect and connect to course material. This
journal entry is due on November 10th (11:59PM).
The score that I received was not very surprising to me, however it was higher than I thought it
would be scored. I scored a seven on the addiction assessment, which states that I am a potential
love addict. I thought it was strange that the scoring was set at zero for a person who is not a love
addict at all, and anything above zero scores as a potential love addict. I felt like the results were
somewhat askew since I believe that most everyone would score at least one or more points. I do
not feel that I have even the potential to be a love addict, but that might just be denial. If there is
anything that I need to work on, I feel that it would be putting my trust in another person much
less the right person. On question number eight, it states “I either trust the wrong person or I
can’t trust at all”. That is me most of the time, and I feel that it is because of past experiences for
which did not go well. I think that in order to prevent love addiction from happening, it is very
important for individual growth to be paramount. By working on ourselves, we become less
dependent on others for what we need emotionally. It also prepares us to be independent in our
relationships and does not lead to over-reliance on the other person. By looking at the way that
the person reacts to situations in the relationship, abnormal jealousy, creating drama, and
excessive fantasizing will be some of the symptoms that show through.
