There is a very fine line between being protective and possessive, and if you find yourself on the verge of innocent possessive ness, it may signal something dangerous.
It often starts with requests that seem to be extension of your affection..
These statements turn a shade darker with the use of expletives, nagging, threatening, emotional blackmailing and finally crying.
The question is, is this behaviour normal?
Possessiveness of any kind is a clear-cut sign of insecurity and the result of self-abandonment.
It is when you rely way too much on another person and expect them to make you feel loved and important.
The lack of self-love and self-confidence are the seeds sown which result in a full-blown streak possessiveness. It results in the feeling of needing someone to be happy, safe and secure.
When are you crossing the boundary?
1. Do you spy on their FB, Instagram and what’s app accounts or check their call logs when they are not around.
2. Do you closely monitor their interactions with people of opposite sex or same gender, be friends or colleagues.
3. Do you stalk people on their friend lists on any social media.
