Possessive Personality Disorder......

This was taken from a Psychiatric Article.
I can see this happening to a friend that I really care about, but this person cannot see it happening. Neither I or this other person are the ones with this disorder.

Possessive Personality Disorder is a pattern that wherein people are possessive with others and things in their lives. Sometimes it can be with just one person, but often it is about all of their relations. This all goes to control issues, jealousy, and self-esteem.
We exist in a basically dysfunctional reality in which people are categorizing and studying behavioral patterns to become more self aware and heal. Possessive Personality Disorder is another lesson in human relationships and how we function and experience. All things always come down to fear, insecurity, lower self esteem and other lower vibrational emotions and how we learn to recognize and overcome them.
Possessive Personality Disorder can begin in childhood but more often shows itself in teenage years in teenagers as personality disorders begin to show themselves on a more serious levels around puberty, and a need to assert and find themselves. They are searching for their reality!

Examples of Possessive Personality Disorder
A relationships between friends.
Let us say, 2 people have been best friends for a long time. They share everything. Along comes another person, who takes time away from this friendship. Issues develop and friendship become 'challenged', another word that describes our experiences here. Many things seem to be challenged. The friendship between the 2 people, now becomes outgrown and can end in drama.
Many people report that long term friendships suddenly come to an end, become outgrown for one of the people involved, but they don't understand why. On occasion the friendships rekindle. For the most part they have served a purpose that worked at the time the people were friends, then moved on.

Reality is about learning lessons, change and growth. We have different friends at different points in our lives for different reasons. Some stay...some go....some are positive - some drive us crazy. They always change because we change our frequencies and needs.
Think about your life. Think about the friendships you have had - the people you have loved. See them at the different stages of your life. Examine your current friendships. Do you think they will last forever - or are these people just passing through.....?
Have you ever been possessive? Why? Is this your nature? This is not good - limits your emotional, mental and soul growth. We are here to experience as much as we can with whomever we meet along the road. You will lose out in the end. We are all free souls.
If you are involved in a possessive relationship - from parent to lover to friend - take a look at what is happening and if it is inhibiting you. Counseling could help the situation. Telling the person the relationship/friendship is over - can also help.
Did you say you can't change? Go to therapy. You have issues. You could find someone else with Possessive Personality Disorder to share your life. Whatever works! Usual people with this disorder chose partners who are free spirits. Uh oh! You're into serious emotional damage!
Some of the people I read who have Possessive Personality Disorder try to change - but unless the underlying cause of this type of anti-social behavior is found - they will go back to their original patterning.
Possessive Personality Disorder is extremely destructive and sabotaging. It involves a lack of self-confidence and a need for co-dependency.
