Clinging to people

I am unsure if you can call this an addiction but when one become super depending on a person, or clingy, his own free will is no longer free and he/she will do anything to keep their partner in their life. It is an often phrase people here "I am addicted to you" which can be easily seen as "I can't live without you or spend any time seperated from you". Is this a disorder? Being unable to have your own life even while being in relationship?

When some people feel very clingy to a person, they lose their identity and take up the identity of the person they are clinging to. The person you are clinging to can misbehave and it completely destabilises you mentally.

Clinging to people is not bad but being dependent on such people is the bad part of it. That would take away your freedom entirely. I am clingy when I fall in love. But I don't lose my independence and sense of self in my clingines.

Emotional dependency often manifests as an overwhelming need for the approval or presence of another person, sometimes to the point where personal boundaries are blurred, and it becomes difficult to function independently. While not necessarily a "disorder" in a clinical sense, it can certainly affect the health of a relationship and an individual's mental well-being.

I wouldn't say that being clingy is bad unless it becomes too much for the person who is dealing with the clingy person. If it gets to the point of where they feel as though they are drowning, have no time for themselves or start to feel unhappy with the situation, that is when I feel it becomes a problem, and the clingy person should either look at themselves to see how to change or even get some help.
