Seems like a highly fictionalized version of unregulated Borderline Personality Disorder
Edit: sorry to the people with BPD I offended, but would yall not call this a hyperfictionalized example of a Favorite Person? Emphasis, hyperfictionalized.
Characteristics of the Favorite Person Relationship:
Emotional Dependence: They become heavily reliant on the favorite person for emotional support, validation, and a sense of security. Fear of Abandonment: The person with BPD fears that the favorite person will leave them, which can lead to frantic efforts to maintain the relationship. Splitting: The person with BPD may alternate between idealizing and devaluing the favorite person, seeing them as either perfect or worthless. Unrealistic Expectations: The person with BPD may have unrealistic expectations of the favorite person, which can lead to disappointment and conflict.
