What is the term for someone who is addicted to cuddling called?
I believe it is normal of having a habit of hugging. I see it as a possible nonsexual but similarly stimulating hormone known as the 'cuddling hormone'. I'm going to make a wild guess for someone who is addicted to cuddling might have an underlying desire for oxytocin that the human body naturally produces. When engaging in sexual acts the body produces oxytocin, a chemical produced in the brain to promote feelings of connection and love. It is known as the "cuddling hormone" because it helps mothers bond with their babies. Similarly: Production of oxytocin increases during the adolescent years. Research has found that it is released in both men and women after orgasm and it is key to monogamy and long-term attachment. Areas of the brain rich in oxytocin light up when people who have been in love for decades were shown a photo of their beloved. Some behavioral experts theorize that differences in hormone release explain differences in how girls and boys perceive sex, but there is no scientific consensus on these theories. For girls, who have more oxytocin and may be more sensitive to it, some pscyhologists theorize that oxytocin will make them care about relationships and feel connections with others more intensely than boys. Boys also get a dose of oxytocin. According to Daniel Amen, author of Sex on the Brain, when a man achieves orgasm his oxytocin levels can rise up to 500% of their normal levels. Michael Gurian, a family therapist and New York Times bestselling author, has written, "when "a man ejaculates, he bonds utterly with" his partner. However, men also get a bigger dose of testosterone which may overpower the oxytocin. According to Laura Sessions Stepp, this is "a logical explanation for why girls are in turmoil after a hook up and boys are not". Sorry for expanding, but I felt the need to give a broader explanation of this.
What would you call someone who's obsessed with wealth/money?

What's the difference between being obsessed with someone and being in love with them?
Welllove and obsession are related in some aspects but can never be thought to be the same. It's like the difference between fresh and processed orange juice. Both are orange juice, but one is healthy while the other is very unhealthy. Same with love and obsession. The former is a beautiful feeling that's based on care, compassion, support, admiration, etc...while the latter is a crazy feeling that's harmful and selfish.There are some points which can easily differentiate both feelings well…When you love someone, you want the best for them whether they're a part of your life or not. When you are obsessed with someone you want them to be by your side all day. You want them to be yours regardless of how they'd feel about it.Love is when you give space to the other. Love is freedom. An obsessed person will make you feel trapped and suffocated with his/her constant calls/questions/doubts...You will never be able to satisfy their needs or breathe some air without being questioned.An obsessive person will try to sabotage your social life because they're jealous and controlling. He/she wants to have you for them only.An obsessive person can never trust you. A true loving relationship is based on trust. An obsessive person will always want to know every detail about the other person, while a true loving person will give you space because they know you, trust you and want you to be happy.Love is when you want the other person to be happy. Obsession is when you want the other person to be happy ONLY with you.Obsessive people are dependent. If they breakup, they could threaten with suicide or seek revenge because their lives is dependent on the other person. You are not allowed to be happy with someone else.Love is when you are happy on your own, but have chosen to share your happiness with someone else. Obsession is when your happiness depends on others.Obsessive people may have their lives wrapped up in the other person, so they may lose focus at work or lose their friendships or perform poorly in different areas in their lives while feeding on the other person's life.Love is when you take care of the other person's needs, whereas an obsessed person gives more importance to his/her needsFrom my point of view little bit of obsession in love is healthy but as very well said excess of everything is bad . So it goes here too…
