Proximity-Based Relationship Syndrome: Repeatedly Entering Romantic Relationships Out of Convenience

Proximity-Based Relationship Syndrome: Repeatedly Entering Romantic Relationships Out of Convenience

This concept describes a psychological pattern where individuals repeatedly initiate romantic relationships based primarily on physical proximity rather than emotional compatibility or shared values. Instead of seeking meaningful connections, they default to the most accessible option, often leading to unstable or unfulfilling relationships.

Key Traits:

1. Prioritization of Convenience Over Compatibility: Choosing partners based on accessibility rather than genuine attraction.

2. Repeated Short-Term Relationships: Entering and exiting relationships frequently due to lack of deeper connection.

3. Avoidance of Emotional Investment: Settling for what’s easy instead of seeking a meaningful bond.

DSM-5 Perspective:

This behavior may align with traits of:

Fear of Intimacy (Common in Avoidant Attachment Styles): Preferring low-effort relationships to avoid deep emotional engagement.

Impulsivity (Common in BPD & ADHD): Engaging in relationships without fully considering long-term impact.

Dependent Personality Traits: Seeking companionship for security rather than genuine connection.

Note: This concept is not a clinical diagnosis. For personalized support, consult a licensed mental health professional.
