I wouldn't say it's normal, but it may be understandable depending on your life circumstances. Although you say you didn't have an addict in your family, you may get attached to people very easily if you lived in a hostile family environment or didn't feel secure in your parents' love. Consciously or unconsciously, you may be searching for an attachment figure (i.e. a teacher or boyfriend) to take the place of the person who wasn't there when you needed them to be. It sounds like your boyfriend is willing to be there for you and accepts who you are, so I wouldn't say you necessarily need to change unless the dependency becomes a problem in your daily life or relationship.
Is it normal that I get way too attached to people?
