I have just been looking at different ways a person can be dependent because I have been thinking about my own situation and wanted to share them here and ask if anyone has other examples that they can think of or have experienced:-
depending on another person to reason or think for you depending on another person to soothe you emotionally or comfort you physically depending on another person to make decisions for you depending on another person to provide financially for you depending on another person's status to boost your self-esteem depending on another person's accomplishments to boost your self worth depending on another person's popularity to boost your self-worth depending on another person to care for your physical needs I noticed that essentially all these things seemed to indicate a possible core belief of helplessness or incapability or low self-worth. (I haven't researched dependent personality disorder fully so maybe stating whats already well known to other people here). |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
