Emotional Dependency

Emotional dependency is a state of mind where a person is incapable of taking full responsibility for their own feelings. They do have emotions like sorrow, grief, heartbreak, anxiety, and depression but they cannot embrace, accept, or nurture these feelings.

Those with emotional dependency are usually people with low self-esteem, many insecurities and little self-confidence. Also, there are contributing elements from their experiences of relationships and the references that they’ve had throughout life.
