Emotional Development

Emotional dependency is the act of being dependent upon others by not defining your worth and not taking accountability for one’s feelings. When parents don’t love their children appropriately, it leads to emotional dependency Development During adolescence; the child can develop self-low esteem which acts as the foremost cause for psychological dependency. It teaches the child that only after meeting the hopes of his parents and other evocative people she will be loved. Any effort to uphold himself or show hisindependence will be rebuked or be punished. Hisannexescan becensored, and he speedilystudies not to makefights or not to trouble his parents if he needs to get the friendliness he wants.

Emotional dependency symptoms include; future constant insecurity,dominant and continuous feeling of anxiety, the fear of love loss, and the guilt feeling if one doesn’t pay attention to his or her partner. A child can be manipulated in taking the right attitude through-provoking guilt. Husbands often disappoint theirwives, whereby they complain more about being abused by their words in a disproportionate tone.

Construction of self-esteem to children has its failures. It is only built through the trust which the child’s parents place in him or her. When a parent gives his child, a piece of contradictory information concerning his capacities, therefore, a child fails during that particular stage. When a person is looking for love and acceptance from others or his self-esteem is low. A mistake of comparison between a toxic relationship and love with dependency can be an option.

In conclusion, some behaviours are pointers of unhealthy affairs, and they slowly indulge in dependencies like lack of respect, abuse, and insecurity. It’s the reason people try to ensure attention and steadiness that can be malformed into being independent.
