emotional dependence

Emotional dependence is a psychological state in which a person relies heavily on another individual for emotional support, validation, and a sense of self-worth. People experiencing emotional dependence often struggle to feel secure, happy, or confident without the presence or approval of the person they depend on. This can lead to clinginess, fear of abandonment, and difficulty maintaining healthy, balanced relationships.
