One of the possible results of the test “What kind of emotional dependency do you have?”

People-pleaser

You secure affection by giving: you give in, adapt and prioritize what the other person wants. From the outside you seem generous, but inside you build up exhaustion and the sense that your wishes don't count.

Recommendations

✓Start with small "no"s and notice that the relationship doesn't break.
✓Before saying yes, take a few seconds to ask yourself what you want.
✓Your needs aren't a nuisance: they're information for the relationship.

About this test

Emotional dependency isn't always "I can't live without them". Sometimes it shows up as constant fear of being left, sometimes as a need to please, losing your identity or needing to know everything.

Pick the option closest to what you would actually do, not what you'd like to do.

The four faces of dependency

Fear of abandonment, closely linked to anxious attachment, makes any distance feel like a threat. People-pleasing means always putting the other person's wishes first to secure their affection. Fusion makes your tastes, plans and friendships dissolve into your partner's.

Hypervigilance, finally, is the need to know where the other person is, who they talk to or what they're doing in order to calm your insecurity. All four share a root: feeling that your worth depends on the relationship.

How to start changing it

Reclaiming your own space, learning to tolerate uncertainty and working on self-esteem are key steps. Emotional dependency responds very well to therapy.
